Not to mention the tablecloth, placemats, etc., etc... *sigh*

Product: A sewing machine   My wife has no real hobbies. I have always encouraged her to take up something so I don't feel guilty about spending time on my numerous hobbies. So when she expressed an interest in doing some sewing, I immediately went out and did some research on sewing machines. We ended up buying her a basic, but still pricey, Bernina. I think she's used it twice.

Product: 3 barca loungers   My husband did need a recliner - but then he found a guy selling 30 matching barca loungers on Craigslist. The guy had a ministry that failed and was liquidating his stuff. You'd think a ministry with barca loungers instead of pews would do well.... regardless, we didn't need three of them!

Product: Pottery barn candle vase   My woman was in this mood where she felt the need to hint to me that she wanted me to buy her something by commenting how much she liked just about everything we saw. I was getting so tired of it that I decided to buy the most tacky and ugly thing she commented on, which was this mosaic candle jar. When I started buying it she quickly changed her mind and started hinting not to buy it.

He bought about eight sets of twin bedsheets: We have no twin beds, nor plans of ever getting any. He bought about 20 cans of car spray paint in shades that do not remotely match our cars. At least it was all cheap. . .

Product: Cat Collars   I woke my hubby up on a recent Saturday and the first thing he said was that he wanted to buy Christmas collars with bells on them for both our cats. I told him the sound would just annoy us and the cats. It'll be cute for a few hours and then we'll just take them off. A waste of $15. I guess it was win-win because he got the collars but I ended up being right.

Product: Vodka in an AK-47 Shaped Bottle   I bought this really cool vodka set that came in an old style ammo case. It is a AK-47 shaped bottle filled with (Red Army) vodka complete with shot glasses. The perfect Christmas gift. Well, neither of us or anyone we know drinks vodka. It is too akward and fragile to display. It sits in the box with a trigger lock under a disused cabinet.

Product: stretch mark cream   for Valentine's Day! It sounds heartless, but I had just had our first baby, and he knew I was self-conscious about my stretch marks. When he got off of work (night shift) at 6 am, the grocery store was the only place open. So he got me flowers and stretch mark cream. Poor man was very sleep-deprived. Fortunately, I received it with good humor.

I do eat a lot of whole wheat couscous which I make in the microwave by heating for a few min. and then letting it sit for five min....but I don't eat rice...and even if I did I don't think I'd need a giant machine to sit on the countertop to cook it with. He was so close yet so far off with this one. It's still in the box and I've had if since 10/08.

Product: One of everything in the Ikea Market Hall   By the time you get all the way through the Ikea store and on the lower floor "Market Hall" on your way to the exit, the Ikea customer's sales resistance is low and the customer buys one of everything. Pillows, plants, shower curtains, baskets, clocks, whatever. We have both done this and agreed with the other's idea of what to buy just to get out of there. Why don't people just cook Swedish meatballs at home and give the money directly to Goodwill?
