Those things are DANGEROUS regardless, and even 'not expired' would crack me up as a Christmas gift

Well, my ex hub was terrible with presents; IF he even remembered to get me one. The two worst ones were a TRASH CAN one year and an electric litter box another year. Not too bright.

My ex was the worst and always waited until Christmas Eve day to go out shopping for me. For our first Christmas together, he gave me a pair of Singer scissors and I was so hurt, but ya know, I still have them after 38 years and they work great. My present sweetheart (28 years) is the best and has always put thought and love into his gifts.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE

When we were dating, my ex would always wait until Christmas Eve to shop, and wanted me to go with him and help him find gifts for his three kids. Trying to find kid gifts on Christmas Eve is a sure-fire way to kill your holiday spirit, no matter how much you may have started out with. After two years of that, I started shopping for his kids when I shopped for M'ija. Then, of course, Christmas shopping became MY job, and he would actually ask me what WE had gotten for his kids. The first Chriatmas after we separated, he asked me if he could reimburse me half of what I had spent on his kids' gifts and put his name on the tag. I was close to broke, so I agreed. The next year, he called me the day before the kids were to arrive to ask how much he owed me - he had just assumed that I would continue shopping for his kids and we would continue to share the cost in perpetuity. He got extremely peeved that I had not let him know in advance that I did not want to share expenses that year, and that I had put HIM in the position of having to shop for HIS kids at the last minute.
