 I was always of the opinion that buying your own gift was much more satisfactory than being incredibly disappointed.   It takes only one vacuum cleaner on Valentine's Day tied with a red ribbon to confirm my suspicions.

 

 

Absolutely. My husband once gave me a mailbox for my birthday. Admittedly we were in process of building a new house in a very rural area so a mailbox on the road was a necessity. But for my birthday?! :S I must admit that 30 years later I have never allowed him to forget it. It has actually become a running family joke. At least I think of it as a joke. :P (And there wasn't even a nice surprise present inside after I unwrapped it.)
