What's yours?
A couple weeks ago, DH said he bought me something that I will either think is funny, or I will roll my eyes. Well...neither, really, just more perplexed. He bought me three foot tall cardboard cars from the board game Life.
The thought was sweet (he thought we could use them for the pregnancy reveal) but I'm, like, "what?"

Ohh well it makes sense if he was thinking to use it for gender reveal. Otherwise I'd completely roll my eyes bc they are huge and I hate clutter haha!

@snowjewelz: Problem is, you can't move the little people around and we have no idea if we are having a boy or girl. Plus...we have no plans for a gender reveal! Sweet, but totally bizarre.

@crazydoglady: Hahahha ummm... Yeah I want to know what he planned on doing too! Maybe he thought the people were removable...?!

My former-hippy husband got me a diva cup when we'd been dating like 2 months! If he hadn't been The One, it would have been really weird!

@crazydoglady: This is hilarious.
Once she wrapped up some ears of corn which I thought was pretty weird. But it was one gift in a series that made a whole dinner so i guess it was ok! Haha.

Most of my weird gifts from my SO were things he gave me, but really intended for himself. Once he gave me an obscure electronic gadget that I didn't even know existed, much less want.
He has finally started to buy things for me the last two years.

When I was pregnant with LO2 DH got me this personalized fork from Etsy that said “eating for two.” I still don’t get what I was supposed to do with it. Eat with it? We have a drawer full of matching forks. Put it in my dresser as a keepsake? I also wasn’t a huge eater when pregnant and message is vaguely offensive, lol.

@ShootingStar: This is amazing. And how the heck did he come across it?
@AnnabelleG: Hahahaha
@wrkbrk: What was the occasion?! I'm so curious.
@FaithFertility: At first I thought you meant a stuffed animal...yeah, totally different!

This isn’t weird from a husband to a wife, but when we were 17/18, my husband (then bf) got me a microfiber robe for my birthday. We were in HS and I thought it was so weird.
Years later I found out his mom suggested it because she thought it would be good for college. And then I was like “oh that’s a really good idea!” Haha. Except I didn’t go away to college for two years because I did a local community college.

@ShootingStar: this is my favourite one so far! I actually asked my husband to get me an engraved piece of cutlery for every one of our anniversaries. One says “the first” one says “our 1st baby”, etc. It makes for an expensive piece of cutlery...but I like them and figured they would be useful and he wouldn’t have to think about what to get.
When we were dating he quickly picked up tiny book at the mall that said “a book for girlfriends” but it was actually a book about your friend who is a girl... In it he wrote that it was a book that began to describe the ways he loved me. One page says “girlfriends are great because you can go shopping together”. To be fair, we were shopping together and he quickly scanned a page that wasn’t clear what the book was about, but it’s still hilarious and I still have it.
