25. A toothbrush and toothpaste
26. A trip in your new plane.......and it's your first time flying.
27. A carton of cigarettes and tell her "start this, you're too stressed out"
28. A surprise birthday party with all her ex's invited.
29. A surprise birthday party with only your friends invited over to watch a sport she hates.
30. Two tickets to a sports event that she detests.
31. A day playing golf and you say "You need to learn something other than sitting on the couch"
32. You give her a card and say "this is all I can afford cause you eat so much"
33. Weight watchers

Men and women alike do not always think before they buy. Either that, or they think they know a person better than they do and they buy something totally off base. The ultimate insult and worst items are those that will benefit him more than her. Why do that? It's like asking for directions. You won't get anywhere and you'll waste money unless you just do the painless thing and ask her!
