Today, I think my friends were trying to tell me something with all my Christmas gifts being mostly perfume, deodorant, and soap. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend decided to gift me soap, a razor, and deodorant for my birthday. FML
Today, I dug out the 5 fancy, extremely expensive candles I bought during Black Friday. I lit one up, and was delighted that it smelled so great. My mother then walked into my room and stated that it smelled "like shit". The other four were going to be a Christmas gift for her. FML
Today, it’s my birthday. At work, at my desk, I found this beautiful gift-wrapped box and a card that read, “From all of us, we really care about you, and hope you like your present!” I opened the box. It had body shower gel, deodorant, soap, fragrance spray, and “frizz shampoo.” Hint taken. FML
Today, I went to a work party where we had a Secret Santa. I gave a nice set of beer bottles with glasses. When my name was called I naturally picked the biggest gift. I got groceries. I now have dog food and men's body spray. I don't have a boyfriend or a dog. FML
Today, I received an early Christmas gift from my boyfriend of ten months. It was soap. In a few days he will be receiving his very expensive specialized car horn he has wanted for years, while I will be enjoying my new bar of Walmart brand soap, which has already begun to give me a rash. FML
Today, I showered with my favorite soaps, and I used my favorite perfumes and lotions too. I layered my scents to get a nice fruity, girly scent, which helps boosts my confidence. My husband walked in the bedroom when I was done and said that it smelled like cheesy garlic bread. FML
Today, my boyfriend was continuously telling me how great my best friend smelled the other night and how I should wear some perfume that smelled like that. I have the same exact perfume and have been wearing it for months. FML
Today, I came home and found a can of body spray. My parents get me a new scent whenever they go shopping, which is usually at least twice a week. They left a note: "Do you get it yet?" FML
Today, at the office, everyone in my department swapped secret santa presents. I bought the guy whose name I picked a DVD box-set of his favorite TV series. One of my friends got a fancy make up kit. Another got a pack of posh notebooks. I got a toilet plunger. FML
Today, my boyfriend's mother told me she bought the same perfume that my boyfriend got me for Christmas last year. He loves that perfume. Now, whenever he smells me, he's going to think of his mom. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sounds like you are female. Unfortunately, all those items are cop-out gifts for females. I cringe every year when some well-meaning family member gives me a bag full of B&BW lotions and perfumes. I have enough to last me probably about 6 years.

Why? I love smell good stuff. My husband knows when he messes up he doesn't need flowers, he just goes to Bath & Body Works. I love wearing the scents he picks out cause I know that is what he likes. A cop out gift is a gift card.

here's a thought: take the hint and take a shower.

It was probably just a cop-out gift. If you're not showering at least once a day, start, because it is still possible that you do have a problem lol

Every gift has a meaning! If it was just perfume or soap then yes it is just a cop out gift, but deodorant? That's a wake up call saying to USE SOME!

Take the hint! For God's sake. For the people around you. PLEASE take the hint. BO is awful.

Maybe that you're difficult to buy for? Maybe if you have a hunch that you stink or you're fat you can worry but, if not, just assume you need to hint better because you're hard to buy for..

Haha I got loads of deodorant and shower gel. I don't stink though. perhaps it's just an easy way out of getting a decent present?

Maybe they were trying to tell you how good a brand of hygienic products are? Or maybe they got coupons/gift cards for Bath and body works and decided not to waste them by giving you hygienic products.

Unless you have horrible hygiene and don't wear deodorant, you're making entirely too much of it. Nearly everyone gets an excess of this products at Christmas because they're easy gifts, especially for people that don't make what they want known. I have several friends that ask specifically for such products because they enjoy them, but don't buy them for themselves because they think the nicer products are a waste for everyday use.

You do realize that bath sets are a really cheap really common gift right? Unless they got you an entirely normal brand (suave, axe, herbal essences) of soap/deoderant/perfume by itself and not with others then you probably just got a lot of similar $5 gifts from people.
