A Reddit user details the hilarious and frustrating experience of receiving dish sponges as an early Christmas gift from her husband.
Gift-giving on Christmas can be a real gamble; sometimes you hit the jackpot and other times you unwrap a dud. One woman received an early gift from her husband, but she was not impressed with the 10 dish sponges he got her, as he started using them first. The woman wanted a Kindle, and even helped her husband buy one for her, but he decided to keep that safe until Christmas, so he could use the sponges instead.
Our Reddit poster was having a late night, busy prepping bottles, trying to wrap up her day. Her husband, armed with a bag and a mischievous smile, announced that he had decided to give her his Christmas gift early – you know, so it could get a lot of use before December 25th. Intrigued but unsuspecting, she opened the bag to reveal a treasure trove of … cleaning supplies. Ten-plus Scrub Daddies (and Mommas) in various colors, each one practically begging to be dunked in dishwater. Yeah, nothing says “I love you” quite like a fresh batch of sponges, does it? And the best part in all this is that her husband tested out his thoughtful gift by doing the dishes that very night, and he couldn’t stop raving about how amazing they were compared to her favorite scrubber. Oh, and that Kindle she really wanted and knows he got her for? Well, that one’s staying wrapped under the tree. Because heaven forbid she gets a head start on enjoying something she’d actually love to use every day. For the bizarre “gift”. She was just standing there, watching him washing the dishes with excitement while rolling her eyes hard and asking herself “Did he really just get me cleaning supplies for Christmas?” Not cool, dude, not cool! There are some things you just don’t gift, especially for Christmas, and cleaning supplies are definitely at the top of the list. The problem with gifting household items or tools is that it can blur the line between a thoughtful gesture and perpetuating unequal household responsibilitie
