I just want to preface this by saying that my brother is a very thoughtful guy. He and his wife sent me a wonderful Christmas gift of sausage, cheese, beef sticks, and a sampler of Spanish Iberico ham.
I know it was expensive, but other than the cheese I can't eat it. The problem is I no longer eat red meat and the salt in the ham would probably kill me if I did. On a positive note, it will not go to waste because there are family members who will happily scarf it down. Probably right in front of me.
But I feel bad. It is completely my fault because I never told him I don't eat meat anymore.
So that got me thinking... what gifts have you received or given that were completely off the mark?
