Default The worst frog gifts .......you know you get them !!!!!

Ok we all get bad frog gifts .......or atleast I frequently do . You know the kind when you open it you say "oh.............(long pause while you think of where the hell you're gonna put it so the next time they come over they will see it ) thanks, just what I needed !!!! Yes , I know it's the thought that counts , and I like just as much as anyone to be rembered and thought of , but I guess it's the curse of a frogger that EVERYTIME relatives sees a frog they think of me and buy it !!! Here is a few of my favorite bad frog gifts of all times ....and yes they are out but hidden stratigicly around the yard .
Now I wanna see yours ........If the admin and mods will let me if yours is the worst I'll send you a free Sounds of Poison Dart frogs CD .
Lets have fun .

Hmm, well this isn't exactly what you had in mind I don't think, but when I was wanting my first dart my husband thought it would be neat to try to find some and suprise me with them. What he bought me instead was a pair of tomato frogs. So, while not exactly the kind of knickknacks that you had in mind, it was a frog gift that at the time I really didn't want, but he had spent 80 dollars for these frogs and he was so proud of himself, and I had to smile and say thank you, sure I love them, and then do research on tomato frogs because I had a 20 gallon set up for darts and these are nothing like darts at all and I had no idea what kind of care they needed.

He gave me the frogs over dinner in a restaurant, actually, with a bad og 15 crickets which lasted them all of 2 days. I made very frequent runs to the pet store at first trying to keep these bottomless pits fed until I got a cricket box and started buying them by the 1000. They are so much more high maintenance than darts and not nearly as fun because they are fat and lazy and sleep all day. But they were my first frogs and my husband was so cute and sheepish when he gave them to me, so they kind of grew on me. I keep faithfully buying them their crickets and replanting the plants that they dig up. I never did change their cage around, they are in a tank that was designed originally for darts.
Here they are:

I just tossed at least a dozen ugly/tacky frog gifts. Most of them from my mother-in-law, a few from my mother.
