Poll: Something you *had* to have that you don't use.
Name something that you *had* to have, either as a gift, or you just ending up buying, but is now gathering dust.
Re: Poll: Something you *had* to have that you don't use.
I have a few things. One being a clothes steamer. I thought how great it would be to not have to take things to the dry cleaner for pressing. **rolling eyes** - yeah, I think I used it maybe a handful of times, and now it's in the back of the closet.
I also *really* wanted a double boiler, b/c I love making desserts, and at the time I thought it would make cake balls easier to dip in melted chocolate. My ILs got me a really nice Calphalon one for Xmas maybe 3 years ago? Yeah - I have never even taken it out of the box - it is still sitting at the bottom of my pantry.
Granted, I did have a baby shortly after that, so I don't do that many desserts anymore, therefore not much need, anymore, but I still feel bad that they spent the time and money picking it out, and I haven't used it. :-(

So Tasty, So Yummy
My Mio watch. HAD to have it. Just had to. I bought it and used it for a week. I don't even know where it is now. It was $70.
Stand up boxing bag thing. We had to have it. We used it for a couple of weeks.
Oh and the Shark Ultra Steam Blaster. This is the biggest pain to use, but I just had.to.have.it!!!
And the personal trampoline. Really? I've used it maybe 20times over the course of 4 years. But I was certain I was going to use it, gosh darn it!
yeah, i bought one of those things you wear on your arm that tracks your movement for the day. granted, i was kind of "sold" the idea by someone else but it made so much sense. $200 down the drain and i can't even find all the pieces to put it on CL.
My mom asked what DH and I wanted for Christmas so she could buy it when she was here. I said a Cuisinart. Still in the box...
I have a similar one. It is fantastic, but a PITA.
Especially when you're a lazy ass like me

ipod, ipod shuffle, garmin - although i did use these when i was running.
netbook, baby bath sling.

My Hunter rain boots - although it has barely rained since I got them.I thought I would wear my nice trench coat and rain boots all the time..yea right.
Oh! I know people who would have bought it from you!
A fossil purse that I drove all over town looking for... I carried it for two months, maybe.
A pair of 4.5/5-inch heels. That one gets a big WTF face. They were pretty. And inexpensive as far as pretty shoes go. But I can't walk in them.
I also have a road bike and a mountain bike - I haven't ridden the mountain bike since the month I got pregnant with L.
A jogging stroller/bike trailer thingy - that almost never gets used either.
ditto.
I will totally take that off your hands, I could use it for work!
My Wii Fit comes to mind now. We have the Kinect and never use the Wii anymore.
ETA: posted this from the iPad and apparently quoting doesn't work. I meant to quote the post about the mini-trampoline!
Formal silverware. All still in the box. Wonder if I could still return it....6 years later. :-/
Zebra print desk chair. Used during one year (the last year) I taught school. Now it sits in a closet.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted and used against you. My Blog
A built in wine fridge. This was something I had to have in the new house. Well, a year later it is still in the box. Although... not my fault! DH has to hire someone to come cut up our cabinets and install it. Once he does that, it will get used all the time.

For me it's my iPad. It's not functional enough to use for everyday word processing/e-mail/etc. so I don't use it much...other than as a "kindle" type reader. My DD uses it more for games than anything. I should've spent that $700 on something else.
I will buy it from you! I love mine so much I wish I had 2.

The Roomba vacuum. I hate it.
The baby bouncy chair, she hates it.
