Meh, it's just something unique and unexpected, I would just think of it that way.

Yeah, adult coloring is supposed to be meditative and calming, so if someone gave me an already colored in coloring book of something I was interested in, I'd be kind of confused. That's just me, though.

Interesting? Unique? Cool?
Depends on the man. My husband would think it’s lame.

My gf knows me well enough to not do that... lol.

Especially if it's colored in... the hell is THAT?!?!

A piece of jewelry, a new pair of tights, something for the kitchen, an art glass piece... much much better.

Honestly its a lot of work and while I would appreciate the effort and the thoughtfulness behind such a gift, and so I would express my apprciation for the work involved, its really not something that I would actually be that interested in though.

How would someone use or display such a gift? It's not exactly an art piece, not exactly a book you would read, enjoy and then share with others. Once he has flipped through it, what happens to it?

Ridiculous. Hell, leave it blank and let me color in it. Better yet, a few colored photos would fit better.

Did she color it in for him. If so, it is up there with the most thoughtful gifts I can imagine. If she bought a used coloring book on ebay that is not a collectible or something, then its lame.

Lame.

Might as well add a few scratch offs that were already scratched off.
