I got her the womens helium from Marmot I find it amusing that your first pieces of trad gear are the three least useful stoppers... Gotta love climbing gifts from non-climbers! That's why I'm so specific about any climbing related gift... I've used the #3 a few times, but the #1 and #2 spell instant death ( or at the very least one hell of a whipper when you rip them out) I think its all about gifts for the thread after all its only the start of the rack and his girl friend at least did not get him a sweater (red white and green) xmass sweater. 
I think they were a last minute gift, she is a climber, doesn't know much about trad. My main presents (box of holds) clinked like trad gear so I think she got me the 3 smallest sizes so I could buy the set (#4-#13) and have a whole set.... I know they might not be the most used, but they are my first pieces of trad gear. I was so sure that the holds were gear, turned out the bolts for the holds were what was clinking, I think she didn't want to see my hopes crushed when it wasn't trad gear, not that they would have been.... that much
