Funny Or Weird Christmas Gifts

[ISupportHer]

What is the funniest gift you have ever received? Or the strangest? Or most inappropriate?

I will have to think of this myself but I do remember getting a mop! From my wife! I had been complaining about the old one (yes I use a mop in our house! Believe it or not!) So that was one of my Christmas gifts that year.

The lesson? Be careful what you wish for! :D

Oh, I remember another one. Just recently. Does everyone know what a Chia pet is? It includes some sort of clay animal with some sort of seeds that you smear on and water and then you end up with an animal with small plants of some sort but it looks like hair or fur. I have male pattern baldness and I got a Chia pet head and it was suggested that I use the stuff to put on MY head to grow "hair"!

:confused:

One of my friends got me a necklace one year. It looked like a pirate theamed item with a silver finish over black. I loved it! Put it on and continued. She warned me not to let anyone mess with it until I could enjoy it alone. The warning went in one ear and out the other. Went to my grandmother and my great aunt was there. She asked about the necklace as she knew someone who would enjoy it. I told her I don't know as I passed it over so she could look at it. We talked for a bit as she examined the necklace turning the smooth pirate pendant in her hand. That's when I realized what my friend gave me as it started vibrating loudly in my aunt's hands.

My brother one year gave me a twenty dollar bill frozen inside a metal bowl the was boxed and wrapped and then ductaped with I think 5 layers of tape then wrapped again. It was a nightmare trying to get into the present and then a nightmare to wait for 2 days for this giant bowl to thaw enough for me to get the twenty out.

Again one sent to my dad. We took a refrigerator box filled it with the old weight set a bunch of smelly socks we had been saving for a month and newspaper. Inside that horrible smelling giant box was a tiny flashlight for his key chain that he said he wanted.

And personal best/worst gift. One year i got mud flaps and a pen. and that was it. this was the year I had turned 16. I was so mad because I didn't even have a car so what the heck good were mud flaps to me? The pen i didn't understand either. Finally everything everyone else got was unwrapped and I was sulking in the corner. My dad walks over to me and says "Do you think you can use that pen and sign this for me?" The man handed me insurance papers for a 1985 ford f-150 and said "you owe me 800 bucks plus insurance for each month."

I received dishcloths from my mother - I can't remember whether it was for Christmas or Birthday. I got other stuff too, but dishcloths?!! She even wrapped them up!

My ex mother-in-law once bought me a giant box of soap powder.

Wonder what she was trying to tell me with that one. !!!

When I was in grade school, sixth grade to be exact so I would have been 11 years old, there was a student gift exchange in my class. Each student was to bring in a wrapped gift and each gift was only marked if it was from/for a girl or boy. On the day of the holiday party the teacher passed out gifts to each student randomly. When I opened the gift I received it was a package of underwear. Seriously?! What kind of parent sends in a package of underwear for a class gift exchange??

This year, my daughter is in Kindergarten and had her first class gift exchange. I was relieved when the request came home but the teacher was specific about the gifts...books. Each student was to purchase a book and wrap it to go under the class tree. On the last day of school before winter break they were able to pick a wrapped gift from under the tree and each student ended up with a new book!!!!

So far this year... A grape. Yes you heard me a single grape. I know some messed up people. Wouldn't change the most of them for the world. Mood I'm in right now I would throw a couple of them threw the ice though.

Well, this could be good! Save it for several years until it ferments then squeeze it into a tiny little glass! Cheers!

I got a tea strainer with a rubber ducky attached, so you put the tea leaves in the strainer and then just leave it floating on the water, in the cup.

I did get given a pink fluffy bathrobe once, with my name inscribed no less...except that I was promised a car? I didn't even want a car...I never asked for a car...I don't even LIKE cars that much, infact, cars scare me...but after listening to mum hype it up for a whole year...I got my hopes up that I was getting a car. Instead, I got a pink bathrobe with my name inscribed, and she totally acted like she'd never mentioned the car thing, when I asked her where the car was??

I thought she was joking, and it was coming...but she just carried on as normal...like nothing happened...and then told me I was ungrateful for not appreciating what I got!

Couldn't believe it!:rolleyes:
