    My grandma gave me a tool for the car so you can cut the seatbelt or break the window if needed. Thanks for the doomsday thoughts.

    My wife gave me a wooden handled hair brush once... hello...I'm going bald and cut my hair with a # 2 clipper. Really?

    Year old chocolate from my then boyfriend's mother.

    I don't have concrete proof that it was a year old. But she was notorious for shopping 'day after' sales, and hoarding, and didn't like me. Chocolate from that shop is always amazing, and this was so bad I through it away. I considered taking it back from the store, but having suspicions that they'd say, "We didn't even SELL this product this year," wasn't as demoralizing as having them actually SAY it.

    Also, a remote control fart machine from my now ex-boss. But that wasn't a total loss, because I regifted to my FIL who loved it.

    When my brother and his ex were still married she gave me an 'Orgasm Donor' t-shirt. In front of the whole family.
    She was from crazytown so it was to be expected.

    When I was like 9, there was a Cuban kid that lived next door who gave me frilly underwear for Christmas and insisted it was a tradition in Cuba. I don't know if it is or not, but it was kind of creepy.

    My mom gives me framed pictures of garden things with cutesy quotes on them or note paper with cats on it. Stuff you would either give to a 10 year old or a 60 year old.

    I would rather have socks or tools.

    Awh but that's kind of cute :laugh:

    My husband one year got me:
    * A plain gray steering wheel cover
    -and-
    * A small space heater


    Really, though, I'm just grateful for the gift of having him in my life, so actual "presents" are not that big of a deal.

    What is the worst or weirdest Christmas gift you have ever received from a spouse, g/b friend, lover, or s/o?


    I was given a shirt in a size SMALL, when I was at my heavest weight and wearing a size 2X Shirt....

    My sister wears a medium/large and got a small this year lol.

    I think I'd rather have that and work towards losing the weight, last Christmas I got a men's XL shirt from my boyfriend =p he noticed I had taken to wearing huge shirts but I was feeling pretty bad about myself over it.

    Than in 5th grade my secret santa got my cat pee scented body wash I think it was supposed to smell like Jasmine....it was awful.

    My dad got me a book called "Dating for Dummies" (or maybe it was "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Dating") when I was 19. :laugh: I had been dating a pretty great guy at the time! I gave it to my sister. Lol!

    A plastic toy that had two animals standing on it, and when you turned it on, they played catch with a little ball. It was meant for four year olds, and I was twelve. Thanks, mom.
    Every year I insist she shouldn't bother getting me anything unless its something specific I need. She always gives me something else. We have so much stuff accumulating, especially with kids' toys... Don't have room for extra stuff. I also suggest she donate to charity in my name instead, but she wants to give something I can unwrap. She means well, we are just two very different people.

    In 2004 we moved from MI to AZ. My in-laws didn't want us to move and because we rented out our MI house (because we couldn't sell it due to the economy) they thought we'd move back even though we bought a house in AZ and told them we weren't ever going to move back to MI if we didn't absolutely have to. Come Christmas that year my MIL got me really rough, scratchy towels that matched the decor in the MI house and that she knew didn't match the AZ house at all. We kept 2 of them in the trunks of the cars and threw the rest away. They were too scratchy for me to even be comfortable donating.

    Weird thing is my MIL and I get along great. I have no idea why I got those towels.

    A pair of pliers that fold up and fit in my pocket. :indifferent:
    Oh, I'd love that! Want one of these stupid mugs with a teddy bear on it? I am not into teddy bears and, at the time, I wasn't drinking anything that needed a mug!
    My grandma gave me a tool for the car so you can cut the seatbelt or break the window if needed. Thanks for the doomsday thoughts.
    Oh, I want one of those too! Where did she get it?

    You are definitely the winner.

    I don't have a weird gift story. Sometimes I get things I don't want or that don't fit but there's nothing weird about them. Like the yellow button down shirt. I don't wear button-downs too often and I never wear yellow. But it was a perfectly normal shirt. That I never wore. :laugh:
