Ok, so my inlaws are crazy. Insane. Total bat *kitten*. anyways...a few years ago my MIL got me a jean jacket. It looked really nice as I was getting it out of the box. Then I turned it around. It was a picture of mickey mouse sledding with Donald Duck. Seriously? Am I 5 years old? She also got me one of those indoor waterfalls and at the time I had 5 cats and a great dane who would use it at a water fountain. Not good. Of course I smiled and said thank you. The gifts were later regifted.

What crazy gifts have you ever received? I need good stories!

    There is always something every year. This year my fam and I celebrated xmas early because people would be out of town. One gift received was a couple boxes of 5 month old, expired muffins.

    A gift that I had given someone for their birthday. They kept it 6 months to give it back to me...

    My stepdad, apparently thinking it was just a travel size regular deodorant, put a can of FEMININE deodorant in my stocking, "In case I was out and wanted to freshen up."


    Funniest. Gift. Ever.

    I teach. A child's parent once gave me a half-used tube of self tanner that she said was terrible on her but that I would probably like anyway.

    My Grandma used to give me a nightgown with different animals every year. Puppies, kittens, one year I think a unicorn. This continued well into my twenties.

    Oh Lord. This reminds me of another one. About 15 years ago my husband's mom, aunt, and grandma went to NYC to see the Rockettes perform. They invited me along. Fine. The morning of the show they showed up at my door and the grandma handed me a gift saying "You have to wear this to NYC." I opened it and it was a Christmas sweater with a bunch of santa's all over it. And worse, they all had matching ones! I was so embarrassed! I kept my coat on the entire time and couldn't wait until that day ended. They were SO weird the entire time. His grandma also pinched by butt and told the waiter at dinner that "no one is allowed to have any alcohol at her table." The wacko is still alive and they still go to the Christmas show every year, wearing matching sweaters. I haven't gone ever again!

    My step grandmother gave me a picture frame that had the mine and my kids names engraved. The problem was that she spelled my daughter's name wrong and she put my ex-husband's name on it as well :noway:

    Last year my mom gave me a Tweety Bird sweatshirt. It was fuzzy and warm, and I would have loved it if I were 10...
