I recently had a birthday. My colleagues were lovely and I received many gifts. One of my younger co-workers (he's in his 20s so around 10 years my junior) gave me a very cute medium-sized cuddly toy. I thought it was sweet. However, some of my friends have commented that it's an odd gift for a colleague of the opposite sex. My DH wasn't bothered and found it amusing. It is now being cuddled by my DS at night.
I am just wondering if it is a strange gift? For context, my colleague is a lovely guy and we're friendly i.e we have a laugh but there's absolutely nothing untoward.
