This is the most random, possibly passive-aggressive birthday gift I’ve ever received…

[MonicaFaloolaGeller]

It was my birthday yesterday. I’m 36 and not particularly hairy of face.

This arrived in the post today from my Mother.

I mean I hate to sound ungrateful, I know it’s the thought that counts and all but… WTF?!

That's her Christmas present sorted then! Prime re-GIFT material

There are no words, beats the Scottish phrase book my Mum gave me for my birthday, the day after my daughter was born.
Pack it up and give it back to her for Christmas!

Oh dear

I would actually quite like one of those!!

Is it any good? I’m covered in facial fuzz

Your username is apt, op...
Is she a bit dotty?

Wow! Are you sure she didn't realise and just thought it was some posh make up possibly??

If this was from my mum her thought processes would have been something like "well she is turning 36 so The Change is only round the corner, better give her something so she can keep those youthful looks she's currently still enjoying". My mum has a loooong history of batty presents.

What does it do? Any chance she missed the hair removal bit (small type) and thought it was something else?

They're crap anyway.

Yes this. I thought it was as first, only when having a proper look at it...

But tbf, it doesn't exactly scream thoughtful if she barely looked at it...you'd at least turn it over / open the lid and check the colours if you though it was makeup.

According to google it’s essentially a shaver.

She will have got it from one of those crappy TV shopping channels too so I can’t even take it back to Boots or wherever and swap it for something I might actually use…

Also the box is a bit torn so it’s been opened. She definitely knew what she was giving me.

You can get them in Wilko!

I don't see any problem. She must have seen it and thought you would like it.
My mum often gives me really unexpected things, but most are very useful and quite practical ime.

Sorry you got a rubbish present though!

It’s absolutely brilliant though! I bought it to touch up down below and after I cleaned it I started toying with it all over and my whole body bar the hair in my head and my eyebrows are now as smooth as an egg!

It’s fantastic but addictive!

As pp said, perfect for re-gifting.🎄🎄🎄

Regift at Christmas.

My mil bought me a bath duck with a huge penis for Christmas one year 😩
I just thought wtf possessed her to think I'd actually want that 😳

I think a box of ten ladies for her Christmas present would be ideal…..

Tena ladies even!😂

Fight fire with fire, and get her some Femfresh and Odoureaters for Christmas.
