To ask what is the strangest prezzie you got?

[calamityboo]

My mil got me a panda onesy and a parrot that is also a doorbell!

His and hers watches from in laws mine doesnt fit and i dont wear a watch havent for years and dh's broke as soon as he tried to set the time plus he already has a watch and only likes digitals these were normal ones and dh struggles with them due to his dyslexia

I'm struggling to think of anything more undesirable than his n hers watches chosen by the PiLs

An 'antique' letter opener from Past Times (cost £4) (I know the cost doesn't matter but it was from my DM and she built it up so much I was convinced it would be something good)
Perfume every year from my DB - I'm allergic to all perfumes.

But my favourite was an engagement pressie from DM - a massive carved candle. The carving was two people doing it. Cos that's appropriate, thanks mum.

I know wasnt too impressed nor was dh esp as it broke!cant even wear mine as it doesnt fit only been in family 16yrs! Last yr i got wine set i dont drink wine much only with xmas day meal and i cant stand blossom hill and they got me a set with 4 bottles of the stuff in it! Yuk

A china faced doll from my nan, they have always freaked me out so much that when I visited her I would stay out the kitchen as she had 30 of them in her room

Hooting at shagging couple candle.
Did your mother realsie?

Oooh - must correct my earlier post.....not a water pump but a 'water system gauge' which was sent in my honour to a needy community in Peru. My mistake.

Oh aye moon she thought it was appropriate. We just moved house after 10 yrs recently and it was found in the loft. Much hootage abounded.

Also it was a foot high. Hard not to notice....

Barking.

A grow a new set of teeth set. Off my DM and it was my only present. I nearly cried

stargazer, How the ...? What the ...?

For real, stargazer? Link?

DH got a pack of dairylea triangles and a pack of mini cheddars from an elderly relative.

I got a packet of Pringles from a work colleagues cat! I win the award for strangest present and present giver!

Arf, Hex. I bet someone suggested to them that "some cheeses" would make a nice gift!

My mum recieved a baby boa constrictor.

My mate and I send each other the weirdest shit we can find each year. This also extends to my OH. This year, amongst other tat, she sent him a sample pack of these: www.fellaswipes.com/ - basically they're knob wipes!

Oh gosh totally not unreasonable shiregirl, how ridiculous! Presumably he knows all about your excema too? What a bloody thoughtless gift! on your behalf

LOL Vivi, yes I think that was probably the case. Mind you, she is totally batty and random.

I have a draught excluder covered in rats Yorkshire terriers with bows on their heads. T'was a semi serious pressie- I had mentioned the breeze under the front door. However I am not a dog fan, and the smaller they get, the less I like them.

Friendship will survive, dogs will be kicked into place

A cheap plastic gold coloured carriage clock from BiL. I live (or try) a minimalist life... no oriements etc.

I have known this BiL and his Mrs for, ooh, at leaast 20 years

Admittedly, this wasn't a gift this year, but the strangest gift I ever got was from my Dsis who has a habit of buying presents from charity shops or from ebay. This doesn't bother me as long as the gift is carefully chosen.

However, on this occasion she got me a photo frame/clock thing. On closer inspection it had been someone's 30 years service gift from Shell Oil as it said so on the face of the clock. It was also engraved with their name. It was also chipped and broken in one corner.

A gift set from my DB incorporating a big 125 ml bottle of perfume and body lotion in Yardley English Lavender. Im 38!!!
