Mil once bought us all a jar of body chocolate which was a bit iffy in itself but then she proceeded to say "don't spread it on your toast, I bought it to spice up your love life, you are supposed to spread it on your private parts and get the other person to lick it off".

I got some really good presents from DP but also a fridge magnet (Hmm) with a picture of a rhinoceros on, 'Because that's the look you get on your face when I've done something wrong'.

When I was in my mid-20s I was given a Pingu video by my on/off boyfriend/best friend (can't remember the state of our relationship at the time, but we were generally very close). Apparently it was because I "loved Pingu so much". I had never/still have never expressed any interest in Pingu whatsoever Hmm

scentednappyhag · 27/12/2011 20:47

Hazie- bought you 'all'?! Sounds like your sex life us interesting enough Wink

God I am shrieking at these.
Priceless!!

MeltedAdventCalendarChocolates · 27/12/2011 20:57

haha, these are brilliant! have to say I did very well this year.

When I was a 15 year old metalhead/goth my aunt gave me a set of pink make up... that was clearly for a very small girl who would be 'dressing up' with it!

I asked for, and recieved, an avocado knife this year.

For my birthday a couple of weeks ago DH bought me an angora scarf. I am allergic to angora Hmm I marched him round town and showed him all sorts of things I would like for Christmas. He took the hint and I am now the proud owner of a lovely bag.

kickingking · 27/12/2011 21:22

A knitting set from DH.

I don't want to knit. I have been bought several of these type of gift sets in the past from well meaning aunties, and have sent them to the charity shop. He knows this.

I am pretty pissed off with him over that actually.

smackapacca · 27/12/2011 21:28

thenightsky yes, that's pretty near the beginning. You are still seething though so let it all out :o

mmmmmchocolate · 27/12/2011 21:53

Ohhhhh I just remembered! A few years back I received from a relative of DP's an old lady string of 'pearls' plastic beads and a headscarf. I was about 26 at the time.

This year when MIL brought the gift around from her I popped it on the side and said I'd open it later so I didn't have to fake a reaction and she had got me a lovely purse which was funky and very 'me' and all my cards fit in. Felt a bit bad.....

SkinnyWhiteBoy · 27/12/2011 22:08

From SiL last year:
A teacup emblazoned with a picture of a computer mouse wearing a pair of glasses, and the words "It's not that I'm always right, I'm just never wrong", A packet of tissues printed with zebra stripes, in a zebra stripe printed plastic sleeve, a weed strange box with two different storage compartments, only big enough for drugs the last item: a small badge of a squirrel, with integrated LEDs that flashes brightly on a random pattern.

cantthinkof1 · 27/12/2011 22:12

My MIL got me scented clothes hangers and a necklace I'm sure I gave her a couple of years ago!

HotBurrito1 · 27/12/2011 22:15
