Help me understand this gift?!?

[ClaryFray]

I had to share this because it was hilarious.

My aunt is a strange one, this year she bought my Gran a gift bag. We all opened them around tree (aunt not here, having dropped gifts earlier)

My Gran opens her present and pulls out a jumper, lovely. A gift card for primark. Ace. And then... this is where it gets odd, two tins of John west's tuna in spicy sauce?

I mean wtf?!?

Anyone?!? Is this a new craze I'm in aware off?

Is your Gran a massive fan of spicy tuna?

I'm assuming by your puzzled question that your gran isn't a fan of said tuna?

Maybe gran said once 'ooh I love that John West tuna in spicy sauce'.

Bet gran wishes she said 'ooh I love minstrels'

Maybe she hasn't seen your gran since harvest festival and wanted to make up for it?

I’m guessing your aunt has spent the last few days wondering where the spicy tuna she bought has got to 😂😂

Sorry but I am giggling reading this..

she put it in there to carry it in from the car and forgot where she put it.

Was the tuna wrapped?

Nope it wasn't wrapped.

My aunt gets shopping for my Gran about once a week, and there's usually some for of John west's item on the list. V. Odd.

Aunt hasn't mentioned missing tuna.

I'm perplexed... lol.

Definitely a random misplace.

Aunt is now just about to reveal Christmas Day evening exciting sandwiches in her house & is having a cold sweat.

I know what happened. She wa carrying the gift in its bag and also other stuff including tuna for whatever reason. Hands were full so she used gift bag to cart more than gift to wherever. She took out extra items but forgot tuna.

Your aunts buffet is missing the much loved 'Tuna Pasta a la Mexicana'.
Christmas has been ruined.

Tuna is very exciting, but spicey tuna is on another level. A Christmassy level. Wow what a gift.

@Moose
Got it one!!!
Yup ....part
Of their shopping in with presents.

Poor tuna. It thought it was going to be welcomed but got the 'wtf' look....

I'm not convinced it was a misplaced item.

I have a similar relative who gives out random gift bags. Another relative of mine received tins of spam and some of those single serve marmalade packets alongside the more 'normal' gifts!

My cousin was once unwrapping her present from her mum and found amongst it a pair of scissors. Her mum had lost them mid present-wrapping session and spend aaages looking for them 😂

Knowing my aunt how I know her it isn't a mistake. She once collected all the shampoo bottles and soup from the hotels she'd stayed in for the year, (even 'borrowing' some off the cleaning trolly') and those have appeared in a gift bag a year before.

It's a bit odd.

Some people are just odd and buy weird presents! My daughter got a present yesterday with a tag with Happy Birthday written on it (her birthday is in July). Other presents from same person all said Merry Christmas on the tags (we are assuming that our dear family friend had some kind of brain fart when writing out the labels and wasn't intending me to keep my daughter's gift for the next 7 months).

When I was a child I had a relative that used to send really odd gifts: she gave my mum an empty bottle of perfume and sent me a mini christmas stocking with 28p in shiny 2 pence pieces because I loved shiny coins - (when I was three), but the stocking and coins were given to me when I was twelve. Even though it was 1988 I would have been hard pushed to buy much with 28p. (other than a tin of tuna, maybe?!)

Is she someone who has a budget and buys random extras to make sure she's spent the same on everyone?
