Light hearted! What’s the most random Xmas present you reveived?

[MrsDoubtfire2018]

So this year, it had to be a fire blanket and car tyre valves from the in(outlaws !)😄

Bunny, Shame we can’t pick our in-laws eh?!

Washing up gloves with a floral trim on them!

Not me but my daughter was given a creepy doll it looked ok but then you wound it up and the head rolled around like the exorcist and creaked it was polystyrene rubbing together she was also bought a trauma bear sort of a cheap care bear with real fucking issues both from her great nan both left there to play with on her next visit

One to one swimming lessons

MrsDoubtfire, I wish! We like practical gifts in our family, but this was a bit too far, even for us. It was from my mum, too

Absis, creepy doll and bear sound dismal! Your poor daughter !

pagwatch, one to one swimming lessons are good?

Four candles

Owlish, sometimes I wonder if such gifts are bought with the intention of sending us a message?! 😜 Luke you don’t empty ur bins often enough or your house is a giant fire hazard?!!

Like

Beach11 That doesn’t sound too bad 😁

MaluCachu Very random! Just 4 candles? Any particular type? Or do u gave a about to be 4 year old ?!

Last year - 2 display boxes of Lindt D’Or chocolates, the kind they have at the checkout in some stores where people buy one or two as a treat. Each contained about hundred pieces. They came from amazon with no packing list or name of sender, but were addressed to me. Apparently bought and sent along with other gifts from family in the UK but no one I spoke to said they’d ordered them and I got everything else they’d ordered. DH is diabetic and there’s a limit to how many chocolates even I can eat, plus I really don’t much like Lindt D’Or, so I took them to work and put them by the coffee machines, they were gone by the end of the morning.

Exhsuatedmuch That sounds really sweet! I got something similar from a friend as I like to bake, china heart shaped measuring spoons

Very random InsightMars! Mystery generous,chocolate sender ! I suppose at least your colleagues were happy !

A reusable shopping bag with a picture of a piglet on it.

64 old shape pound coins because she couldn’t be bothered to take them to the bank herself

I'm in hospital and another patient said "happy Christmas" and threw men's socks with the days of the week on at me. Five pairs, ripped packet.

I specifically asked my ex for a very posh umbrella, you know the ones with a wooden curved handle and would make me feel like Mary Poppins? Well, I was super excited as under the tree there was an umbrella shape. Come Christmas morning and I’m still very happy I have the umbrella, but upon opening it, it was a bloody spider catcher! It was like a litter picker with bristles to catch spiders. Apparently he didn’t like buying something that i’d asked for and wanted it to be a surprise. The fact I was scared of spiders he felt was a bonus and this would help with that. What an idiot!

A 3kg bag (sack!) of giant cola bottles...

A used notebook and my brother would always wrap everyone one of those free chlamydia tests

I want a donkey foot stool!!!

Brilliant! My nan gives presents that she picks up in charity shops, they are pretty random but don't really compare to some of these.

What is the appropriate reaction to receiving a bag of pasta???

The Four candles I'm guessing relates to the Two Ronnies Four candles / fork handles, so not random,just need to have seen the Two Ronnies

Breast pump from my dad

Out of context, that could be seen as downright strange.

But I asked for it because I'm due my first baby in February
