Can I start a strangest or most random or inappropriate Christmas present you've received this year?

[DIngdongmerryilyonhigh]

I gave my next door neighbour, a single man in his 50"s, a pannetoni and a nice card because I like him and value having a good neighbour. I don't expect anything in return. He's just knocked and given me a jar of raspberry jam. Not a homemade jam. Not a luxury boozey type jar of jam. Not a National Trust type jar of jam. It's a bog standard, everyday jar of 79p jam from the co-op 😊

I've also received a joint Christmas present for my baby and toddler from a relative, a £20 voucher for pizza express.

Anyone else?

My friend bought her sister a burial plot a few years ago...

My grandmother often gives me a tin of ham for Christmas and a pack of mince pies

When I was about 26 my mum bought me a posh green boxed bottle all in French / beauty product speak of the kind that means nothing to me (no make up, no skin care regime sort). I opened it, smiled politely, nodded and was a bit bemused.

My sister explained to me later (a) it was designer spot gel and (b) it cost £60. I was both gutted and offended and every time I looked at it all I could see was the DVDs, books and cds I’d have loved and didn’t have the money to buy myself.

My adult acne was pretty terrible that year to be fair. And the year after I got a three month membership to Slimming World online.

My mum genuinely means well, but yeah :/

From the PIL years ago... a box of chocolates (already opened, two missing) and some free beauty samples you get from Boots.

My 3 ds (4yo, 2yo & 15week old) had their Christmas present from their grandparents (dh parents) yesterday. They all got towels, not kids character towels or personalised towels, just bog standard blue bath towels. We have bath towels, the kids have kids towels I font know what they were thinking. They are crap at gifts though ds1 once received pink princess knickers from them. That is just the beginning of rubbish presents.

A physiotherapy session from a then boyfriend. I have a complex disability and had an amazing specialist neurological NHS Physio at the time, which he knew

Epilator from sil, unboxed which made me think she forgot a present and gave me her epilator, i never used it

DD's girlfriend gave her a used roll of metallic sellotape and a bar of Lidl chocolate. DD has bought her a beautiful silver bracelet and expensive chocolates (gf hasn't opened her presents from DD yet). It's their first Christmas together and DD is a bit heartbroken bless her

My dd1 got a pair of baby Mickey Mouse pjs in a size 18-23 months for her first Christmas from her aunt. My sister is currently using them for my nephew now 🤣
My dd2 was 5 months old (3months corrected) last Christmas and her uncle bought her a toy 3 years and up. It’s still in the box 🤣 bless him as the thought was there but you’d think DMIL would have helped him out a wee bit and by the third niece/nephew he would know something for a three year old isn’t going to be suitable for a 5 month old 🤣
DMIL got me a 50p pack of cotton balls for Xmas 2 years ago... we’d spent a fortune on her. My BILs girlfriend got urban decay makeup and shopping vouchers

When I was a teenager my grandma got me a box of envelopes..not cards and envelopes just envelopes...I thought that was bad until I saw she got my boyfriend a shoe horn 😂

TheBlueMeanies I'm not following why you couldn't use the pyjamas for your DD unless I'm missing something. Wouldn't you just wait until she'd grown into them?

I was once given some opened and slightly used bottles of nail varnish.

Argh double post ^

I don't understand what's wrong with food as Xmas presents. And I'm not one of the po-faced cunts brigade. It's useful.

My friends "D"p once bought her! I kid you not!
A toilet seat!
She laughed thinking he'd say "joke" and produce real present.
He didnt, arsehole, soon exp of friend.
She was so upset, she cried.

I would have but her nanny kept them. My daughter was the first girl in 34 years in my OHs family so there was a big massive kick up about how it was a totally inappropriate gift. I’m glad I’m not the only one who didn’t see a problem (I meant to add that part in with my original post 😆) ... they weren’t too happy at her wearing boys paw Patrol pjs a few weeks ago.

A pair of antique life-size blackamoor heads. From my then-boyfriend who didn't understand why I found them offensive. I dumped him soon after.

This Princess Michael business has brought the memory back.

TheBlueMeaniesAreComing
So her aunt bought her pj 's which were too big. There was a huge kick off. Her Man took them instead and now your nephew has them? Yeah that is weird

Ah that makes more sense TheBlueMeanies!

SeaRabbit I'm sure princess Michael would be happy to have yours if you don't want them, though I'm guessing you don't still have them...

From an Aung on the basis I like nutella . A partially used jar of chocolate body paint to have on my toast

My aunt, who lived on the other side of the world and hadn't seen me since I was six, sent me a bra for Christmas when I was fourteen. She didn't ask about sizes. I am still waiting to grow into it.
