Weird gifts 🎅🏻

[Smellybears]

Can we have a weird, crazy, strange Christmas gifts thread please?! I saw this the other day and it made me chuckle 🎅🏻🎅🏻

I got bagpipes once. I am not Scottish (more Irish) and have never expressed a desire for fucking BAG PIPES!

My mum last year got a very torn and ripped open old fashion duvet set of her mum for Christmas she was upset my other grandma on the other hand was delighted and its now on her bed

Mil bought me a snake necklace the first Christmas I knew her.
Cost £2.75.

I've got that book I'm sure it was in Christmas bargain thread a few years back . My ds loves it

Bagpipes?!

Yep I don't even know what happened to them... also got a pair of shiny silver 'UGG' boots.... they might have run off with the bagpipes to the charity shop

My parents DM once got me a necklace with a massive ganja leaf pendant on it. She had no idea what it was, just thought it was 'pretty'. I was 🙄😳😮🤔 and, er, 'lost it'. I never told her.

Thanks OP, we’ve just got guinea pigs so have ordered that book for xmas!!!!

@Brie 😁

70s might like that guinea pig nativity!

I had a spinning wheel from my Dad. No sheep and no time! Don't even knit though Id like to. Its in the loft, I daren't get rid of it because he thought he'd done so well choosing it for me, think it was quite expensive.

Spinning wheels cost a fortune I would love one 😂

Earings for pierced ears when they weren't even pierced gold earings I'm allergic to gold a drill off my sister (Which I loved actually)

I got a harmonica too my mom "lost" that one

The Oxfam website have some lovely quirky gifts. I’ll be popping into a store to pick up some bits 😊

I am JUST the sort of person who would give a big quirky expensive gift like this and think I had done so well. I will book mark the thread and read before I shop for Christmas (and take an unused large £50 djembe drum to the charity shop).

My mum has a djembe drum and loves it! I remember Oxfam doing some fab Christmas charity gifts last year, things like goat poo fertilizer etc.

I’m after weird strange quirky presents this year for friends. We have a limit of £5 😊

I'd kill for a spinning wheel.

I have a spinning wheel on my I can only wish list
And I’d be thrilled with a djembe.
But then I’m definitely a weirdo

The harmonica reminded me, my Dad got one in the extended family Kris kindle one year. He had been diagnosed with COPD and emphysema (which they all knew). A mouse would have had a better chance of getting a tune out of it.

Sprout snow globe on ASOS!

Festive toilet roll anyone?!

My grandma got me a small porcelain doll that hung (by its neck) from a metal stand. Also, a reused tin full of plasters.

My mum gave my boyfriend a superman thong, he was like em thanks? Shes an arsehole and thought she was so funny

I got a pizza stone from Step-MIL about 3 years ago. TBF we do use it was a bit random opening that under the tree :/
