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

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

Yep Hmm 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.

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.

abbsisspartacus · 30/07/2018 13:38

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 Confused a drill off my sister (Which I loved actually)

abbsisspartacus · 30/07/2018 13:39

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).

Smellybears · 01/08/2018 08:14

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.

Alanamackree · 01/08/2018 22:30

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.

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