Weirdest thing you've wrapped up for your kids?

[DorothyCannoli]

Or anyone really I suppose!

I've just wrapped up a massive (800g I think) bottle of Heinz ketchup for my kid! We've had to cut costs recently and have been trying various own brands (of which none come close to the real thing so far, according to DS) so I thought I'd treat him for Xmas. Don't worry he has some proper gifts too 😂

What's the oddest thing you've found yourself wrapping up?

I am about to wrap a very large jar of pickled gherkins - those huge ones you get in fish and chip shops. My 3 year old insisted that we get it for DH for Christmas!

Mango chutney

Milk frothed

Milk frother

A six foot blow up dinosaur. It was such a pita to wrap. 😂

Blue Tac
A coconut
Nail clippers

Well, it's wrapped up now!

Are you my dh? I got one of these one Christmas!

I had forgotten that we bought one for ds (now, nearly 11) when he was a toddler at Christmas too! 😂

Jar of pickled eggs. Dc was 4, they were his favourite gift

Currently wrapping a coconut in a pillow for my DH, that my DD3 has insisted is her gift to Daddy!

We have no idea where this idea came from, but she's more excited for this than she is her own presents 🥰

Bird seed
selection box of face flannels
the silicone washing up sponges
blu tak

A small pedal bin for his bedroom. My youngest requested it when he was around 5. I have no idea why he wanted one so badly but was over the moon he got one 😂

A deep fat fryer and a massive sack of potatoes
a red balloon
a tin opener
a blue scarf
A bunny rabbit pet on a lead

all requested by the kids

my mother bought my brother a straight jacket,top hat and a unicycle one year

i have a weird family

Ha ds is getting a bottle of mayonnaise having recently discovered it

3 year of stood in front of Santa and asked for a Cucumber for Xmas - nothing else, even refused to take the gift offered by Santa

3 bottles of washing up liquid when my boys were about 5. For making potions in the garden!

Oh these are all so great! I'd forgotten about blu-tac, I've put it in my DS's stocking before too!

High five dorothycannoli !

Oops that was for the ketchup but it was many years ago

My step father once felt brave and along with my brother they wrapped up a new ironing board for my mother - to replace the 15 year old wonky and fairly useless one she was using. The rule for gifts has always been something you don't need but wanted - it was genuinely hilarious and you could tell how nervous they both were handing over a very obvious wrapped up ironing board. My mother had the last laugh as she promptly made sure my step father paid for an expensive new iron - he didn't quite see that bit coming 😂🤪

We did blue tac one year.

a vintage wood and rubber toilet plunger!
a used one? 😳

Completely missing the point of the thread- but aren't all tape measures retractable?

A pair of crutches. Don't ask me why but my daughter begged for them!!

A tractor magazine (like auto trader for tractors). Guarantee it will be his favourite present.
