The most ridiculous/hilarious wedding gift you have recieved

[chocolatefroggie]

I know you're not supposed to do a thread about a thread but taking inspiration from becaroo's harp shaped clock wtf, tell me about your odd/funny/ revolting wedding presents

[rockinhippy]

A beautiful silver engraved cigarette box.....neither of us have EVER smoked

& specially Sculptured Lawn Sprinkler (it was stupidly expensive too.....we not only don't have a lawn, we don't really have a Garden either

[tashk]

this is making me laugh - gotta love joke pressies!

[Cicatrice]

Not me, but my mother was given a stuffed bear.
Not a teddy, your actual full sized, dead taxidermied job.

A globe. Where the 'glitter' had all bunched together, so it looks like cum being shook all over the bridal couple inside. From my hideous sil, who I swear has it in for me. (better than the broken bracelet she got from her work's lost property box last xmas for me though)

A broken Lilliput Lane of the Sherlock Holmes pub in London that our friend had been to on a big trip the year before. It was REALLY broken too. The bus at the front of it had fallen off and the sign for the pub was mashed.

A broken Lladro from my FIL who never buys anything new. I really detest Lladro. Our particular couple are grey, dead looking and the man has to carry his hat because the glue that FIL used to stick it back together didn't work.

we had a single towel as well (several others have said this) It was from the Vicar and his wife (in case that is relevant)

Snort @ black leather tea tray. Is that for when it's getting towards 4 o'clock in the dungeon?

[resistanceisfutile]

[resistanceisfutile]

not me but my sister. she got a sex manual from my mum's boyfriend, [[ www.amazon.co.uk/New-Alex-Comfort-Susan-Quilliam/dp/1845334299/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1283619705&sr=1-1&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21 the joy of sex".

[iwantavuvezela]

ONE towel from my brother and his wife..... never worked out why only one!

[Shodan]

I think it was a fruit bowl. Or a fruit plate, or something.

It was a kind of abstract piece of etched glass, with random bits of its edges slightly turned up.

Sadly it got mislaid after the divorce and subsequent house move.

[Wanderingsheep]

A pair of rubber ducks for the bath. One is a bride and one is a groom!

Needless to say DD (3) loves them, although they don't float . She was getting frustrated with them in the bath shouting,"Grr! These stupid ducks can't swim!"

[FakePlasticTrees]

A black leather tea tray.

[nickelbabe]

oh compo! i want one!!!

i WANT ONE NOW!!!!!

[stamps feet]

[compo]

A sully from monsters Inc alarm clock

it was from a girl my dh had unreciprocated love for for four years, he loved it so double

[mamas12]

A second hand single bed.

From the mil

[nancydrewrocked]

We were bought one towel - since you're buying for a couple surely you either buy two or none?

[Marchpane]

A model of a Mini car. Neither DH or I drove then and we had zero interest in cars.

[onepieceoflollipop]

I had a box of Tesco "finest fudge". It was from a male friend. (friend of me and dh).

It was a longstanding joke between us. I gave him a box on his birthday once and he liked it and then for a few "occasions" after we exchanged boxes of this fudge. It only cost about £2

Friend came up to us as we were wandering around having photos done and really made me laugh "only the finest for your wedding day mr and mrs lollipop"

[cheaphawaiian]

We got a butter dish, which was on our 'list' - with four gift cards on.

It was from my step-father's mother; his brother and SIL and their 2 children and their spouses; my step-sister, her husband and their three children; my step-brother, his wife and their four children.

I made a point of writing to them all individually to thank them.

[AmazingBouncingFerret]

LMAO WkdSM I hope, hope, hope you sent her a thank you note telling her how delicious it was!

[nickelbabe]

good thinking by your concierge, though!

[WkdSM]

First time around - a used tin opener - I knew it was used because there was rotting food on the cutter bit that goes round (very technical I know). It was from his side of the family. Nuff said.

Second time around - DH's ex sent a dead fish to our home address (a flat) to arrive on the wedding day - obviously meant to sit there for 2 weeks stinking the place out. Fortunately we had a concierge who signed for the fish and put it in his freezer. When we got back from honeymoon we told him he cound keep it and he said it was delicious!!

[bottyburpthebarbarian]

When I got married to the now Ex-mrbottyburp we got a pillow. One single pillow.

From his brother.

who was best man.

[Fimbo]

Think it may have been a pendelfin rabbit, can't really remember.

[notasize10yetbutoneday]

A turquoise plate with our names and the date on it in pink writing, with a cartoon of a bride and groom. It is in the loft.
