Someone gave me disposable carseat liners. Do they know me at all? I didn't even know these existed...and for me? At least give it to the kids, not me...not that anyone wants these.

Anyone else get any WTF gifts?

    What is a carseat liner?  Do I want to know?  Is it like the chair pad that the hospital gives you PP?

    The IL's haven't mailed anything yet so I'll find out next week if there's any wtf gifts in there.....

    wow. is there a chance they were actually regifted? that sounds like something I'd try to pawn off on someone else.

    i'm still mad about the stupid record-your-voice book we got where the gift giver refused to record the thing himself.

    This--for blowouts!  lol

    My mom--who is inexplicably broke all the time, all of a sudden, works at a casino, makes me wonder...--sent only one gift, to DD, which was a stuffed horse with a Wells Fargo tag on it.  In other words, it was some free thing.  I'm not even sure they have Wells Fargo in rural CO where she lives.  It was super insulting for some reason.  I guess I just "wtf?!" over my mom in general.  Sigh.

    Nothing that I can think of for me, although someone gave DS (who is 2) a You are #1 bib that is HUUUUUUGE.  Homemade, but not really in a fun way....  I'm afraid...

    Maybe it's a clown bib?

    Nice to see you today, papa!

    DH 'won' a white elephant gift from our friends of Kangaroo Jerky (they'd recently come back from Australia).  Ishy!

    ETA:  DH did not eat it.

    I'd eat weird jerky just to say that I had.

    I got a boatload of Nightmare Before Christmas stuff.  I *love* NBC but... I didn't really want all of my gifts to be NBC, kwim?  This is what happens when people don't know what else to get you and know you collect certain things.

    I got a walmart gift card from MIL.... I have bashed walmart and thier employee practices so many times and how I would never support them and she knows this so I don't understand why she would get me a gift card there. I gave it to DH to bring in to work (he works at a group home) and I know they can use it

    I got a 35mm camera, like from a yard sale, from DH's gma one year.

    The next she gave me a 30 year brown, orange & yellow afghan. Then showed me a picture of it on her couch from the 80s. Hm...

    My dads mom gave me checkers or chess every year for my birthday and Christmas for YEARS and years. Like I had mini sets, travel sets, full size sets. It was getting crazy.

    Finally my mom let me thin them down to my favorite ones. Yes, I had to keep all of those sets for years too.
