What is the weirdest gift you ever got - GTKY

Stealing from karen3337's post about baby perfume - what is the most bizarre/inappropriate/confusing gift you have ever received?
For Christmas the year I was twelve my aunt gave me a pair of 10" Mikasa crystal candle holders and a bulk size box of nature valley Granola bars. Individually maybe not that odd - but together - and for a 12 year old?

Re: What is the weirdest gift you ever got - GTKY
As a wedding gift I got a dish that on the bottom of it said to not put food in it.... What am I supposed to do with that?!
Another wedding gift was a set of casserole dishes from 1969... no joke, that was the manufacturing date on the box. I've regifted those to my little brother who lives in a frat house.
Nothing too crazy for me...other than dh's mom decided someone should have a snowglobe collection, and she picked me. i got them 5 years in a row for christmas and then one for easter as well.
Dh got some odd christmas gifts from his aunt
one year he got an air freshner ( you know the trees you hang in your car) and then a couple years later he got a hot wheels car...oh an he was 20.
A co-worker bought me a teddy bear beanie baby that was red with a Mexican Flag on it's chest as a going away gift. She said she bought it "because of my Mexican heritage"..... I am not Hispanic.....
For Easter my Dad gave me a multi purpose tool for the car. It is a hammer, scissor, flashlght combo. He said, well it's to break a window, cut a seatbelt, pop an airbag etc.. for if you ever careen off a cliff or bridge and need to get out of your vehicle.
Nice to know he thinks of me right?
For our wedding: one homemade potholder by itself in a bag with no name, with initial "N" on it. Our last name does not start with N. Neither do either of our first names.
For my birthday from an ex boyfriend: A ton of Cleveland Browns women's apparel. I am from Detroit and am not a follower of the NFL in any respect.
For my baby shower: Pool toys for the baby. We don't have a pool or live near a beach. My baby was born in January. Weird!
O..m..g.... Why!?
My very well-meaning dad gave me a stun gun because I work in a big city. I was so scared of that thing I never even took it out of the box and would not take it home. I don't even know if they are legal!
O.M.G. I think you win this round! Hands down.
Oh! Thank you for reminding me... MIL gave DH and I a handheld stun gun with a flashlight on the other end. The problem is, if we have an intruder....One of us will need to be an arms length away from his to stun them...
WOW! Thats creepy!
My family is pretty good I guess... Only weird thing I got was from my grandmother... A giant box of Maxi pads and Feminine wash... Gee Thanks Grams!
Not really weird, but funny.
DH's parent's neighbors gave us a Margarita set for our wedding.
When we opened it there was a card addressed to someone else! (and it wasn't from them).
I'm guessing their Daughter or Son got married and received a gift they didn't want so they passed it forwards. Lesson learned, always check what you're regifting and who you're regifiting it too.

This post had me laughing hysterically. My gma liked to give me underwear (white, granny panties 3 sizes too big) and deodorant every single time she gave me a present, growing up. Now it's usually canned foods, lots and lots of newspaper clippings, body wash and deodorant.
My other grandma (hurray for nutty grandparents) always gave me barbie dolls, every Christmas, until I was 20. I just collected them all and they are still at the other grandma's house, who decided it was necessary to hang them up on the wall in her bathroom. I never realized how incredibly strange that was until I just typed it out. haha
Oh my gosh, these posts are hilarious.
Allisonmarie- WOW haha you win:)
The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is a cracked mug that said "MARRY CHRISTMAS"....from one of my 3rd graders. So am I supposed to marry Christmas?
I should add it was a store-bought mug, not anything homemade.
Haha I bet they got a good discount on that!!
Ew Ew Ew Ew Ew.. he is SO inappropriate!! If my parents were that open with their sex life I think I might die!! You win this post for sure, hun. All of these posts were hilarious, though!
