What is the weirdest thing your LO got for Christmas?

RoosterWrangler · December 2013

My future FIL gave DS a gigantic wooden zebra giraffe thing. We don't know where to put it so its living in the bathroom for now. LOL.

That shit is creepy. Do you have a jungle theme or something that would make him think, "hmmm PERFECT Christmas purchase!" Ridiculous!!

aml8979 · December 2013

That's amazing! And you have the cutest baby

Nope, no jungle theme! It doesn't match anything in the house. Lol. Oh well. Maybe he'll like it when he's older...?

Thank you!

DS1, who is 2, got an electronic game for ages 8 and up.

bermybabe68 · December 2013

Not weird but she received a whole lot of 'baby's first Christmas' ornaments! She lucked out though and received a lot of lovely gifts and nothing lame or tacky.

magdalina.h · December 2013

Nothing weird for her. He got a ton of 3t size clothes... He wears 24m and some 2T. Did I mention that he wears sizes for close to a year?

Three separate people gave him tiny ceramic coffee mugs.

Because babies totally drink coffee??

We don't have family Christmas parties until tomorrow - Sunday, so nothing...yet!

Skalbrecht · December 2013

Nothing weird yet, but we haven't gotten out gift from mil...

In the same boat here....I never know what weird thing MIL is going to find.

VitaLuna · December 2013

A Dr. Seuss book in French (I don't speak or read French, nor does anyone in my family).

ejb23 · December 2013

A plastic purse chew toy, size 0-3 hats (dd has been out of 0-3 for over a month), and a 2t sweater (from same person).

thedash · December 2013

It's not that weird but my mom sent a Christmas outfit for DD in size 6-9 month.

VitaLuna · December 2013

I got a short sleeve Christmas outfit in 18mo size, too. People are odd.

smlowe9311 · December 2013

Oh that reminded me! I got some Christmas outfits from a family friend that are 12 months. They'll fit next year...lol. Also I know she is too little to open them but I found it odd that my parents did wrap any of LOs gifts.

Ntymec · December 2013

Lily got an IPad cover.

elishabelle · December 2013

MIL gave me some pirate ceramic thing to put on LO's wall in his room. It doesn't match what I have going on right now AT ALL…grrr…SIL also bought him prints that are very baby cutesy 1982. His room has grey walls and all of the art work is bright and more modern…sigh.

EMLYNNLERETTE · December 2013

We really lucked out on not getting strange gifts (so far!) this year. My mom is a wacko so we'll see what she sent when it comes on Friday. She kept telling me the stuff for DS was for 'the baby.' Like she doesn't know his name or something!? She has never met him yet, so I think she forgot! Weird. SIL got DD a giant tent. Thanks SIL. I wasn't planning on walking in my living room anymore anyway.

She knows better!

Ash1103 · December 2013

My grandmom gave my daughter a Noah's ark ornament with the year 2012 on it!, we all laughed and since she can't hear well had no idea why. I told her that it said 2012 & she replied "yes, it's her first christmas" we all informed her that it was 2013 and she was like " oh well, she was conceived on 2012". WHAT!

HBirdie · December 2013

No odd Christmas presents (yet), but after Caleb was born, a friend got us a gift for him but had to give it to DH's parents to give to us, and when we opened it (in front of them), they decided they liked it and that it was a "toy for grandma and grandpa's house." It's a neat little pull toy but apparently we aren't allowed to take it home. Because "he's going to need fun toys to play with when he comes over here!" WTF. I don't feel like it's their right to decide it stays there, but I had no idea what to say! Now I feel like it's too late.

rachelstauf · December 2013

DS got an adult sized hooded towel that is bright pink with an orange peace sign. We still have 3 more family get togethers, so who knows what else we'll get!

PumpkinMommaaa · December 2013

We got a baby lap top that makes noise and sings. She probably won't use that for a few months. A teddy bear that does a bunch of things for 6mo+ and we got a TON of 12 mo clothes.

Dr Seuss is already too hard to read in English!

jennajoybeck · December 2013

A tooth brush and toothpaste set (mot the finger one). Yes, she is working on her first tooth....but it took me by surprise.

ginamarie1005 · December 2013

My ILs got LO 18 mo+ toys and a used sled (all scratched and dusty). Oh, and they got me cheese. :-/

blondii428 · December 2013

Nothing weird but I think the most unique gift we got was from DH's step-grandmother. It's a kit to make your baby's handprint into an ornament. I think it's cute!

michaelaelaine01 · December 2013

Baby food, lots of it. My MIL really wants me to stop EBFing so she can feed LO. And she is trying to convince me to "just buy canned baby food because it's easier" because I mentioned that I plan on making my own baby food. That may be true, but let me make that decision myself.

Ugh, annoying. I'd donate it and never mention it to her.

Skalbrecht · December 2013

A toothbrush and toothpaste isn't weird to me, because we always had a tooth brush in our stocking. Just stand alone that does seen strange.

Lots of dentists in the family???

llybeck · December 2013

This. I'm not really sure what it is... a frog man thing? It's really big and rubbery and it squeaks, I think it might be a dog toy. I'm not being ungratefuland DD may end up loving it, it's just such a strange face and my dog is terrified of it! DD isn't too fond of it either, right now, lol

MIL got DS1 a tent too. She had it set up in the middle of the living room, but we moved it to the basement living room pretty quickly. That night one of our cats peed in it... lovely. At least it gave us an excuse not to leave it up all the time like MIL wanted.

@EMLYNNLERETTE got any cats?

DS2 got a winter hat that doesn't even come down to the top of his ears and shoes that are newborn size.

I am laughing so hard at my desk that there are tears in my eyes. I think the bolded is what got me. And I agree it appears to be a dog toy.

That is seriously creepy looking. I think Goodwill might need one.

I can't stop looking at it. The frog man thing has me in tears, I can't breath! Your dog being afraid is a sign.

llybeck · December 2013

Haha, right?! Thank goodness the frog man thing was a present we brought home and opened, I'm not sure what we would have done if we had to open it in front of the person who gave it to us!

Wake me Willy. It's an alarm clock. Why would my three month old need an alarm clock? She *IS* my alarm clock.

katiebenes · January 2014
