I got a big sack of that instant waffle-making powder.
Everyday, for those next two weeks, I made waffles in the morning.
I was so excited that I slept early (unusual) and woke up at 6:25-6:30 AM to make waffles for everybody. My mom was woken up the first by the sssweeet smell of wafflez, but still scolded me.
Why she scolded me is unknown. But the rest of my family didn't really care; they'd just come over and eat wafflez.
The whole experience was weird, I guess. And by the way, who gives someone a sack of waffle-powder as a gift?

It's not weird depending on point of view. My mom gave me $500 towards an $800 doll... and I'm 26. =w= Very nice peice of art. Cast with resin and painted to order. :) I love him to death!

Ahahahaha, I get a lot of weird gifts so it's hard to recall them. One in particular that popped in my head when I read the subject was...a disposable camera. lol My mom's husband's brother and wife gave me a disposable camera. At the time I loved it, but looking back at it now I just think, "...WTF?..."

Reading through this thread made me giggle. XD

One of my aunts has a long history of being a really bad gift giver at Christmas, except when she gives jewelery (provided you're a girl, if you're a boy you're screwed). Like she always picks out nice jewelery but other than that it gets a bit odd and very age inappropriate.

When I was 13 or so I received Reader Rabbit 2, I'm an avid reader and I think I probably should have been insulted to get something meant for a second grader, but I had by this point come to expect this of her. XD

She also got me a Princess Calendar and this was after my first year of university.

Her worse, in some ways gift giving year was the year she decided it was a brilliant idea to give me a small (tiny) pocket knife with my full name engraved on it, so there was no way to get rid of it. On one sense it wasn't bad because I was already well into highschool at the time I got it.

Unfortunately she had to give the same gift to my sibling who is eight and a half years younger than me, and I had to have been around 17 when I got it. So an eight more or less year old got a pocket knife for Christmas. A small one, but one still.

Mom took it, I don't know if she ever gave it back XD.

Well so far the weirdest gift I've ever received is a gift certificate for a clothes shop. WHICH WAS OUT OF BUSINESS ALREADY.

I guess the weirdest gift I got were magazines for plants and Cosmo, and a pink shirt. When my family knows I'm "goth" and know I don't care for popular things like Cosmo.

The very first thing that comes to mind:

A Bible.

I'm religious, but I'm not Christian or anything. And for the most part, I think I'm very clear about that. I don't speak out against Christianity or anything, nor would I, but neither do I ever talk about god except when I'm speaking emphatically about something. It was just a really odd gift. I appreciate it all the same, though. People quote the Bible all the time without actually reading it, so it would be good to have a decent education on the subject, should I have to talk about it or anything.

Other than that... a small figurine of a cat covered in rabbit fur.

Yea when I was younger people knew I liked bubble baths and such so people gave me a lot of that stuff for my birthday. It kind of made me think I smelled when more than 5 people gave me bubble bath. Also my x-boy friend last Christmas he got 10 bottles of axe body wash lots of axe shampoo and axe body spray and deodorant. He didn't smell or anything but it seemed like people thought he did or something.

For my thirteenth birthday, one of my best friends at the time
got me a light bulb and a pocket bible as a gag gift.

I'm not even religious.
Dx

I do want!
I have so many dusty places in my room that are too small to fit a vaccuum in.

Man, i dont know. I think a packet of bandaids.. but it had a gift voucher in.

My mom and Ray gave me a book (Scarlett: The sequel to Gone with the Wind) that had a bunch of pages cut out. But there was a DS in there, so it was okay.
They've also given me a can crusher (which was useful, since I crush the 90 billion cans we have) and a rock.
A big, grey rock.
My grandpa got me a ruler for my birthday. It's pretty, and the wood smells good, but I have a ruler...
My grandma got me a Hannah Montana jacket about 2 sizes too small. We traded it for an alarm clock. (Its a square one that has little arms and eyes. I want the lamp that it can 'talk' to)
My grandpa gave my sister a set of beige-floral oven mitts and hand towels.

I recieved fake buck teeth from my uncle.....weird right?

One time my grandfather gave me
kiddie toys. You know, like, miniature
and colorful guitars and whatnot.
Even though I was like,.. 13.

For one of my birthdays, I got this paper-mache elephant figure from my Grandpa. I don't know what he was thinking but it was really ugly and I don't really have anything to do with elephants. Now it's shoved in some cupboard.

When I was younger my grandma would get me some sort of doll every year for Christmas. By doll, I mean the porcelain ones that may of may not watch you as you walk by. Sometimes the dolls were, admittedly, on the cuter side of creepy, but one year she gave me one that was sitting while holding a book. I think that the book was removable and even came with extras. The colours of the books and doll were very bright, child's wooden block-status. I tried really hard not to have a jaw drop while she was looking over my shoulder.

Weirdest gift I ever received was a set of hentai dvds the first time I hung out with my current boyfriend. Hes a strange one, but he knows me all too well!

All my cats bring normal things like birds or mice etc...

Only if they come in the garden, as my cats ain't allowed out of the garden.

BUT my little kitty saw a mouse walk past her the other day, took 1 look at it walked away, and bought me a huge piece of moss that had dried in the sun!!! LOL...

Then broke it up all over the floor! xD

For christmas my mom bought me this audiobook called Skinny Bitch. It was the most horrid thing ever. It has there skinny chicks insultling you for four hours like

Get your fat ass off the couch and for a fucking walk! I was like geeze thanks mom.

The weirdest gift I have ever gotten definately had to come from my ex-husband. When I was twenty we had been going out for a few months when suddenly valentines day (and my birthday) had swung round so rather than buy me two gifts he decided to combine them both so I got given a gold fish that was in a heart shape bowl that had my name engraved into it, my name was spelt wrong but it was still a pretty sweet gift. Though I did have to give the fish back to his neice.

I got a box of sushi band-aids and a plastic jesus night light, Jesus melted while plugged into the wall and then caught fire....stupid Jesus.

I got a box of condoms on my sixteenth birthday. It was from my ex.
And guess what I got this year?
Yes, a box of maxi-pleasure condoms with little bumps on it XD
It was part of a summer survival box.
I got a bunch of stickers, sunflower seeds to plant and a tooth brush of Jip en Janneke* and facial creme which smells awedully sweet. All stuffed in an over colored small kids suitcase also with Jip en Janneke.
