Strange Gifts
 
http://i.imgur.com/6j2SfAW.jpg

Now that the holidays have started or are nearly upon us, did anyone give or receive something just really really strange???


I got a stun-gun ring from my in-laws, in pink of course.

One year I got 2 water guns from a customer.
I haven't really gotten anything strange yet this year.
I guess the strange one last year was a bottle of soy sauce from my brother's girlfriend, but it was cool because it was Hello Kitty.

*ponders* hmm not really. Then again I'm kinda strange so maybe they're just normal for me.

*Hime* 12-25-2016 05:22 PM

Hmm, not really.
I got a mini teranium with plastic grass and animals for my desk. That was about the strangest thing I guess.

Shadami 12-25-2016 06:27 PM

I didn't get much at all so there wasn't anything weird

Kory 12-25-2016 07:42 PM

The weirdest gift I ever received was knitting needles and yarn.
I think it was weird because I was like 5, and I had no interest in knitting.

And I gifted this to myself

~LONGCAT~ 12-25-2016 10:53 PM

That is a really nice gift to yourself Gizzy!!

Shadami 12-26-2016 03:15 AM

oh not just this year gifts? weirdest gift i've gotten.. uhhh... hmmmm.. idk my family is usually pretty thoughtful with their gifts. i suppose the tool set My step dad in law got me last year. Most of the tool set was useless to me cause i don't need the very specialized tools in it, and he got in for me because if he got multiple sets he got a huge discount. same with the tablet he got me that died in a month cause it was crap.

Just thought of another odd gift that I got one year.
Miscreant still laughs when he looks at them, my Aunt got me a pair of earrings that could be used as fishing tackle.
All you would need to do was attach them to some fishing line.

xuvrette 12-26-2016 05:07 AM

Stun gun rings? I am interested to know...

Kirin Rosenbaum 12-26-2016 12:22 PM

Not really. I guess some people would find my box of adult coloring stuff strange. But I don't. Oh and I got the hockey jersey I wanted. Some people might find a girl wanting that strange.

Dottie Mae Evans 12-26-2016 12:48 PM

I don't know if this is considered an odd gift...

I was riding the Metrobus on Christmas Eve, then a guy came on the bus with a box of makeup. He handed the box to me and I picked out a nail polish for my great aunt. He then handed me a few other random makeup items plus some gloves. That was nice of him. [:D] I offered him an unopened bottle of water but he refused it. Oh well, that was a nice delight this Christmas season. [heart]

Shadami 12-26-2016 05:35 PM

i don't really see any of these gifts as strange. xD though it is strange to have a random stranger come up and offer you makeup xD but the gift itself isn't strange. and who doesn't love coloring books? xD

Fishing lure earrings is always a little odd. Although I've bought earrings to be used in fishing lures before XD

That was really sweet of him , definitely in the holiday spirit!

Shadami 12-26-2016 10:21 PM

i think that fishing lure earrings sounds rather awesome. xD not like i.. didn't just have the character in my story use her anchor shapped earrings as a fish hoook....

Kirin Rosenbaum 12-26-2016 10:24 PM

You guys are awesome.

Shadami 12-26-2016 10:53 PM

onsenmark 12-27-2016 05:56 PM

I bought myself the DLC season pass for FF XV this year. [sweat]

HIM_ROCK 12-27-2016 06:10 PM

THE DROP horror story toilet roll ! That was because HIM the person who gave HIM it, HIM bought her some panda knickers for her birthday.

Shadami 12-27-2016 07:01 PM

I need to buy that for myself too. I was going to wait until I beat the game first though.

Kirin Rosenbaum 12-28-2016 02:49 AM

Liztress: Hey stranger. I miss roleplaying with you. Wish you were on more.

Nope. It's basically all the upcoming DLC in one convenient package. Saves me from having to get it all piecemeal. Plus season pass users get better stuff in the Holiday Pack.

I ended up buying it last week, and beat the game on Christmas. I'm doing another playthrough in New Game+ mode.

I was pregnant and 18 years old and my mother-in-law gave me a Playdoh Fuzzy Pumper Barbershop...
It really wasn't as fun to play with as the commercials made it look....and at that age, who wants playdoh under their fingernails? Lol!
