Holiday Gift -- What Is It?

[Annie&Hallie'sMom]

Has anyone ever gotten a gift and not had a clue what it is?

Here's the deal. I received a small package from one of my vendors. I purchase propmotional items from them. Now I had already gotten a desk blotter calendar for 2004 from them, so I was suprised to see that there was something else from them.

So open the box and have no clue as to what it is or what it's supposed to be "used" for. If it smelled good, I'd say it was a sachet because it's that size. If it was more pliable, I'd say it was a stress ball (only it's not a ball -- its rectangular, purple and smells like leather). Someone said it must be a paperweight, which is a possibility, but it's not like any paperweight I've ever seen.

So I have no clue what it is or what do with it (nothing inside the box except a note saying Happy Holidays.

Has this ever happened to anyone else?

That is an odd gift......

We've received some weird gifts from our associates - I always take them to the office and we have a game called, "What the heck is this?"

Your gift by chance wasn't listed in their catalog, was it?

 

[Annie&Hallie'sMom]

Pam, excellent thought! I'll have to go check it out!

 

[Annie&Hallie'sMom]

Great idea Pam, but I couldn't find it there. The site is not that easy to navigate and I looked under several categories, but couldn't find anything that sounded like what I got!

The mystery continues...

Is it a hacky sack? (You know, that little ball thing you kick around with your feet?)

For my shower, I got a vase and 2 things from one of my cousins. I would have thought that they were candlesticks, but I never saw any candlesticks like these. Maybe they were tall, crystal egg cups?

I knew they were from Penney's so I took them back, not knowing what to do with them. The sales clerk who worked in the department didn't know what they were either.

A square leather thing? Hmm... no clue...

Yep - I am involved in a Un-Secret Santa pin swap on another board and the package arrived last week.

IT IS KILLING ME!!

I wanna open it right now but am being very very good.
