i got my DH a heated, bidet toilet seat. It's what he wanted. He's also getting an XM radio in his car, some books, and a slide converter thingy.

What's the strangest gift under your tree??
 
It's not here yet but there will be a Stuffed Bacon that says "I'm Bacon" :rotfl2: It's a family joke and I can't believe they make this!
 
In a work grab bag I had a coworker request cat litter.....pretty weird.
 

Spitballs.

They are these gelatinous balls that grow in water. Our 6-year-old's teacher along with the school's principle gave one to each student during a class science experiment (:confused3). She dropped her's at home, and it broke. She was devastated. Luckily, like seriously luckily, Santa was able to get the kind folks at ThinkGeek to send her her own package of a whole bunch of spitballs. She will be thrilled.

For kicks and giggles, here they are:

Haha that's pretty funny.

And the heated toilet seat I do not get because a warm seat grosses me out. It makes me think of the person sitting there before me, even at home it grosses me out :confused3

I had someone ask for a case of Natural Light beer. Now that's weird to me because I'm such a beer snob.
 
I bought my DSis her very own safe! I asked her if she wanted a practical gift or a 'fun' gift(Wii game)and she said to go practical. Not sure if she remembers mentioning this fall she wanted a safe for her valuable papers!
 
The most unusual I guess would be the cat/dog stroller for my daughter. Her cat has figured out how to get out of the harness, so she wanted something safer to take her on walks with ;)
 
Our tree is usually very "odd" looking on Christmas morning. My oldest ds (13) has Asperger's and gets fixated on one topic. When he starts his Christmas list, it is Halloween time, so he LOVES asking for scary things. Most people don't expect to come downstairs Christmas morning to discover that Santa has brought one of those life-sized cardboard figures of Freddy Kreuger!!! That will be what we find this year.

We've had 10 foot tarantula's, light up singing ghosts, etc. We're used to it LOL.

We always look forward to using his Christmas gifts for the following Halloween.
 
A colander that fold flat for storage but doubles as a steamer. Its what u get the minamalist who liked to cook lol
 
I'm looking for a yodeling pickle..saw one on youtube and it was hysterical! We had the screaming monkeys a couple of years ago - they were a huge hit.

Please post if you find this and I'll look for one, too. My 13yo DS would get a big kick out of that!

Isn't ThinkGeek awesome?! I bought my husband a clock there today (He is a middle school math teacher).

Those spitballs look like those things they sell in craft stores for flowers. The balls come in all different colors and absorb the water, then the flowers suck it back out. But I don't think they grow in size like the spitballs. They do look fun though.
 
The weirdest thing under our Christmas tree this year is going to be floor mats for my dad's car. Pretty tame, I know. My aunt, however, is wrapping up and gifting a side mirror for her husband's pickup truck. He hit a mailbox and busted it pretty badly.
 
My 11 year old dd asked for purple walls and even included the paint chip with her Christmas list. Not sure how I'm gonna pull that off but am leaning towards putting the bucket of paint under the tree with a brush.
