What's the wackiest gift you ever got?

I was just thinking we could make a hysterical exchange out of these items. :rotfl2:

That would be me ladies! I am still around, and I can hardly wait to see what my mother in law comes up with this year. It is going to be tough to top the emergency auto hammer with bonus seat belt cutter, or the golf ball washer, or my personal favorite, the singing rooster wall basket.

I will be sure to post this year's treasures as soon as we get them!
Excellent! :Pinkbounc

:cool1: I can not wait to hear what you receive this year. I laugh so hard whenever I read your gift threads that I cry!

The first time I read one DH thought I was nuts until I read it to him & he couldn't control his laughter either!
 
My FAVORITE aunt gave me a ceramic fish toilet bowl cleaner brush holder. For my wedding. The brush went in the fishes' mouth.

she was sooo proud of the gift too, b/c she remebered we had nautical themed decor. Yes, we had model sailboats and some sailboat paitnings and blue throughout the house.

We got the matching liquid soap pump holder as well.
 

I got ceramic egg separator from my mom. Like a mini flower pot with a slit in it for the egg to fall out.
 
OMG! These are hysterical! :lmao:

I haven't received anything as wacky as most of you, but I have become a cow collector, not of my own doing, but my MIL's.

I was shopping with her once and saw a cow cookie jar or something and said it was cute. Somehow, her mind interpreted this as "Aggie collects cows". So, over the years, I've received that cow cookie jar, cow towels, cow dolls, cow dishes, porcelain cows, cow Christmas ornaments, cow socks, cow notepads and stationery, a cow butter dish, a cow cutting board, a cow dustbuster, a cow ironing board cover and probably some other cow stuff I can't remember right now. :rotfl:

My mom actually requested one of those emergency hammer things so I am going to wrap one up for her :teeth:
I forgot about the truly awful wedding gifts especially from older relatives.
I got a handmade macrame wall hanging that matches nothing in my home so I used to prominently display when the giver came over. She died and I dont have the heart to toss it but it is in the attic. A bottle of open,curdled Baileys Irish cream, a set of sheets from Zayre's dept store (it has been closed for YEARS so obviously a regift and the nice punch bowl that I actually liked (but use as a salad bowl because really how often do you make punch?)which had the original gift card in it. Apparently someone gave it to my aunt for her wedding and she gave to me. If youre going to regift it helps to remove the tags :lmao:

For my birthday last year, my Grandma gave me a 2X blouse. I'm a size 2, and in the same package was a deflated blowup beachball. :confused3

But the best was the year my Grandma gave my brother a turquoise collar shirt with "Gwen" embroidered on it. His name is not Gwen. :rotfl2:
 
My brother got me a shower head for my birthday one year. :confused3 Dont know why, he just did.
 
Oh, I just remembered. My brother likes to give off-the-wall gifts. I have a set of Three Stooges dolls from him (still in the original box, holding their value as collectibles :cool1: ;) ), and a Donald Trump doll -- press a button on his back and he says things like "You're fired". :confused3 :rotfl:
 
My grandmother used to give us Little Debbie's. Nothing says "Merry Christmas" like a package of discount snack cakes!

My friend got a padded toilet seat from her MIL who told her she had a bony butt. She sent a thankyou note profusely thanking her and saying she would think of her evertime she used it :rotfl:

OMG....this has me :lmao:

My MIL was famous for that sort of thing. She'd give me either a size 2 or a size 2X, never my actual size 12. I have no idea what that was about?! The deflated beachball is absolutely hilarious tho. :lmao:

My sister got a slipcovered cushion off her Godmother's couch, circa 1973 or so, for the birth of her first baby. It was that drab olive green that was so popular back in the day. We still aren't sure whether or not she is supposed to lay the baby down on this dirty stained thing, or was she herself supposed to use it as a pillow? :teeth: We also aren't sure where the other cushions are, she only got one and we clearly remember this couch had 3 cushions to it. :confused3

I worked with a lady who got a Diaper Genie for a shower gift. She had already received one so she went to take this one back and the clerk at the store went to open it up to make sure all the pieces were there. All the pieces were there allright, so was a used dirty diaper! :crazy2: Ooops!!!

Jeafl, you need to tell those who aren'r familiar about some of the gifts you have been given so far by MIL. I don't think we can wait until Christmas. :lmao:
 
O.K., excuse my serial posting but I just have to say I read this entire thread and I haven't laughed so hard reading the DIS in I don't know when. I love this thread! :lmao:

Keep 'em coming! :lmao:
 
Most of the clothes my mother buys. They are either on sale or clearance
so it what ever size she finds. :crazy:

i haven't been a medium in years yet she buys a medium sweater.

there was extremely ugly sweatpant set (which i never wear) in 2x.


We try to tell her don't buy anything or use giftcards
but she can't resist those big deals! :rolleyes:
 
My DH got a brown paperbag with happy birthday written on it on our doorstep from his grandmother (the millionaire) one birthday. It had 4 or 5 $2 bills in it. Yes it was money BUT a big but her friend had given them to her the week before because she thought she collected them and we knew she was given them. Go figure. :teeth:

I did get one of those emergency hammers from my inlaws one christmas. I put it in the car under the seat. What can you say.

My dad always gives us his freebies from other companies etc. My daughter got a free Krave tshirt adult sized. I think that's a ceral or candy bar or something. My husband gets assorted baseball style hats with company logos on them. I got a duffle bag from some company. It wasn't too bad actually except it was for golf and had some weird zipper compartments that made it almost impossible to use. We get pens and paper pads with my mothers name on them.
 
:rotfl2: one year we got a basket from my aunt with spices and shampoo.....another year same aunt, dh and I got 12 blow animals??? last year my dad sent dh a used army watch they got at a yardsale, the kind you get for free but it had already been used and was gross and they didn't even put in a battery??! this year my dad came to visit.....and brought dd and I gifts, mine was a minnie phone that was broke and dd got a cute disney music box that was also broke......should i keep going??my mother in law gave dd when she was 5 a huge coffee mug and date planner???? :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :crazy:
 
On our first date my DH brought me a live white mouse. Guess what? The mouse had 10 "babies" 5 days later.
 
:dance3: Bless all your hearts!!! :lmao: I had no idea that family would do that to each other. I need to call my mom and mil and thank them for giving awesome gifts (well, maybe not awesome, but normal at least!).
 
I know a lot of you are familiar with my Christmas gifts from my mother in law, but we got some interesting wredding gifts at the time as well.

My personal favorite was a purple plastic porcupine hors d'oeurve (sp?) holder. It had plastic "quills" that you were supposed to stick cheese or fruit cubes on.

Another was a set of 11, yes 11, ugly blue glasses in a water stained cardboard box. There were 12 sections in the box, and one section was empty so there must have been 12 glasses at some point. The box looked like it was stored in somebody's flooded basement for years.
