Well for me..there was a time when my aunt bought me make up knowing good and well that I don't wear make up. So therefore I didn't really get a gift because..I gave that to my sister..when my aunt wasn't around that is.

I got a "POO PET" from my brother one Christmas. It was a little sculpture of a sleeping cat made out of dried cow dung. You were supposed to put it under a plant and let it slowly release fertilizing nutrients as it erroded. It was pretty creepy.

OMG that's NAASTY!!!
my ex bought me a tarantula and a shark's tooth. No wonder he's my ex.
I had my taranny for many years and loved her. One day she just laid down and died.

A dead insect inside of a pendant.
Or perhaps it was the Holly Hobbie purse my dad gave me when I was 14.
(more suitable say...for an 8 year old????)

My mom last Christmas bought me this weird thing that cleans your pores. I dont even know what it's called lol.. it's got a REALLY strong suction on it and sounds like a mini air compressor! lol. I tried it once and OMG I about died laughing because it gave me a light hickey on my chin!
It ended up being a toy for the kids!

I got a tarantula for my tenth birthday, but only because I wanted it!
My brother got 'Mr. Poopoo Pig' once. He was full of brown jelly beans. You press a button, and a jelly bean comes out of it's butt!

I've never really gotten anything weird, but my ex-future-mother-in-law used to get me the most not-me gifts ever. She'd get me big knitted, patchwork sweaters, and one time she got me a pen with a clock on it
and she got be a big rain poncho once. Now she just gets me gift certificates.

The night before my wedding, my mother in law told me she had a present for me. It was a see-through, lacy negligee--very pretty, but the fact that she was giving me lingerie I found just a little bit creepy, like "Here you go, here's something nice to wear when you hump my son" LOL!
I don't know that this is weird, exactly, but the most off-base gift I've ever received was from an ex-boyfriend. We had been dating for several months, and for Christmas he gave me fur-lined gloves. Now, this is only strange because anybody who knows me for like 15 minutes gets that I'm a huge animal lover and not a fan of fur (unless it's still breathing). I handed them back to him and broke up with him on the spot on Christmas Eve. I know...I'm totally heartless but I figured if he we'd been together that long and didn't know at least that much about me I really didn't want to be with him.

my ex-boyfriend's grandmother once gave me a bag of socks. The ones you find at WalMart for $5 for a bag of six pairs.
I love that woman but she's so cheap when it comes to gifts!!
And this year for my birthday my ex-boyfriend wrote me a cheque. At first I thought that was weird... he's usually a lot more thoughtful than that. Then he told me he knew I had a lot of vet bills to pay and he thought he'd help me a little. That was sweet!

I'm with you on this one... that's creepy. I don't know what I'd say if my mother-in-law had given me lingerie as a gift!
I am not easily embarrassed, but that—that just—oh my.

I nearly spewed all over my monitor!
The only gifts I've ever gotten I've cherished, I'never gotten any strange gifts, but I do get lots of not-me gifts.
Yellow gold is way up there on my not-me list.
The strangest gift I ever got was a laughing bag....a big fad in the 1970's. It was funny. You could laugh for ever with it. Its ashame you can't find one anymore.
