One of my former flight students gave me a creepy home made gift once. It was a plaster airplane with no top (so that you could see inside) and in the pilots and passenger seats were 10 skeletons. It gave me the willies!

What's the strangest gift anyone has ever gotten you?

The strangest gifts I've ever gotten were all from my ex (I agree, it explains why he's my ex). For christmas last year I got a computer DVD drive and a T-shirt that says "Han Shot First" in 3 sizes too big. The Han joke is from the nerdiest realms of starwars geekiness and I only knew about the joke from him. Don't get me wrong, I like starwars, but this shirt belongs on the commicbook guy from the simpsons!
I also got a plastic horse riding a plastic motorcycle in a plastic clear case from him once, but I loved it because he was playing with a joke I had with one of my other friends regarding my wanting a horse riding a motorcycle as my grad present last year. It's still odd.

Um... when I was fifteen my mom's ex boyfriend's mother got me a nightgown with ....
Little black scottish terriers wearing bows all over it.
Mother nature played a funny joke on me once..... I was in school and I had opened up the door to the outside of the gym locker to get some fresh air.. and there was the biggest freaking grasshopper on the sidewalk! It was like 3 inches long. So I stuck out my foot and poked it....
and it fell over.....
Turns out it was a rubber/plastic grasshopper. What kind of fool leaves a fake grasshopper outside????? My cats love to play with it though
Its on a string.
I really wanted a big comfy, christmas sweater to wear during the holidays and cold nights and when I felt like looking dorky... and my mom went and bought me a thin long sleeve shirt that was trying to pass for a sweater (it said it was a sweater on the tag) that was ok, I love long sleeved shirts... but it had buttons on the front (three of them from the top) and it also had elastic wrists... the ones that clamp down on you and try to suck your blood... (ok so they are like turtlenecks for your wrist.. no bloodsucking... unless there are vampiric turtles somewhere???) Bleh. I hate buttons like that. Its a waste of buttons. And the elastic wrists only make your hands shrink into the sweater so you're all like getting sucked into its sweatery abyss.
Yeah.

one year my brother bought me and my other brother each an M & M despenser. It was in the shape of a giant M&M and you pressed a button and M&Ms would come out. It was really a thoughtless gift.
Needless to say gifts from that brother are now gift cards.

strangest gifts
nad hair remover with bladless razor from step mum
a doily from nan
a scary looking troll doll with a big nose from a friend
a horridly tacky wind chime with marbles hanging off it from step mum
ten second hand floral pillow cases from nan
a wooden shell serviette holder, again from nan
can't think of anything else right now lol
my great grandma bless her heart gave me and my sister stockings and in the stocking included chip clips!
mine doesnt really compare to some of ya'lls...
every year at x-mas (my mom is so much fun around the holidays) she always makes sure and gets everyone at least one 'out there' gift... for example...last year, i received a child size spongebob and buzz lightyear electric toothbrush
for some reason, i have no idea why, i recieved a complete cowgirl outfit from my grandma and grandpa one year(i think i was 11)... complete with the boots, and the shirt that have the little tassel type things on it and a hat (wore it for a picture to send to her, then it was hid in the bottom of my closet)

sure it was
An ex of mine (recurring theme on this thread!) bought me a cd of 'jungle' sounds one Christmas. I listened to it once, and it was basically monkeys making the noises monkeys do, with the odd parrot hoot thrown in. He figured that as I was vegetarian, I would like it
I also had an ex who bought me a cheap Mills & Boon type book - again, he figured as I liked reading, I'd like it. Uh huh, because all books are good, right?
My Dad (the first Christmas after my Mother left) having to buy my pressie for the first time ever, bought me a bottle of Black Smirnoff

The strangest gift I've gotten, was when my ex gave me a birthday present, and you know how it is with presents, you are so excited to see what wonderful, fabulous item he has gotten you, and I rapidly unwrapped it to find.........A new iron..(because our old iron wasn't working well anymore), now come on, how romantic is an iron...I was soooo disapointed, but I remained polite about it..

I wouldn't have been able to supress the urge to show him exactly where I thought that iron should be shoved. . .
Ironing hurts my feelings.

A couple of years ago for Christmas an older nun I know gave me a box of tampons all wrapped up with a bow. She figured I'd have more use for them than she would.
Oh this is good. I briefly dated a guy who was one of those self made men with a lot of $$$. Anyhow, we were going out a couple nights a week maybe for 3 weeks when he dropped the L bomb. IT was weird so I backed off but decided to just roll with it because we had fun together. One night he did the whole romantic dinner thing and took me to his place where he sat me down and said he had something for me. He said that he cared about me very deeply and didn't know what I would think of it, but that he really wanted me to have it. Of course I'm thinking that this dweeb wad is going to propose and I am going to have to run out screaming. So he gets down and grabs something, stands up and puts it behind his back, all the while me watching with a look of horror. He moves the item into my view, and at first I'm confused, because it looks like a bottle... It was fish oil supplements!! WTH?! He said that loving someone meant caring about their health. Needless to say that was our last date, it was just too weird after that.
Gee, and I thought a vibrating pillow was a weird gift. My ex got me one of those the day before he became my ex.
I got a pet rock for my hgh school graduation. I carried it in my pocket for years.

The strangest gift ever bought for me: A Manicure.
I don't take care of my hands cuz I work hard with them. I am not a manicure-spa-type woman. Weird gift and it was totally wasted.

Tampons from a nun?!?!?!
I guess mine would be of the same "not me" variety, mainly when I was young I had an aunt that EVERY YEAR would give me a doll, up until I was probably 11 or 12. She never did figure out that I didn't like dolls ("action" figures on the other hand
.) As I remember I was fairly polite about accepting them and I did enjoy making clothes for them---I was into crafts even then.
We've always given, gotten, unusual gifts in my family. I remember one year giving my sister a Bowie knife, that thing must have had an 8 or 9" blade. Never could find an Arkansas toothpick although I searched for years
... of course this is the woman who has enough armaments under her bed to keep Chattanooga safe for Democracy

I don't think ANYTHING will top the box of tampons, LOL.
My worst was probably for my birthday when I was probably around 14...unwrapped a gift from my grandmother and the box was from knee high nylons...I figured something was wrapped in the box but no, it really was knee high nylons. Thrilling gift for a teenage girl. :-)
