What is the strangest Christmas present you have either given or received? We all have relatives who can't read the labels, people who hardly know you or you hardly know, or people who just love that look on someone's face when they have no idea what it is they got. I'll start.
I got my dad a giant fortune cookie this year.

One year, for my birthday, I got a present of wrapping paper with my name on it from my aunt. What do you do with a gift like that?
Unknown2008-12-22 07:30:17
That was for my second birthday.

The weirdest gift i have ever received was a set of tires for my car last year.
EDIT: Allthough I was very glad to receive them, as they were much needed and I didn't have the $400 at the time to replace them.

Gifts that you need? That's not weird. That's like normal.

I swear I've gotten some pretty crappy presents over the years. My aunt would buy all kinds of junk and then give them to us at Christmas time. She thought more presents were good. I got a mirror at my grandmother's house one year. It ended up it didn't fit on my closet door so it went on my sisters. Toys that break after playing with them for two minutes. Ugly clothes. One Christmas I was working at a gas station and I got a tape from a random person. The tape had a sermon on it :/. Pierced earrings when I didn't have my ears pierced. And then later, after I explained I couldn't wear earrings, I got a tree that I could hang my earrings in... My dad's side of the family always gave crappy presents.

I may have opened up a can of worms, which may have been a present you got at one point.

Joke gifts are awesome. Okay this one time, in band camp: My grandmother took her socks off and asked my mom if she wanted them. Mmmmm, smelly socks.

I purchased today, for my sister's boyfriend, a little girls hot pink bikini. I am not sure why little girls can buy bikinis, however, I will present this to him with the warning that should he irritate me I will deconstruct him.
I got funny looks buying it.

My brother just got the king of all dud xmas presents; he got one of these.
And not only that, but it looks like the person who gave it to him decided to try it on first, because there's a lovely brown mark on the inside.

My mother in law gave me a vix vaporub box wrapped in paper. When I opened it, it was empty, and she said, "Wow, it must have vapo-rized".

I'm giving my new boyfriend a stuffed pig for a joke we have. Though, maybe I should've gotten a chicken for his nickname.
That's about the oddest I've given, can't recall anything really weird I've been given.

One year my stepmom's family bought a children's fishing pole, you know, the kind that couldn't catch a guppy without snapping like a twig? And we took three wrapping paper tubes and put them over it, then wrapped it to give to an avid fisher in the family.
