Have you ever picked up something truly weird or naff on holiday?

I think my oddest thing is a single clothes peg I bought in Denmark. We were trying to use up the last of the money before we left. It's a lovely purple one, and very good quality. Probably more expensive than all my other clothes pegs combined.

But this is nothing compared to my husband. He came back from a teenage school trip to Lourdes with a 5 litre bottle of holy water. When he moved in with me his dad was very happy to pass it on to us. It lives in the back of a cupboard. I'm not allowed to get rid of it, despite us both being atheists. When I asked why he didn't get a smaller bottle, he said he liked to get his money's worth

At least we're prepared in case of vampires

How about you?

At my last employer we used to have a tatt shelf

When we went away, we had to bring back a piece of tatt that cost under £5

Over the year they built up a collection on the shelf

At the end of the year, the MD had to choose the "winner" (i.e. the worst)

He gave them a small gift from the company as a prize

Then we used to raffle the tatt off (internally) and donate the proceeds to a local charity

It only ever raised a few quid a year,but it was kinda fun

Son brought me back a piece of the Berlin Wall when he went over to Germany, it literally is just a lump of concrete with graffiti still visible, I think it is in a random cupboard now

I got given a huge.....like 10", cigar in a wooden box, years ago by a girlfriend after her holiday to Tenerife. Tried smoking it, it was absolute crap.

Found out later that she'd gone on holiday with another bloke!

Should have stuffed it up her a**e instead of trying to smoke it!

A warthog skull. I kept it in a bucket of formaldehyde for a week or so to get the remaining 'juicy' bits off.

Was it a plain mug with writing on, or one in the correct anatomical shape?

If that was me, I'd be delighted that the man still had them after all that time

Do you still have it? What does one do with a warthog skull? I suppose it would make a handy Halloween decoration

No I just had it on a wall but that was when I lived abroad, I couldn't really bring it back so I donated it to the Science department in my school there. I had a few of various animals - they now have quite a modest collection!

Tonypandy.

Shells, interesting stones, and always a bottle of some local spirit that is usually undrinkable.

When we went to Prague a few years ago we came back with a set of Russian dolls as Crystal Palace players. None of them looked remotely like the players they were supposed to be!

Do they have pride of place somewhere, or are they hidden in a cupboard now?

They are on our living room dresser. We occasionally get them all out when fellow Palace supporters come round and we get them to guess who the players are. They are almost always wrong!

That seems like a lot. Were they used as Christmas presents for people?
