What's the weirdest Christmas present you've ever been given? (Not necessarily bad, just odd)

I was given a school lunchbox for Christmas, three months before I was going to start university

I'd love an old school plastic lunchbox with the handle, rounded corners.

Maybe an A-Team or Fraggle Rock one.

A belt that would be right for a 64" waist and mine was only 28/30 at the time

Oh I've had those gifts too. I was probably a woman's size 6 (I was eleven maybe) and someone gave me a men's 3XL item of clothing. Thanks for the... tent?

That sounds quite sweet OP.

I had a packet of those sponges with the scourer on one side in with a present of mine. Maybe they thought my sink could be cleaner (even though it is spotless

)

Maybe it doesn't translate culturally

(I'm Australian)

In context it was giving me a present I'd need in primary school or secondary school, when I'd just finished secondary school. I said thank you etc, and kept my wtf on the inside

If I'd get an invitation even just for a coffee date.

Sex meet would be even bigger surprise.

Invite to threesome or gang bang would be weird.

I'd consider it might be a Truman Show kind of situation.

Maybe they give me an address and lough about me next door, when I turn up.

I've not received any odd Xmas presents, but I know 2 people who have.

One was a consultant surgeon who performed a gall stone removal for a patient.

The patient thought it would be a nice gift to present the gall stones in a box at a later date in Xmas to the consultant. The patient even artistically wrapped each gall stone in a purple wrapper from a Quality Street tin. (In other words, scoffed the chocs then reused the purple wrappers).

The other gift I heard about was an elderly gentleman bequeathing his pride and joy, a penis pump, on to a doctor.

People are unfathomably weird.

Book Token, to the value of £10. I was ever so grateful but didn't have the heart to tell her that you can't even procure a colouring book for less than £15 these days, let alone anything sociopolitical related.

She was from Tasmania and wasn't fully au fait with the purchasing power of the weak sterling.

^^^He's an ungrateful so-and-so

Probably my worst would have been anything pink/girly (ever) and things like little bottles of Impulse body spray or anything you would describe as "smellies" or makeup. I didn't use them, ever, nor do I now.

PS: I have always used basic soap/shower gel, before some clever dork gets that in
