Going on from Karmgirl's thread below.... what is the funniest present you have received?

Here's mine...
One Christmas my great aunty gave me a coffee jar full of cotton wool balls, my mum a plastic red necklace (like the sort from a Crimbo cracker) and my nan (gt aunt's sister) a small box full of UHT milk cartons that she had pinched from a cafe.

She was / is not in the least bit senile and is very wealthy, so we absolutely have no idea what her thinking was behind these gifts LOL

haha thats well funny

The funniest I've had is prob a cushion
When I was a teenager my gran gave me a jumper with four sleeves - the idea being you would wear the jumper as normal and knot the other two sleeves casually around your shoulders! Needless to say, I thanked her politely and stuffed it in a cupboard never to be seen again.
The jumper with 4 arms hilarious did she think you were half a octopus!!!
Lasy year my Son bought me one of those bead string things that you hang on Christmas trees - it was bright green. As it was all looped round in the packaging, he thought it was a beautiful necklace. He was only 7 and he did his Christmas shopping in the Pound Shop. I still wore it for Christmas Day.
Don't know about funny, but these are the worst/wierdest presents I've recieved:

A book I owned that my brother borrowed on xmas eve wrapped up in newspaper and 'gave' me on xmas day - cheapskate!

A hair clip even though I have REALLY short hair (shaved head at thime actually!) and a matching necklace which was broken, so basically it was a carrier bag full of beads!

A photocopied note from my grandparents saying that my xmas pressie had ben donated to charity. I was seriously skint at the time, and there are only 10 people in my family so they would have only had to write it out 4 times but they went to trouble of using a photocopier instead?!

Oh roll on December!! LOL

I love the four armed jumper idea LMAO

Thinking back, as a teenager, a "friend" gave me half a tub of talcum powder and a used sponge - I got her a cute little diary. Some friend. Pah.

Needless to say I haven't seen her for years :-D
why on earth would she give you talcum powder and a used sponge - strange
Wish I'd kept it now. my sister got one too so we could have passed them on to my girls as treasured family heirlooms

Maybe she thought I was smelly karmgirl :-(

Yinyang, make it a family tradition, you and your sister should knit one for your daughters and they in turn should knit one for theirs.

My brother was given girl's dressing up shoes & necklace set one year. We think they were intended for his baby daughter but the pressie definitely had his name on it!
My birthday was only yesterday :)
And I did happen to recieve 3 used coat hangers!
Here's mine......
It was a few years ago now, but my mother-in-law gave me my christmas present 2 weeks before christmas, so I put it under the tree with all the other presents. But after 3 days our bulldog was going nuts aroung the tree. When we pulled all the prezzies out, the one off my mother-in-law was
soaking wet, so we opened it, and it was a piece of frozen beef, no wonder the dog was going nuts........:-)


Lol!!! Mine was a knitted toilet roll cover, fashioned into the shape of a lamb. I found it so hilarious that I sumitted a letter to a local paper about it. The letter was published....my auntie read it....and I almost shrivelled with embarrassment.
my twin sister who's supposed to know everything about me got me a left handed pen one christmas
would have been an ok prez if i wasn't RIGHT HANDED!
lol, we still laugh about it now
