The holiday season is now upon us, and instead of focusing on nice and happy memories, I have decided to focus on the weird ones. So, this question formed in my head: What is the strangest Christmas present you have ever received?

I don’t personally have an answer to the question, but I would love to hear yours!

Grandma gave me her worn out house slippers 20+yrs ago...I still have them:)

    My brother had been growing a beard for a couple years, so it was quite long. For Christmas he decided to shave it off. He put the beard in a zip loc bag and gave it to me as a stocking stuffer. Gross.

    One Christmas when I was a kid, my mum bought us kids a can of spiders each (a fizzy drink with icecream) The can had a sachet with freeze dried icecream that you added to the fizzy drink. It tasted absolutely REVOLTING.

    An old friend once gave me a paperclip, not sure if they were trying to be a Dursley or what they were even getting at.

    Not me, but a family friend gave my daughter curling tongs. You know, the hot dangerous thing that you use to fry your hair and possibly burn your scalp/ears/face/neck. My daughter was 7 at the time.

    This was back in 1970 - I got married on Nov 20, and the ONLY Christmas gift I got from the new husband was a steam iron. No jewelry, no perfume, nothing but a steam iron. His mother recommended it so I could keep his clothes ironed properly. Her gift to me was an ironing board. Divorced him in May of 1973.

    A friend of mine got a tube filled with different nail polishes (maybe 20 in the whole thing). She was born with Anonychia, meaning she doesn't have nails.

    When I was little, my grandma (or great uncle, I can't remember), gave me a 3ft Chipettes backpack, it was a 3ft tall chipmunk that I unzipped at the neck.
    I HATED it.

    4 years into a relationship with my now husband, his mother decided to make me a Christmas present (that was the first and only time) - I got a used, deformed, not non-stick, lowest quality ever frying pan and in it was a stuffed animal from Angry birds. These Angry birds plushies were not even for sale, they were part of a game in theplace she worked for. I was 27 at the time. I like cooking as a hobby, but please.... And the plushie... what am I, a kid?? She never got me anything else, and I diligently and with all my respect prepare well-thought gifts every year.

    On the list of gifts (sadly I got none of these)
    -Turkey foot
    -Painting of a baby coming out of an egg
    -Clogs
    -African Oars
    And the list goes on and on!

    Once my friend Olivia gave me a speaker shaped like an avocado that was hooked up to her phone. So when I unwrapped it she started playing cardio music on it and screamed 'ITS AN AVOCARDIO!!!!' It's a pretty good little speaker, actually. It doesn't just play cardio music. But Olivia seems to be incapable of giving a present without making a pun out of it.

I saw them recording me so i went along with the meme. we call it the avocado Christmas. so now somewhere on my mom's phone is a video of me opening my gift, getting an avocado, and going "It's an avocado...thanks...." in the voice of the kid from the meme.

    I am bilingual (English and French). My step-mother-in-law (who's from France) was grinning ear-to-ear as she gave me a French version of Dan Brown's DaVinci Code. I appreciate her pre-reading this, but it's really not my kind of literature.
