Your parents house can be an absolute goldmine when it comes to odd and random trinkets. We all collect things over the years, a lot of it crap. But amongst it all there are some gems, weird objects that have an interesting background story and add to the rich tapestry of your family story.

With the holiday season upon us and family visits aplenty, we at Bored Panda have decided to compile a list of the strangest things that people have come across when catching up with the old folks.

It all kicked off on Twitter during thanksgiving when someone tweeted out a request for the oddest things found at their parents place. People responded with glee, sending in pictures by their thousands. Here is a selection of the best, don't forget to vote for your favourite and feel free to add your own!

smh. all of this reminds me very much of the one time when in Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, in the Neighborhood of make-believe, King Friday installed Borderguards and everyone had to give his Name, Rank and serial Number. There was a lot commotion and feelings where hurt everywhere. I bet Mr. Rogers could explain to all of us what to do now. What a mess.

It's okay to have an opinion as long as it doesn't blatantly insult others

Political correctness is kind of modern dictatorship or maybe a censorship. In order to not offend anyone social issues cannot be discussed freely anymore and problems either stagnate or grow bigger. This opinion of yours quite sums all that is wrong with western culture right now.

What is with that anti-Trump mood at Bored Panda? When I write something good about Trump I get like a million minuses, always. I guess that it is a nice example how liberals see freedom of speech - it is a great thing, of course only until someone has different opinion.

Whatever you're talking about isn't a free speech issue. It's a "you support a moron and people disagree" issue. Sorry your wittle feelings get hurt that people disagree with the fact that you support a monster.

Oh, you mean like the Obama ornaments they sold a few years ago? You know, the ones that were all over the internet with the caption "Suddenly it's legal to hang a black man from a tree"? Yeah. Didn't see the outrage pouring in on that one either.

Who is brainwashed? Trump supporters! They (you) literally believe all the b******t that spews out of his mouth, despite the fact that he is a proven liar. Trump IS bad. Anyone who can't see that is ignorant.

Are you seriously calling others snowflakes when you're crying and whining and offended by a doll? LOL! I'd point out the irony but I know you're too stupid to get it.

This doll is from the mid-60's, I think. Her name is "Little Miss No-Name". Although, I'm not sure if this one is an original because it looks like she's missing the painted tear from her face.

Need something for scale... or they just look like regular anvils... which is still a weird collection to have... unless they're blacksmith descendants... or have some weird horse shoe fetishes....or have horses.... or make jewellery... or remove handcuffs.... On second thought, maybe not so weird

The legs are growing first; after two weeks you'll see the arms too. In a couple of month they'll all have fangs and they'll start searching for fresh meat... It's always the same!

Ew. When you flush the toilet it "sprays" a cloud of toilet water dust straight up in the air above, and that is why you should not keep anything near the toilet, and also, close the lid before you flush...
