I have a friend whose brothers tells her every year he is going to get her silly stuff like , a bag of sticks,chicken feet or one year a bucket of frozen spit.
The bag of sticks contained a lovely charm bracelet with a tree charm on it, the chicken feet were huge fuzzy chicken feet slippers and I don't remember what was frozen inside the bucket of spit (plain water I hope) but I'm sure it was just great.
My strangest Christmas present was given to me at 15 from my dad. I had run away a few months earlier. My present was wrapped in two layers of road maps. It was a watch that had a note attached. "Now you will know how to find your way home and what time to get here"
So what wierd , silly , goofey gift did you guys get?
(I could use ideas)

Well, I think every year my family plays a trick on me. Like once they got me a sweater that was surely meant for a clown. and then this one time my Mom got me socks with toes, and this other time my sister got me a cheese log.
I always laugh appreciatively for them but that seems to upset them for some reason.

Pet rock anyone?
For romantics perhaps a Pineapple.

I'm sorry, I had to delete your post because it contained an auction number, which isn't allowed per the CG. Please feel free to repost, just leave out the auction number.
