Even though it's the thought that counts, have you ever received a Christmas[Birthday or any other holiday] present that just made you wonder how in the world the giver thought you would like it?


As for me, I somehow got a stapler as one of my Christmas gifts last year....
I don't even know.. xD;;

I wouldn't know how to answer this. I mean there are things that I get for Christmas, my birthday, etc. that I don't always like or favor the most, but it isn't something to say, ridiculous or out of the ordinary for me. Possibly getting a pencil case from my teacher after she came back from India over the summer might have been the oddest thing to bring back for me, but that wasn't on any special occasion or holiday of the sorts. :\

Last year, my Mum put a full toolbox in my stocking. It came in handy for fixing things at Uni, but I was still a bit wtf when I first opened it. XD

The weirdest gift I ever received would definitely have to be the electric shaver my grandfather gave me. Now, I would actually appreciate this gift, you know, had I received it now or in the last couple years. Too bad I was gifted this particular item when I was the ripe age of thirteen. :D

Yeah, I didn't grow much facial hair back then... or any at all.

To this day I still have no idea why he gave me that. My theory is that he was either regifting, or very senile.

lol... i know who that goes ^_^

the best "weird gift" i ever got was a can of cat food... my great grandma was feeding the cats while she was wrapping presents... and she accidently put the can of cat food in the box that my christmas clothes were going in... she wrapped it nice and everything...that was a definite WTF moment...

I got one of those flee market necklaces for old ladies once from an Aunt, who was my godmother too. It was less than $10. The same side of the family has gotten me magnets with my name on them (as in more than one person got me them). Yeah, 'cause I really want snowmen with "Michelle" written on the broom that Mom can hang swine-flu notices on the fridge with. Thanks a lot; they were wonderful gifts.

It's been long but we can do it; let's make this our dream

Look to tomorrow because it's all we have. Turn up the music until the walls shake. What do we have?
Is it hope? Love? Is it nothing at all? We won't know at all until we make something of what we feel.
When that happens, we'll find the truth. We'll find what we want. And we will find ourselves, finally.

It used to be clothes for me, but now that I'm old, I actually tell my parents I need clothes because I can't think of anything else besides money that I need. I actually ASKED for underwear this year XD

More recently, it was a Larry the Cable Guy DVD. Yeah, I'm not into redneck humor, thanks for playing. I left it at home when I went back to college. Maybe my family got some enjoyment out of it... definitely more than I would have :/

I think that there's really no reason to complain if I'm being given free stuff. I've never expected anything extravagant.
This.

I tend to appreciate anything that people give me because it is a token of their generosity, and being given any present at all always does a lot to feel warm inside. I don't expect much, even a simple gift that's a little unrelated to my interests still makes me happy.

Yeah, my aunt got me a ring three years in a row for my birthday and for Christmas. I had six rings and I didn't know what to do with them (oh no, not like expensive rings like wedding rings, just regular ones). That and science kits - as a kid I always got science kits from people who didn't know what to get me. Past few years it's just been money and vouchers for record stores so I don't find myself saying the line in the topic title much now :D

A few times but I am really great at pretending I like a gift even when I hate it. Like a shirt that you would never wear (but to bed). I have gotten some of those in the past.

One of my grandmas can give weird gifts... she seriously gave my little brother (who was I think 11 or 12 at the time) a coloring book. We all laughed. Oddly enough, I usually like what she gets me.

Only two presents I can think of right now gave me an initial WTF reaction. One was Apples to Apples, a card game of sorts. I got it from my uncle when I was young, somewhere between 12-14. I was like "WHY ISN'T IT A VIDEO GAME DD:" However, the game is extremely fun, so now I feel bad for thinking that. The other one was a clothes hamper my mom sent me the first Christmas at college, because that was the last thing I was expecting for Christmas. However, it was an awesome clothes hamper, and the only reason I don't use it now is because the wire pokes out of the bottom.

Really, even if I really go WTF at first, I can usually get over it and be grateful for it. :3

I seriously think that the coolest present I get every year are those 50000 pairs of socks. Seriously. Whoever gave me those totally know how much I just love socks. But hey, they're socks. Can't really go on with life without them.
