Valkyrie Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Now it has to be said that I never, ever expected to get these this morning. A box with a Duplo chicken and a house with a lady. A 3D Hama set of chickens to make. And the piece de la resistance - A boxed set of meerkat stories. Actually the stories so far are amusing. Bearing in mind OH had a membership to River Cottage! DD got a new TomTom. Sooooo who does have the wackiest present and from who? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyhen Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Those present choices would be hard to beat ! My weirdest was a pair of moshi monster slippers with giant claws from my OH ... The dog wants to kill them and as been attacking my feet for most of the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikipins Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Not too wierd so far (second lot of presents from other half of family tomorrow so still scope) I did get a book of knitted meerkats, I think that might make it to the school tombola, now if it had been a book of knitted chickens................

Valkyrie Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 Love the slippers! And the meerkats can join my books! We could do a swap and then hit the charity shops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 You mean you don't want to knit meerkats??? I do!!! I got a torch from OHas a stocking filler, which to you lot may seem wierd - but to me is a very good prezzie as I'm often lurking in the dark!

The Dogmother Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 My weirdest was a bottle of dog shampoo! Mind you I love useful presents, the best was the Big Axe a few years back No weird presents this time I don't think, we don't really go overboard on things. Rosie had saved up her earnings to get me a set of Aga Oven gloves with chickens on them... really lovely and thoughtful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 My weirdest was a bottle of dog shampoo! I had two weird presents - one from my brother and SIL which was a dog toy... wrapped up with a label from their dog to my dog Bearing in mind I had bought for them and their two boys, there was nothing for hubby and I, just a pressie for the dog! (Not that I buy presents in order to receive them, but I would have expected something, however small, from my own brother). The other weird present was a catering size jar of chip shop pickled onions from my hubby, although admittedly it did make me laugh very much as I do LOVE pickled onions. However, I would love to know the thought process behind seeing a 2.25kg jar of pickled onions in the cash and carry and thinking 'Christmas present'.... !!! (He did get me something else as well, so he is not in the doghouse ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Not for Christmas but my parents went to New York last year, my brother got a hoodie and I got a toothbrush holder with a cow on it... I'd maybe understand if it was a chicken but !? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinning Top Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 For anyone who knows me well, this isn't weird (in fact as my neice said to me on Boxing Day, 'you're not as weird as I thought you were''....... nice, huh Anyway, I got a "Ooops, word censored!"eShirt. That's not a naughty word, it's the trade name. Every piece (each front, sleeve, collar part etc) is a different brightly coloured floral fabric and I absolutely love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Those did all make me laugh L_B reminded me that a neighbour laughed and gave me ajar of pickled garlic as I rushed round the theirs a few weeks back in a panic as I'd started cooking a dish which needed garlic only to find that I'd run out of fresh cloves! My sister once gave me a tea towel for my birthday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 After saying in the 'what don't you want to find under thre tree thread' nothing with the word novelty attached to it OH gave me a mad clucking rooster that plays the Birdie Song and dashes around the floor. Quite funny really, he bought me similar one a couple of years back that plays Camptown races as it walks. My consolation was it was a charity shop buy therefore it has made some money for a good cause an may well make some more for another one in the not so distant future.

CatieB Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 In the what you don't want to find thread, I said the only thing I didn't want was body lotion. DH and I took a suggestion from here to have a fifty pound limit on presents, and guess what DH spent over £10 on????? Yes body lotion (Oh and £16 on a pair of socks!!! A very nice pair of socks but £16) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedusA Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 OH bought me a night light in the shape of a white rabbit. The house bunny keeps eyeing it suspiciously. OH did get me several other nice things and this was meant to be a joke present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGirlsMum Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hubby bought me a four wheeled trailer for use at the field......however when he tried to build it for me on Christmas day it only had 3 wheels. He took it back and had a refund, we had a phone call yesterday to say a wheel had been located so I now have my trailer and Trago's have a 15% discount on Thursdays.....barguin.
