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!
#1
Grandma gave me her worn out house slippers 20+yrs ago…I still have them:)
#2
Not recieved but gave my sister a potato, a tin of beans and a block of cheese. She loves a baked potato with cheese and beans.
#3
I got personalized tissues. So did my 2 sisters.
#4
A pack of microwave popcorn. It tasted good though.
#5
Peanut butter. Regular and chocolate flavored

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.
#8
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.
#9
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.
#10
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.
#11
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.
#12
I didn’t get this but my brother did. He got a can of diced tomatoes and Velveeta cheese. My aunt gave it to him.
#13
Was a piece of paper saying ‘ I O U and Christmas present’ ….still never got it
#14
My mother in law gave my husband a carved coconut that looked like a monkey. Ten years later she gave me a carved coconut that looked like a turtle(missing an arm)…
#15
A giant lemon with a face drawn on it
#16
My (a**hole) stepfather gave me a belt when I was 17. I’d just had major abdominal surgery.
#17
So my mother bought me a women’s beauty kit with a diet sheet, makeup, a bra, a razor and wax strips. I was 5!
#18
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.
#19
Flashcards. As in, educational flashcards
#20
I got an actual piece of paper. Just a piece of paper. Blank, and only 1.
#21
A classic arcade machine.
#22
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.
#23
Shoes in the shape of fish. Their names are Fredrickson blub and Liliana blub. They were married February 2020 and gave birth to a green baby. They are such a happy couple.
#24
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.
#25
Not me, but when I tell you my church’s white elephant game gets interesting, oh boy does it get interesting.
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!
#26
My uncle was always creative in ways to give me $50. One year it was a bag of 5,000 pennies
#27
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.
#28
A potato, literally just a potato.
#29
my parents decided to recreate the avocado meme so they got me an avocado for Christmas. 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.
