I have received a fur lined sink, and electric cheese straightener, a toenail engraver kit and an electric toilet seat warmer. Of course, I have received some dumb gifts as well. What gift have you received under the tree that made you shake your head?

A 4 pack roll of toilet paper - but I guess that's practical
A poorly painted ceramic Santa clock (not made by the giver)
A snow globe dated 2001 - I got it in 2004

When I was a teen my mom gave me a set of luggage for Christmas. All that was missing was the one way ticket to ???? It ended up being very useful over the years but at the time, it felt like a not-so-subtle hint to get lost. In many ways, I wish I'd had the courage to pack those bags and leave. I did a few years later, and I haven't looked back.

I was only about 8 years old, and my dad kept telling me that my gift from him was a rock. of course I didn't believe him. but come Christmas day I opened that present first, and to my amazement I found a huge rock in the box. I got so upset and cried that I didn't see the note that was under it that told me about my new bicycle on the side of the house.. since I think I rebelled, my dad made me throw away the rock, and since I have been a rock hound.. go figure uh?

From my Mother in law, a nipple stretching kit. I kid you not. Back when my kids were little, the hottest new bottles on the market were those platex disposable nursers. They didn't have the rings for over the nipple. the nipples went over the rims. They were a pain in the butt to stretch over the top, so they came out with a nipple stretcher. You invert the nipple on this cone shaped expander (it had a spreader that opened up like petals) and then you placed it on the top of the bottle. Then you pressed down and it would flip the nipple up and over the rim. TA DAH!!

I was a tomboy when I was a kid. I loved He-Man action figures, playing with swords and guns, climbing stuff, etc. The worst present I got one year was a Cabbage Patch Doll. I hated that thing. I ended up giving it to my mom. I still hate baby dolls.

I am doing Life without Parole.
For my first Christmas here in the big house, the warden gave me one of those perpetual calendars.

A makeup kit (seriously), and perfume. I don't wear makeup (or perfumes) -- EVER -- and I am NOT interested in typical "girly" gifts (it just seems to me like they are trying to minimize me as a person and denigrate me).

it shouldnt matter, people today have become so caught up in the gifts and materials that surround christmas, they disregard the gesture of giving a present and sharing joy because of the birth of christ.
