A toilet.
No joke!!! I guess I was about... oh I don't know...... 13 or 14. You know? That horrible age when you start complaining about anything you come in contact with. That particular year, I was totally ticked off with all of the commodes in our house. All? Ok.... we had two. And neither one ever seemed to be working at the same time. And inevitably if you finally fixed one, the other would immediately stop up. And Heaven forbid if they both broke down at the same time. I seriously can't tell you embarrassing it was to have friends come over to your house and you have to tell them how to tenderly and gently wiggle the handle just so and pray and cross your chest 8 times each time you flush. Not to mention that if the main bathroom wasn't working, having to send your friend to use the bathroom in your father's little 2x4 bathroom that was anything but sanitary and fit for a lady. *sigh*
So, I said to my parents, "I don't care if I get anything else for Christmas. I just want a working commode!!"
And low and behold...... I got one. They even wrapped it and everything. It was freaking hilarious when they brought it out on Christmas morning. We had tons of relatives over and they all died laughing to. Ohhhhhhhhh they had so felt my pain as well!! It was a hilarious...... fun and ever so useful all mixed together in one great gift.

My father-in-law is the king of creative ways to be cheap.
One year, my mother-in-law had helped me out when my car broke down by paying the 230 dollar mechanics bill (from her own account that my father-in-law has no say-so over). This was in August. By October I'd paid her back. For Christmas, my father-in-law "forgave my debt" (the one I'd already paid off) for Christmas.
The next year, he gave me a decorated tin, and there were the little pins that look like movie posters that the people who work at video stores wear. There was a Snow White one and a few other movies I've never liked much or heard of. When I opened it, he said "I got you those because I know you like that sort of thing." How he "knew" this, I have no idea, since I've never expressed any interest in pins or the movies depicted on them. So I thought, "Well, the tin is really pretty." I'm pretty sure he heard me think that somehow, because at that moment, he said "Now, the tin isn't for you, it was just to keep them in."

a chess board, i quit playing chess in 8th grade, that was 4 years ago, i guess some people just arent to observant. Or maybe their trying to hint that i should start playing? Who knows, also i got a solid 3" by 6" by 6" chunk of steel. That was pretty random, but at the same time awesome. Idk it was pretty cool, i used it all the time for all sorts of diffrent things.

A lemon. from my sister. I'm sure it was a joke that related to the quote "when life gives you lemons...." forgot the rest. But anyways she wrapped it and i was playing with it. [i thought it was a ball] then on christmas day i opened it and it fell out and fell straight on the ground and into a huge mess. =]

As an adult, I got a checkers board made of pieces shaped like care bears. Kinda different, but a great memory of something I used to like.
