Hey Pandas, What Is The Strangest Christmas Present You Have Ever Received? (Closed)
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!

Grandma gave me her worn out house slippers 20+yrs ago...I still have them:)
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.
A pack of microwave popcorn. It tasted good though.
this is definitely gonna get down voted because i got this present on my birthday but whatever. so i got this weird dr. Seuss gymnastic game thing and i was like 8 not even in gymnastics...
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.
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.
Sounds kinda like a float (scoop of vanilla ice cream on root beer)
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.
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.
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.
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.
Was a piece of paper saying ' I O U and Christmas present' ....still never got it
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)...
A giant lemon with a face drawn on it
My (a**hole) stepfather gave me a belt when I was 17. I’d just had major abdominal surgery.
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!
I am yound and 2 years ago "Santa"gave me A set of bras.Santa get what you want,not what you need.I didn't even need them.
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.
That kinda sounds like the person that was giving the present to her was mocking her, which if that's the case, that's really cruel.
Flashcards. As in, educational flashcards
I got an actual piece of paper. Just a piece of paper. Blank, and only 1.
A classic arcade machine.
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.
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.
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.
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!
My uncle was always creative in ways to give me $50. One year it was a bag of 5,000 pennies
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.
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 don't think I ever got any particularly strange things for Christmas but this does remind me of that one date that gifted me two cans of herring...
