Weird/Unexpected gifts

[Shorty]

For the holiday, did you receive any odd or unexpected presents from anyone? Ones that made you wonder what the hell it is, what you're going to do with it, or where you're going to place it? Why the person gave it to you in the first place? Ones that you did not expect to receive from that particular person you received them from?

My boyfriend received a Zombie Survival Guide from his mother! I thought it was a silly and unexpected gift from a mother to a son. But apparently, she's just looking out for him.

Discuss!

I, um, got a reflective armstrap. Again. I got one at my birthday a month ago and one this Christmas. From the same person.

Your mother is awesome~

Not for Christmas, but my brother got his gf a minute maid shirt.

It's a carton of Minute Maid juice with an orange on the side.

I got some of those armwarmer thingies from topshop :o

It might not be weird on its own, but I seriously got a gift card from all but one person in my extended family. It's nice, and they were mostly appropriate (the one to Target was wtf though), but I really need cash lately, since I'm a poor college student.

I did not expect a houndstooth checked insulated vest with a furry hood from stu's mom, but I'm going to make the best of it xD

[Mogi]

I got three presents. One was a $25 gift card to.
Winn Dixie.
wtf.
o_o;

I received a bar of soap and my mother got a half a bottle of used lotion from her sister.
Edit to above. Winn Dixie is still around?

[rubah]

don't say soap is a bad gift guys ;_; I'm going to give my brother some that I'm making today!

[Jessweeee♪]

I got these awesomely tacky purple pajamas xD

[Kes]

I got the weirdest flipflops from my father. They're blue, and covered in fake grapes. Plus there's also a small plastic banana on it, a butterfly, a lily looking flower thing, and handful of other stuff.

I honestly hope it was something of a gag gift because I laughed for a good ten minutes straight.

[Araciel]

I got a 2 lb carton of assorted licorice candies...

Gross.

[Markus. D]

The awesome skelleton ornament :3!

[Montoya]

I gave all my friends a picture of me in a suit. They all liked it.

Weirdest: romance novel about a pimp and a dominatrix (smurfing Mormons)

Most unexpected: a marshmallow gun (we all unwrapped a bag of marshmallows and were like 'wtf?', then the gifters ran out and pelted us with their marshmallow guns before giving us ours; a battle ensued)
