    Probably some sherry classes my birthday from a friend when I was 22, I guess they just thought I was a guy that liked to sip cherry in front of an open fire :) lol

    Once when I was in elementary school, we had a secret Santa exchange and I received a camera box with a dirty stuffed dog inside. I was just a child so I felt kind of cheated that I gave a Play Doh barber shop set with the little people that grew Play Doh hair and received a dirty stuffed dog in the box from a camera.

    I received a figurine during our Christmas exchange gift back when I was in high school. A figurine is not really the best thing to give to a teenager right?

    I had been talking to my friends about why I find it difficult to keep my legs clean and without any dark colors on the soles. I had even developed some cracks especially when I wore sandals for over a week. Little did I know that my friend would give me a stone for scrubbing my legs as a birthday gift. It was perfectly wrapped in a way that I could hardly tell. It was wrapped in a large carton that at first i thought It was a piece of cake from my favorite bakery. On that day, I had invited some of my friends to celebrate the birthday with me, so I was eager to open it up to see what was in it but my friend, the one who gave the gift asked me not to. That even made me anxious and had to end the party earlier than planned to check out my gift. That was the funniest and weirdest moment of my life when I opened the box only to find a tiny stone at the center with some candies around the pumice stone

    I once received a cellulite removal kit from my sister for Christmas. It was really weird because at the time, I ran 20 miles per week and didn't have any extra fat on me. I was insulted.

    I think the weirdest thing I got on Christmas was and eraser (the one to erase pencil marks). I mean yeah it's just a small gift from an officemate that she has given to all of us in the office. But I just don't get it why eraser when no one uses it??? :confused:

    My husband and I were really young at that time and we had one old car that had broken down right around my b-day. So, My husband gave a carburetor as a gift for my b-day.

    I received a watch for Christmas and it was a man's watch. It clearly read "For Men". When I looked at it, I immediately knew it was a man's watch without looking at the package. LOL!

    It looked ridiculous on my arm, my step dads family always gives me crappy presents.

    I wouldn't call it weird, more just a unique present. My friend drew a framed picture of me as a bobble-head. She did it because we were both really into The Office and Dwight had his own bobble-head. It was a really thoughtful gift and she is really talented.

    I get the weirdest gifts from my kids lol. Without fail, every special occasion with gifts, I open completely random presents from them and I absolutely love it. They're older now, so they do it on purpose at this point.. it's tradition lol.

    the weirdest gift that I ever received I guess was a hand towel plus a soap given to me by a classmate when I was 12. I was really wondering why he gave me those things. I though that maybe she sees me as a guy who does not take a bath or maybe she thinks I am too poor to buy my own soap. I felt weird and insulted that time. I was 12 you know. :D

    Years ago, my then so called boyfriend told me to give my hand to him, and I did. Little did I know, that it was going to be a silver plastic ring that he bought from the candy and bumble gum machine from the laundry. I thought "REALLY"?????!!!!!! :eek:

    I got a billiards set as a gift. I have never even been too interested in this game and then I received a miniature table and set. I actually still enjoy it to this day. I was really surprised when I first received it to the point where I needed to ask if it was for me(haha). It was quite an amusing day.

    The weirdest gift I ever received was a bottle of rubbing alcohol. I mean alcohol is very useful but who gives that as a birthday present? I thought it was strange. It should have been a bottle of rum. That's one bottle of alcohol I could be content with. LOL.
