A few years ago my mother in law gave me a singing fish.You hang it up on a wall & everytime you walk past it burst into song."Meet me at the river" or "Don't worry be happy".
I hated the bloody thing but had to put it up where she would see it in our house.

The weird gift giving is MY thing. Last year I gave my youngest son a large red button thing that he put on the dash of his truck. Whenever he has an issue with another driver (tailgating him, cutting him off, etc.) he can depress the red button and a "red neck" voice will issue an insult for him. "What's your hurry, a-hole? Wal-Mart is open all night" for example. Guess which finger he uses to press the button....My middle son received a large nose that dispense soap or shampoo through the nostrils. I t sticks to the shower wall with suction cups. I also gave him green liquid soap!!!

For Christmas, a $200.00 gift certificate,......to the dentist!! From my husband and I was less than thrilled. My teeth are strong and healthy but just hadn't been in a while and he thought I would appreciate. Needless to say a few days later another gift surfaced, a beautiful piece of jewelry! Redemption. What goes on in the minds of men?

Last year my auntie sent me a christmas card with a $1 scratchie in it, im far from an ungrateful person but this woman is NOT poor. The rest of the family couldnt understand it either.

Toilet paper. Gal at the office party thought it was a gag gift party. NOT, people were opening beautiful ornaments, vases, candles, nice stuff so I pick out what I thought was a Christmas pillow and low and behold it was an extra large strong pack of TP. I left there the next year.

My brother gave me a large dill pickle. It was wrapped in a dozen boxes, each one larger than the last, and the whole thing was weighted with bricks. To top it off, he wrapped it in expensive gold foil wrap, tied it with an extravagant bow, and included an expensive, sentimental card. We laughed until we cried and our bellies ached for hours.

One year my mother in law gave me size 11 slippers, (i wear 7's) , a pair of pink and orange plaid slacks, way to big and a beautiful sweater that would have covered 1 boob, not both. None of this was returnable. Had every thing fit I would have been one screwy looking girl. After that I gave her a detailed list with sizes and colors. She would sometimes slip but most of the time she stuck to the list.

wet weather gear for a motorbike I didn't own or have a license for, but I got a license , loved the bike . unfortunately it was never there when hubby no.1 wanted to ride it.( made sure of that) next year I bought him a boat and showed him by brand new boat license, the best present he bought me was an ironing board, told him it was so good Id never want to spoil it, so he had to do his own ironing after that one.,after that he just gave me gift cards, I had the best looking dress in divorce court!!
