The weird Christmas gift thread....

12-25-2008, 02:15 PM

I'm sure certain relatives deliberately buy me weird stuff at Christmas just to see if I'll react or say "Wow, thanks!" out of politeness (which I normally do) so I thought I'd start a thread to see who's been given the worst gift.

I'm reckoning that I'm going to set the benchmark to beat with an....Electric Hotplate!

Anyone think they can beat that?

Oh man....those are very useful if you do some cooking or host parties and run out of burners to keep things warm!

Its a great little gift for the cabin owner!

Best family Christmas gift ever.

Aren't those the cigars that the Penguin smoked in the old Batman TV show?

I was gifted from my wifey... a large assortment of different hot sauces and rubs for doing some 'good' BBQ

Did you say thanks or WTF?

I keep asking for a hotplate and never get one...

I got a giant 2 million year old sharks tooth from a Megalodon. It's weird and cool at the same time. Have no idea what I can do with it, but I got one!

We did a surprise Christmas swap where everyone brings a present and we play a gift swap game to determine who gets which gift.

I got a toothbrush sanitizer, I almost won a LB of Corned beef, but they wouldn't let me have it because that was the gift I brought.
