Whats the strangest present you've ever been bought?

300 metres of industrial sized clingfilm from an ex-boyfriend. Apparently I used a lot of it. It lasted 3 years, a lot longer than the relationship!

Due to the fact that my OH and parents usually ask what I want I've had pressies like a 16v drill, timber to fix fences properly (rather than stuffing the gaps with branches) a rabbit hutch, horses rug, a dragon (enchantica) and my best own pressie of a tattoo for my 40th.

Someone bought me a dog bowl (didn't have a dog, still no plans to get one!). It was silver with different coloured semi-precious stones set into it. The chap who bought it for me just thought I'd like it. I did I suppose, but it was still a dog bowl! Odd.

My lovely and very dear Aunt once, when we were very small, bought my brother a tin of toffees and a tooth brush for Christmas!

MIL tends to dish out some oddities (ornamental china string dispenser and tea urn spring immediatly to mind).

What about this: Ananova - Hubby says it with manure

The first present my OH ever bought me was a pair of DM's. They're still going strong now

I asked the other half what se wanted for her birthday.

"Anything with diamonds" she said.

So I bought her a pack of cards.

I was asked (by a relative) what I'd like for Christmas. I said a hand fork (I'd worn the old one out!). I got one of those bent-end thingies like a back-scratcher. A nice thought, but it is SO NOT a fork!

I think I must have blanked them out of my memory, but the one that does stick in my memory was a farse/ace* towel that my darling brother bought for me one year. One end had farse written/embroidered/printed on it, and the other had ace.

*not the real words, but not far off.

LadyWayne's a great gift buyer.

Surely it was just something he bought as good value rather than as a present for you?

You are probably right Alison, it was the smile and flourish he presented them to me though!

[wheatleys wheels]

I generally find my OH is quite good with gifts... It's the mother in law and aunt I have to worry about... One year I got a green wheelbarrow candle. that was it from my aunt that christmas. Mother in law once bought a box of out of date (just) canned foods for Christmas.

My EX husband, did i say he was EX!! for Christmas one year bought me a telephone extension kit and plastic insertion tool for the cable, he thought it was really funny.
As I said he is now the EX!!!

I have 3 children and one Christmas my MIL handed me a parcel with a label attached that said "Merry Christmas to whoever it fits" (she'd hand knitted a jumper).

My Sister once got me a de-icer and car wash care kit.....but I dont have a car!!??

Maybe she was hinting?
