I guess I have been very lucky...I havent gotten too many weird gifts. I would have to say last year my sister in law gave me a small earring holder with what I think are childrens earrings. There is no way I would wear any of them. I thought she really wasted her money. But I said Thank you, and smiled as tho I really would.

My gift in question has to be the gift my grandmother would always give at Christmas. Long pink wooly underwear, that was scratchy to wear. She would give this EVERY YEAR!, when I was a child. I don't know where she found them. Probably from some S&M store,lol.

I have been uber fortunate... I haven't received any "weird" gifts. I've received things I certainly wouldn't use, and have given most of them to Goodwill except the ones I "must" keep around if the relative should ever ask about them : D But those are just a matter of personal taste - nothing "weird"... hummm...
we're all a pretty weird people group (our family) - yet we give pretty "normal" gifts : D

You did the right thing. Smiling and saying "thank you" was the gracious thing to do.

Aaah Gee, I'm not sure...but I think I have gotten both the weirdest Christmas Presents and the best also.
First weirdest, was when I was 19 yrs. old...
... and the nice guy I was dating made up one of those elaborate "boxes wrapped up, then put inside a bigger, also wrapped up box, etc."
For some reason this was a cool thing to do when you wanted to
propose to your girlfriend...and the diamond would be, of course in the last and smallest wrapped box...
So I was really stoked up...wow!!! I'm getting engaged on Christmas....so cool!
Well, after unwrapping no less than 12 packages, he was really good...I get to the last one, with my whole family standing around with anticipation and excitement, just waiting for me to open it.
I did....NO RING... but a quite interesting looking?, round, like a button you'd wear for "so and so for president"...
that said "GO AWAY"...He laughed hysterically, and I eventually did "GO AWAY"
Second weirdest...I don't know what it is with me ,Christmas... and pin on buttons...It was near the end of the Mork and Mindy series run...I received a "Nano Nano" button from one of my brothers that Christmas...Wrapped up and all real pretty and nice.
At least I didn't get the Christmas gifts my other siblings received, like the small bag of beef jerky, or the light cover fixture...or the plastic red-nose(only), that he must have pulled off of somebody's rudolph, the no longer red nose reindeer..
Now, that Christmas I look back on now and always smile and think of my brother Bob and all those crazy, weird gifts he gave us all...
So, just remember... Weird can be weird and awful, but you still say "Thank You, it's just what I wanted" and give a big hug.
or...
It's still weird, but you say "Thank You, it's just what I always
wanted"...'cause it was the best darned Christmas you ever had, and lived to tell about it...and still cherish the memory to this day.
Oh yeah Bob, I forgot who got the black rock and who got that beautiful stick...but you did do one heck of a job wrapping them all up...thanks for the memories!!!

I had just broken up with my ex-fiancee, in early 20's. My 2 sister's thought they could help me thru my devestation by getting me *rabbit* (um ~ a special toy made for the bedroom couch couch). They wrapped it up and even got a card that was "sorry for your loss, our condolences". I didn't know to laugh, offended, or wonder why would they be sorry for the loss of a *real rabbit*!! hahaha

Just like you I never really received any weird gifts. I thought I was getting assorted greeting cards at my baby shower and instead I received under shirts.

The wierdest give I ever received was from my sister -- a very large poster showing -- from smallest to largest -- of the penis sizes of various mammals. It wasn't cheezy per se, but a legitamate poster put out by one of the major animal societies (don't remember which one). Obviously, it was not something I hung on my wall.
