    This wasn’t for Christmas but my mom is a teacher and she recently got possibly the oddest gift from a kid that she’s ever received: a cutout photograph of a pufferfish from a pop up book. The combination of the weirdness of the gift, the derpiness of the pufferfish, and it’s pop up nature make it really funny to us and we have it on our mantle, where it can be worshipped like the deity that it is.

    Story #8 is so sad. OP I'm so sorry that happened to you and I sincerely hope you're in a better family of your own choosing now.

    When I was 8, my aunt gave me a pink bedspread with ballerinas on it. I was a tomboy. What I really wanted was a chemistry set. I was also a nerd at this very young age.

    My ex-fiance gave me a christmas mug filled with candy I hated. I had spent months paying very close attention to what he liked and got him a stuffed dog wearing soccer attire in his team colors (he was on the soccer team). I tried not to be disappointed, but I was happy when It broke a year later because of my cousin.

    All the females in the family passed around an elastic topped sundress for literally YEARS! Then the one where the stepdad signed them up for toys....reminds me of my aunt....she doesn't even remotely NEED free food, but she will make SURE she gets as much as she can. Drives me NUTS!

    In 1978, My grandma gave me a jar of peanut butter, a jar of dill pickles and a can of tuna.
    I was 10 and was told to look happy with the gifts. The peanut butter was half used and the pickles fizzed on your tongue. The tuna was in date code. However, 46 years later,I still have that. And no, I am in no way interested in tasting it

    Make-up and nail polish for someone who can’t stand wearing it longer than a minute and bites her nails.
    Also, a Minnie Mouse lunchbox riding a unicorn. I was 16 and much more interested in dragons than horses.
    Hilarious one was a book explaining how Noah’s ark would have worked, contradicting itself in the process. My great grandmother had her jaw dropped when I told her all religions had a flood story and that the Christianity version wasn’t the first one.

    My grandma’s friend with crazy red claws for nails went on a vacation to Rome where she met the pope and she brought me back a figurine of St. Augustine, then got pissed when I treated it like a Spiderman action figure because I was 6 lol. Like what did she expect me to do with it? 😭

    My parents one year got us each a big box of tuna fish cans. For food storage I guess. I just ate tuna sandwiches until it was gone. Thanks….I guess. What a weird gift 😂

    Came out as trans, decided to live full time as a woman and left work at classic car restoration specialist workshop. It was the talk of the town for weeks unending. And then got books on classic car restoration as a New year's gift (in Serbia we do New year gifts instead of Christmas gifts).... Turned out my uncle and aunt went to UK and bought the books for me 7 months before I decided to come out, to openly live as a woman and leave car business, but simply forgot about the books and gave them to me at the wrong time.

    Once Christmas, my grandma gave me a couple of disney sing along tapes with a book (Beauty and thr Beast Christmas and Cinderella). I was a 12 year old boy. My brother (14) got a white sweater with teddy bears on it.

    One Christmas my aunt gave me my cousin's used chapsticks. She even happily told me how they were all used. Inside I was so digusted but I just said thank you and threw them out when I got home

    Not for Xmas but the most disturbing gift ever came from my mother.
    A headstone on my future grave. Engraved with my and my ex husbands birthdays and a dash, waiting for death date.
    So I'm never having it completed and will live forever on a headstone I never asked for, wanted or would ever use.
    Scattered ashes and imagined immortality in Lunenburg Ontario 🤣🤣🤣

    God .. I remember my fathers new wife. She thought she could connect with us by making home made gifts. The one for me was some type figure made out of a dough and something else mix (so it would harden and not rot over time), mounted on a plaque with words about togetherness makes the home (or something like that). And being eighteen I was smart enough to thank her and ask questions about how she managed to make it and the time put into it, which pleased her, and pleased dad. And then it somehow got lost after getting back to college amazing how that happened. Oh those freshman dorms all sorts of things happen.

      Sounds like she was trying to be a good stepmom. Im glad it was a silly gift and not like some of these horror stories about abuse and neglect! Hope you repaid her in kind with silly homemade things!

    I once got my brother a copy of Green Day's Nimrod for his birthday a couple of years ago but I bought it used and forgot to check the disk before I gave it to him. It wasn't Nimrod but rather Aerosmith's Nine Lives.
    Look up the CD to understand my embarrassment.

    A glitter barbie pink female cruiser bike which cost 10 times more then the racing bike that I wanted for triathlons. When asked why? They said I was a girl so they got me a girl bike instead. Was told since I was in girls triathlons and it would tell the lesbian in my sport that I was not a lesbian.

    Ok it wasn't in the sense of buying it for herself in the sense you'd think. But my Grandmother would occasionally buy her grandkids things she was interested in or wanted to try and saw it as a potential activity with us. Ok it was gifts that were age and "gender" appropriate, didn't get anything meant for much younger kids. Although Harry Potter didn't feel like it in my mid teens, maybe before a year before the first movie came out and was determined to have grown out of kids stuff at the time, but just thanked her anyway. Nearly 25 years later, I grew out of acting like that and leave people thinking "grow up", so maybe she was on to something. And yeah once that passed Harry Potter did grow on me, but JK Rowling can go fudge herself. I don't condone or support cancel culture but I am LGBT and very supportive of my fellow members, including the trans community.
    Don't remember any other examples along those lines. Although she did once think all her teenage/ adult grandsons liked the show Heroes and got us T-Shirts from the NBC store in New York. I did and wore that Hiro T-Shirt a lot but my brother was left confused by getting one that said "Sylar stole my brain" lol.
    Fast forward to a few days after the last Christmas before she passed, walk in on my Mum and Brother playing a 20 questions like card game. Wondering what they were doing I listened in and at some point my Mum goes "guess who bought him this."
    Somethings never changed while she was here.

      Ok to her credit that Sylar T-Shirt would have matched my brothers sense of humour if he had seen or had been a Heroes fan.
