I got a bucket of paint from my parents a few years ago. Not the only gift that yr from them but still, paint, because they didn't like the color of a wall. WTF

At 28, I got a pair of Tazmanian Devil socks, they were wrapped in their own separate package.

Edited to add: they were from my Mom.

When I was 10, I got a pair of Dallas Cowboy tube socks from my Texas Aunt and Uncle. Not being down with getting clothes for Christmas and a Steeler fan, I was most unhappy.

My 17ing in-laws got me and my wife a plant at Thanksgiving. The plant requires food/water (obviously) and is supposed to bloom right about Christmas.

So essentially, they gave me more chores to do. Thanks for nothing.

When I was 12, my grandmother gave every male in the family some nasty smelling powder and a hair brush. After my uncle saw 3 of us get the same thing, he exclaims "Great, I don't even have to open mine!"


The year before that, we all got soap on a rope.

I got a three-pack box of panties from my Grandmother. Mis-labeled, thankfully.

I once told my mother that Stetson aftershave reminds me of my dad. I have gotten Stetson aftershave every year for almost twenty years.
