Teacher Mom Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 4x6 index cards from my 4-year-old neighbor. When she was really sick with the flu, I would put a hand-drawn Snoopy card in the mailbox everyday for her. She wanted to make sure Snoopy could still have "ventures"! She is such a sweet little girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyerin Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 A notepad that works in the shower. The paper is coated, you have to use a pencil, it has little suction cups. I complained to dh that I always remember everything I need to do when I'm in the shower. Ha.My DH got these, too! I thought they were weird. He's thrilled.

Element Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I didn't get anything weird (yet. We still have to do Christmas with my parents this weekend.) but MIL gave ds another travel Yahtzee game. This is the third year in a row she has given him travel Yahtzee, plus she gave him one for his birthday last August. She's not that old, but she does have several grandkids. She must just get confused about whom she has given it to over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyerin Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 My weirdest was a copy of Rush Revere, which I gather is some colonial history book written by Rush Limbaugh? Came from a well-meaning uncle who I suspect wanted to hook me up with a homeschool resource. Anyway, I can't open my mind enough to get past the odd egotistical picture of Rush's head on some colonial figure's body on the cover to open it. Shudder. I'd happily send it to any of you more open minded than me. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 This year from my dad, I got what appears to be a set of mini pitchforks. Apparently I should be using them to to turn a turkey over. My funniest gift ever was from a group of my elementary school students in Poland. They pooled their money and on their own went and bought a mug for me at a local shop. They were so earnest when they presented it to me... What they didn't realize was that it was an 'adult' gift featuring hundreds of colorful little phalluses covering it and saying (in Polish) "you are my big cup" which has a slightly naughty meaning that the kids didn't get. Anyway, I thanked them profusely and later laughed and laughed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
