What's the strangest gift your child has asked for at Christmas?

Kids come out with the funniest of things and I was wondering what strange requests your kids have made (and did Father Christmas manage to deliver?)
:xmastree:

Not so much my kids but I can always remember my brother asking Santa for a compressor one year like my dad used at work on the water board. Dad spent hours making one out of wood and attached loads of lights and switches as it was something you just couldn't buy. It was actually a work of art, didn't cost much and to this day my brother, 41, says it was the best pressie ever!!! :rotfl:

My brother asked a store Santa for a roll of sellotape one year my mum was mortified, my SGD has asked for bottle of coke amongst many other things on her wishlist. My two never asked for anything strange but my then 2 year old told my Dad at 4pm Christmas Eve that she really hoped Santa would bring a dolly in a bath...that was close thank goodness for Woolies.

My son has aspergers so he says a lot of interesting things.:D When he was 8 we went to Lapland and he told Father Christmas that he wanted a monocle. He never did get one, until now, I've just ordered one from Amazon. He's 17 now but he still remembers not getting it.

Mine has asked for some loose tea and a strainer. So she can have a proper cup of tea

my 5 year old ds has asked for a ketchup factory this year so we never run out (I only forgot to buy it once this year - clearly I have scared him for life!!)

My 5 year old has asked for an egg timer this year, other years have included penguins and sandwiches.
My 7 year old still remembers when he was 4 and he didn't get a yoyo, perhaps I should get him one this year

Last year when my daughter was 6 she asked for an elf ..... think she was cutting out the middle man!

Last year my DS asked for magic ball that lets you wish for things you want. Unfortunately I could not deliver. :rotfl:This year he asked for a real Tardis and a baby brother, again I fail! (he's also asked for a spy watch, Father Christmas might be able to do that. )
