  • Hi Late to the party here.

    Not a Xmas gift but my late MIL gave me a bag of USED hair rollers for my Birthday so I could 'spruce myself up'.

    What a kind and thoughtful gift !

    LOL One year when I was a child we got sprouts in our stockings, turned out Santa had a few drinks before sorting them out, couldn't remember where the apples were and decided as sprouts were green they would be a great substitute. We had to give them back for dinner!

    My aunt and uncle love to give unique gifts but this years were definitely in the 'weird' group. We got this

    We also got the matching teeth and eye. I have no idea what to do with them other than wait for the summer and put them in the garden, either they'll scare off the local children or they'll be pinched within a week!

    They are frikking hilarious! I love the teeth ones!
  • A few years ago, my sister sent my kids some sachets which were samples of aloe Vera toothpaste and aloe Vera skin cream. Never worked out what that was all about?

    I know someone to who I want to gift the gift of having gifted poop next year! Its the perfect gift for this person. I didn't know it was possible to gift poop, but, perfect!

    Does she use that kind of thing herself perhaps? My OH has just bought non fluoride toothpaste.
