Nothing too weird. I got a lot of chocolate (every year) and I'm allergic to it. I've told people this several times, so I don't know if they just keep forgetting or if they secretly hate me.

Nothing weird for me. Give the prunes to a shelter or a food bank.

They are very good for you. Your mom was giving the gift of health!! Try lightly poaching them with some lemons or oranges and adding to your breakfast! They are only dried plums....

A used(well.....vintage, lol) tupperware double sided measuring cup! I actually begged my daughter to get it from ebay for me. My mom has one that she has had since I was a little girl, and it brings back wonderful memories for me every time I see it at her house.

MMMM I actually like prunes, so do my kids. But they are kind of weird
I used to have a recipe for an awesome prune cake I can dig out if you are interested.

I got no weird gifts this year. $ was really tight so we concentrated on just gifts for the kids.

littlejo, I most emphatically encourage you to make Grandma Iny's Prune Cake from Pioneer Woman's website, it's so good! When I made it one evening, it disappeared before I went to bed!

To funny!

Nothing to wierd this year, but a few years ago a friend of mine gave me used hair ties that did not "match her daughters hair" and still had her hair in them and then for when I went out a dark black hair piece that had purple in it which also had her daughters hair still in it. She said it did not look good in her daughters hair and they thought my brown hair would look good with it. Guess it is the thought that counts, but it still brings a chuckle every time I think of it.

Your mom must be trying to cure your constipation. HA! Have you been complaining to her about irregularity? Prunes will cure it for sure!

My 8 yo son got a 500 page book "Weird, Scary and Unusual" It came from my Unique stepbrother and his wife. My son... Ummm, Thank you . Made him quite happy with Socks

Nothing like getting a book with skulls, ghosts and death for Christmas.

LOL!! My two boys, 9 and 10, wanted that book for Christmas.

DH gave me two ugly-ass table runners in fake crewel with teddy bears on them. I decorated country and with teddy bears about 20 years ago....but haven't had anything like that in the house for at least 15 years. I'm not sure where he's been living...LOL. DS1 said "um, Dad, what were you thinking?"...personally, I don't think he was.

Husbands really pick out off the wall gifts.
One year mine gave me a big pillow, I swear it looked just like a dog bed.
Another year he gave me a cheap "gold" necklace/watch. I don't wear any jewelry ever at all. Certainly wouldn't wear that.
Last year, well in 2008, I emailed him exactly what I wanted, a Pearl Jam picture book. Sent him the link to get it for me. That year I got exactly what I wanted. That was the only time.
I'm not hard to buy for either. One year my dad asked me for a list and on it was BC Powders, a nice toothbrush, coffee maker, mixer. I get excited over appliances. I'd rather have something I can use over useless crap.
