Most offbeat Christmas gift?
#23
The most unusual gift I ever got was a butt warmer from my nephew's husband! It was a long sheet of aluminum that had wooden posts connected to each end of it. You hooked the post at one end through the back of a camp chair, then ran the aluminum under the chair and hooked the post at the other end in front of the front legs. When sitting outside in front of a fire, the aluminum would reflect the heat onto the back of your legs and onto your bottom. I think it's still one of my favorite gifts I ever received! 😃

I think the most offbeat gift I have gotten has to be the musical cocker spaniels I got one year! we did not have that bread of dogs and I am a cat lover! I still laugh whenever I see it. It is on a shelf in the guest bedroom!

I tend to get very off beat gifts since my husband and I are both car enthusiasts. One year I got an electronic ignition for my 66 Mustang and I was thrilled! lol. Left some people speechless when I told them.

carolaiken, I love your butts! I think I'll ask for a pair for Christmas. I already have a pair of mallards and a canadian goose decoys living full-time in my pool. These being gifts from DH many years past of course. But I don't think they're strange at all

Years ago A casual friend gave me one of those large round tins of assorted pop corn separated by dividers vs. individually bagged. She liked the tin so much that she asked me if she could keep the tin! Flabergasted ......i dumped the popcirn in a tub and handed the tin back to her. Yes, she continues to be wierd. Let me knw if you want to hear about the wedding gift she gave us. She is a very smart woman with zero social skills. I have to just shrug it off. Sad.
