Most were for LO's first Christmas, but geez! She will have her own tree next year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-weirdest-thing-you-received-this-year#post-470721 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 07:47:31 +0000 T.H.O.U. 470721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love these gifts but they are humorous. Both from my mom whom I love.</p> <p>First my sister and I both get a giant jar of weird face/wrinkle cream. My mom makes sure to tell us that we need to start using it especially on our necks. </p> <p>Then one of the last gifts I open has a note that says"just to remind you that 27 isn't old". Inside there was a cute non-mom shirt (which I loved) and a clip in HAIR FEATHER! It so ugly and gross black and blue! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-weirdest-thing-you-received-this-year#post-470704 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 05:57:46 +0000 DigAPony 470704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, I want Mrs. Bird's shirts too. </p> <p>This wasn't really a bad gift, but I got a set of bath stuff and one of the bottles broke inside my suitcase and leaked everywhere, including out of the plastic bag I had it in. I'm not a big fan of bath stuff as gifts anyway, so today when I was scrubbing and rinsing everything, I was like, "thanks, cousin, for giving me the gift of cleaning up a sticky horrible mess." :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-weirdest-thing-you-received-this-year#post-470648 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 01:19:22 +0000 mrs. bird 470648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: &amp; @softcream: what an awful gift!

I'm pretty sure they're leftover from when TLC was topping the charts with 'waterfalls'. I'd trade these for a tlc album.... Also my ears aren't pierced... Thanks thoughtful gift giver, I'd trade you for the $50 gc I gave you. I'll remember this next Christmas =P </p> [attach=2301/12/mftwvp.450x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-weirdest-thing-you-received-this-year#post-466930 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 18:06:20 +0000 sorrycharlie 466930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: LOL LOL I love big bang theory! omg! that second shirt is bizarre. </p> <p>this thread is making me laugh out loud. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-weirdest-thing-you-received-this-year#post-466923 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 17:50:23 +0000 littleveesmommy 466923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: omg I want that first shirt!

I did get one of those phone attachments for an iPhone that plug in and are the old phone handsets. That's been fun to use. My cousin did send my DH a book on how to be a perfect husband. I am pretty sure it was a joke, but still kind of awkward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-weirdest-thing-you-received-this-year#post-466812 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 16:18:30 +0000 heffalump 466812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: Lol, too funny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-weirdest-thing-you-received-this-year#post-466809 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 16:17:44 +0000 heffalump 466809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of those picture frames that's for newlyweds, it has all those "Happily Ever After" sayings on it.

He saw it in a charity shop and thought it would make a funny present for someone - and I was that lucky someone. Bizzare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-weirdest-thing-you-received-this-year#post-466741 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 15:50:19 +0000 Turd Ferguson 466741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Oh...my. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-weirdest-thing-you-received-this-year#post-466738 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 15:49:38 +0000 mediagirl 466738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This. </p> [attach=251/12/mfpj6q.250x250.BOSTON-RED-SOX-OFFICIAL-14-quot-CHRISTMAS-NUTCRACKER.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-weirdest-thing-you-received-this-year#post-466730 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 15:46:15 +0000 lovehoneybee 466730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ILs tend to put a lot of thought into what to buy us all (this year they bought me a gorgeous apron because I was baking at their house the day before Thanksgiving and was covered in flour), but DH's aunt gave us a teething ring...It's some sort of hard pearl ring? with a silver bell attached to it. It was hers 70 something years ago, and has her birth announcement information on it. It was strange, but she was trying to be thoughtful?</p> <p>My parents sent Evan some really cute toys and clothes, but they sent us a copy of a book my Grams wrote 15 or so years ago. We have 3 copies of it already (and my stepmom knows I do because she called and asked about it a few weeks ago). On the inside cover they wrote that we should check out the dedication page (which includes a dedication to me, my siblings and cousins) as if I'd never seen it before. Not a bad gift, just sort of made me chuckle and sigh a little bit :) </p>
