My grandparents’ best friends used to send my brother & I a gift every year, and one year I remember getting a die cast, Ford Model T pencil sharpener. That was the year that taught me that it was the thought that counts. Then there was this year:

I think it was when I was 12? I don’t know, but I got my first computer. The same one I’m typing this on. (I’m 15)

I got a lawn mower from my neighbor that didn’t like my unmown lawn last year. It was funny.

One year I had a really heavy gift under the tree from my sister. I had picked it up a few times and couldn’t figure out what it was, but it was a fairly big box and I had become pretty excited about it. I’m not sure what I thought it was, but I chose it as my one gift to open early on Christmas eve. I opened it with excitement and…
A gargoyle.
Now, it’s not that I didn’t like it, or wasn’t grateful. It IS kind of up my alley, but I think I had gotten myself worked into expecting something else. I was obviously disappointed, and my sister apologized when my excitement turned into disappointment, which made me feel even worse.
Anyway, I actually love this gargoyle today. I still have it twenty years later, which is more than I can say for many of the other gifts I received that year (or any other year). It’s on a shelf in my house that I see every day. It reminds me to be grateful and not develop expectations that could blind me to things I might really benefit from.
Ok, that’s funny.

When I was younger, my uncle would give me textbooks and workbooks to do over the break. He would then make my sister and i work in the books over christmas break 
Thank you 
This has happened to me loads of times - too often in fact to count lol
But most recent was last year when my gf’s dad and partner bought me as part of my gifts some lynx shower gel and spray.
This is what I got …
Wonder if they were secretly trying to tell me something. 
Needless to say my gf got an additional gift.
The strangest and worst gift I ever got was a letter from my Mom and Step Father… I was at the garage working on my car when they brought it to me. I didn’t think anything of it, but when I opened the letter I was taken back. It was not a gift I wish to have received as it turned out it was An Eviction Notice. So instead of getting money like I had hoped, I got a letter telling me I had to leave the house.
I was surprised because I paid half the rent and utilities along side with them, and I worked 40+ hours a week. But never the less they evicted me on the grounds I was never home. So that was the weirdest and strangest gift I ever got.

You choosing these themes on purpose, knowing how bad things have been…lol
The worst ever 
?
I dont think I’ve had such a gift… I’ve had crap itchy jumpers, cheap soap-on-a-rope, cheap men sets, bit no such gift that I can hand on heart say… Was so bad.
See to me, if someone thinks about me, and gets me something, I think that’s pretty cool and (although) the gift maybe a.little shit, they thought about me, and still decided to get a gift.
As I remind my friends each year on christmas day, on FB …
It doesn’t matter the gift (you can take it back most times without their knowledge), but someone spent time, thinking about you, and spent money on you, It may not be the latest game box, or posh watch, or jewelry or channel perfume bottle, but they went out their way to get YOU something, the least you can do is be greatful 
As a kid my family always tried to surprise me every year with the Christmas presents.
However, the one person that always managed to surprise me was my grandma because she would always get me some funny and weird presents.
She would always give me funny looking clothes and shoes.
That year she gave me a pillow with my name on it and apparently I quite enjoyed it
I feel like your telling me something, like my family will need this soon… Runs back to the gym

The strangest and most unforgettable gift I’ve received was a medieval themed toilet seat that looked like it belonged on a suit of armor. I’m not sure why the gifter thought that was a good choice…
