Unusual Christmas Gifts?

[sandyRoe]

A friend back from Spain for a few days brought me a large block of local cheese, a kilo of choritzo, and a bottle of Rioja as a present.
I'll get more pleasure out of that that from my other gifts, a scarf and a jumper.
Did Santa leave anything out of the ordinary in your Christmas stocking?

[AlwaysConfused]

yes, a huge chocolate Santa from my boss. I rarely eat chocolate! My old boss knew me well and always got me wine at Christmas.

A really sharp and heavy cleaver for preparing meat and veg for the wok and for chasing folk out of my kitchen.

A treadmill, I struggle to walk any distance outside as there isn't anywhere to rest often enough, so a treadmill will enable me to attempt to get fitter in the comfort of my home where I can stop and sit down as often as needed :)

A globe, now I can see where I am!

[Baldric]

OH is away from last Tues. 'til Sat. or Sun.
She managed to pack my Pressies in the car along with the rest she was taking with her :-(

A skirt - I am male and not a transvestite. An elderly maiden aunt got a little confused. I just hope my cousin - female - has not supped my red wine!

[Captain2]

I have a friend who had very eccentric parents and one year she was asked 'for Christmas would you like an M&S skirt or £2K?'
She didn't need much time to think!

[Daffy6543]

Tambo, i'm 46 years old, there is not a chance in hell I'd be seen in public with one of those! lol.

My MIL spent around £200 on each individual in the family. She bought me a very small bar of Galaxy chocolate.
The strangest gift I received is a parcel of used gingham fabric remnants

[sandyRoe]

Mrs O's gingham remnants knock all the other odd presents into a cocked hat.
