ok, I'm the master of receiving weird gifts, probably due to my bad choice in boyfriends:

- a really ugly clay tea pot, not even big enough to make one cup of tea (I still suspect his mum won it somewhere)

- a not very pretty plant. And everyone who knows me ( u'd think my boyfriend should) knows I'm the worst with plants. It said sth like: this plant stands for our relationship, make sure you look after it and make it grow... blabla.. 2 weeks later it was dead (I overwatered - so much for trying too hard)

- 6 pairs of shoes at once! And again: not very pretty. I gave 2 back right away and of the other 4 pairs I wore 1 ONE time.

Please note: those were my last 3 relationships - so much for it can't get worse :-) Happy New Year everyone!

My grandma gave me a set of hollowed out bulls horns she used to keep above her stove. They are real and they smell awful. As a child she would tell me that when she died I would recieve many of her treasures. Most of which she's already started sending to me from New Zealand. She has written my name on them, things that I will never have a use for and can't throw away! They just haunt me. I just got a package from her for my birthday which included some blank christmas mini cards you put on presents. I guess incase I wanted to regift.

Once...I recieved a mention in a Christmas card. My grandmother sent a Christmas card to my family. In it was $1000 cheque for my parents and a $500 cheque for my little sister. There was nothing for me except for a small footnote at the bottom of the card saying "Tell Jessica I wish her a Merry Christmas". Turns out...she doesn't believe in giving money or presents to grandchildren after they turn 18...

My best gift was probably a book that my friend made that was filled with her own poetry. ^^

I once got for Christmas a clapper....or was that the clap???

Either way, it was a shitty gift.
