I suppose I should start off with something:-

my son gave me his snake's first shed skin for a mother's day gift one year.

For my birthday just gone, one of my friends bought me a set of Muji walkie talkie's so we could chat during and cut down on phone bills. As he works in Shepherds Bush and I work in Bloomsbury I realised very quickly it was going to be a non-starter as the working radius of the walkie talkies is 500 meters.

To make things worse, half of the chocolates were filled with curry power. CURRY POWDER!

Someone bought me a cottage pie once, it was my birthday and i was at work, this guy who had a reputation for weird presents bought me a frozen cottage pie. Previously he had taken part in the office secret santa and bought the supervisor a house brick

Had a few classics from my aunt - sharon osbourne book/england football and scotland 1990 grand slam rugby top in 1998 - bless her

A bottle of olive oil with herbs growing in it ...

My friend gave me a promotional whirlpool/ariel t-shirt which he got through the post for some reason.

Probably the best present I ever had.

I was given a pet carrier once.... er, i didnt have any pets at the time

a blow up sheep! im not kidding either! just glad it wasnt a
