I am so bad about telling people what I got them or giving them hints. I can't help it! I nearly gave my friend a hint that the item I got them was a consumable. I restrained myself though, and that's why I've come here to tell you.
You guys won't tell her what I got her, will you? Of course, you don't know who she is!
I got another friend a coffee mug. I still need to buy two or three more presents.
The dry seasonings and barbecue sauces were bought through etsy. I know some people aren't comfortable with buying foods online, and especially from people you don't know personally.
What is the weirdest gift you've received?

Not sure I have given any weird gifts, but last year or the year before I gave my friend a mug that was shaped like a camera extension lens. He never uses it either..and I thought it was so cool..

aw poo! I know how you feel. I gave a friend a candle a few years ago that she never uses, the same with a set of coasters. Of course the coasters were more flimsy than they appeared in the listing online.
THe camera lens mug sounds cool!

@ScribbledAdNauseum Yeah, I mean he could pretend to like it for my benefit..
That is frustrating when the stuff you buy online, doesn't live up to expectations, especially if it is for a gift.

@snowy22315 Yes, it doesn't hurt anybody to act as if it was a great gift, even if the recepient doesn't really think so.
Keep your fingers crossed for me. I have ordered some barbecue sauces and some seasonings from an etsy store. I am hoping my friend will really like them.

I try to give based on something they might need or might use. Too often gifts are given and then just put in a drawer somewhere.
I'm being good. Atleast I don't have to wait until the 25th. We're doing our Friends-mas on the 23rd this year.

I got a Leg lamp from the movie a Christmas story once as a Christmas present.

I think i would have kind of loved that, to be honest. Though I'm not sure I'd ever use it, I'd kind of love that.

@ScribbledAdNauseum it was awesome. It was also years ago so I don't have it anymore. The other half made me a wooden TARDIS this year for my birthday and a computer desk.

The BBQ sauces I ordered on the 5th? I've had no contact with them. The other two have already been shipped out. if I don't hear anything by tomorrow then I am going to have to contact them. If I don't hear anything by the 10th? I'll have to request my money back and try something else. Just frustrating.

@Courage7 Me too! I don't mess with a store if I haven't seen a review recently and if the review isn't good. The last review was in November, but I still thought "okay that's recent enough." We shall see.

Received - handkerchiefs. Proper old lady embroidered handkerchiefs. Not really weird but also not really something you give a twenty-something year old.

That sounds like something a great grandmother would give their grandchildren. It also seems like a wedding favor like the "something old / new and something borrowed, something blue.
It's something I would appreciate more now that I am in my 30's but as a 20 something? Nah, I'd have put it in a drawer somehere and forgotten about it.
