Have you ever received a useless gift and wondered what a waste of money it was? SAME!
A few painfully stupid books and funny tasting chocolates later I thought it best to ask my friends to give me an online gift card and my family for money if they ever felt like showering me with gifts! Because, might as well buy things I like instead of piling my room with gifts I hate or will never use, right?
Speaking of which, people on Twitter are talking about the weirdest gifts they have even given/received, reports Hindustan Times.
It started when one used popped the question:

Knee pads from an ex. I honestly didn’t get it in the moment, but everybody else did which only made the gag gift funnier (at my expense).
Key word: ex

For my first birthday dating my husband (when I turned 20), he made me a life size scarecrow of himself sitting in a chair and holding a sign that said “Happy birthday!” He was very proud. It was so weird.

Oh man I’m so glad I remembered this. When we were little, my sister got a small, empty gumball machine, filled it with m&ms, wrapped it and put it under the Xmas tree for me. A few weeks later on xmas morning, I opened it and 50 million ants came pouring out. I screamed a lot

Over the past few years I’ve received 4 or 5 “Weird facts to read whilst you’re on the toilet” books.
Not so weird individually, but cumulatively I’m coming to the conclusion that everyone thinks I’m full of shit.

An elderly neighbor gave me a gold plated mermaid clock which had enormous breasts several years ago. To her, it was beautiful and my son who was 10 at the time loved to stare at it. I'd hide it in the hall closet and only take it out when she visited. 😂
