Gift Week, Day Three – Weird Gifts

December 18, 2019 12:04 am

Remember Ralphie’s bunny suit? A well-intentioned gift from a doting aunt, in whose memory Ralph lives forever as a toddler.

I don’t think I ever received anything that strange; one of my daughter’s wedding gifts is a contender: a cookie jar shaped like James Dean that contained a cassette of Boz Scaggs’ tunes.

A brief query of the internet delivers a long list of strange gifts. These are available at Amazon:

TriceraTACO Taco Holder – The Ultimate Prehistoric Taco Stand for Jurassic Taco Tuesdays and Dinosaur Parties

Army Man Bottle Opener

The Original BenShot Bullet Rocks Glass with Real 0.308 Bullet Made in the USA

Perhaps one of these would be the perfect gift for a relative, or last minute secret Santa gift? Maybe this one for your liberal cousin or sister-in-law?

  1. Early in our marriage, my in-laws gave me a pink padded toilet seat. My husband, their son,
    received a yodeling pickle. Sigh!

  2. Last year I gave my son one of those Benshot Bullet shot glasses. This year I gave him one of those little games that are on the table at Cracker Barrel. They are a small piece of triangular wood with golf tees to move around. The one I got him uses bullets to move around.

  3. I bought DH an “A-salt Rifle” for Christmas last year! You load it up with table salt, and shoot flies or spiders with it. He had a grand time shooting mosquitoes last summer. We have really big ones around here.
