Joke gifts

    Did you ever get random 'joke' presents when it came to b-days or Christmas etc? Friend of mine's after buying an iron for his gf for Christmas. Telling her to open it first as he's 'put a lot of thought into it' ... that guy's my hero :)

    Another one of the girls wanted to freak her bf out and got him a book of baby names for his birthday. Wasn't there - but can just imagine his face when he opened it.

    Haven't tried it this Christmas - she'd probably kill me ;) ... but anyone else ever get a weird or joke gift from friend/oh ?

    A guy I know proposed to his girlfriend on Christmas day like that. Gave her the box for an iron with the ring inside.

    I got my then current girlfriend a Cliff Richard calender, cheese city:D they were sold out of Daniel O'Donnell ones.

    I was in someones house recently and saw a Cliff Richard calendar on the wall which I'm guessing wasn't bought with humour in mind:)

    Not me, but a couple of years back my da gave my mam an ironing board, he even folded it out and wrapped it up, was blatantly obvious what it was even with the paper on. Another year we gave her a bathroom cabinet but it happened to have some better stuff inside.

    I gave my friend a massive pot of jam once - think it was her 18th birthday, don't remember the significance now but it was funny at the time....

    A friend of mine got a Paper weight for their 18th birthday.

    To shock/annoy me the oul one bought me a gift wrapped six pack of non alcoholic beer. :eek: Never got drank.

    For the work kris kindle I really wanted to draw my Slvakian workmate from the hat. Mainly so I could buy her the two Hostel films ;) (me doing that would be the equivalent of someone buying me a "Englands 50 Greatest Football Goals" DVD, the Hostel films did not go down well in that part of the world :D )

    And the good thing being the DVD would be thrown back in my face, so in effect Id be buying myself a present :p Roll on 2 hours of the beautiful blonde yoke who tricks the lads

    Unless of course my workmate decided to be spiteful and smashed the DVD off her heel right infront of me.....which is probably more likely :p

    my mates have an obsession with buying everyone lube as part of kriskindle presents.we were giving it out one day in school last ear before the christmas holidays and one girl got a sheep talking willy warmer,lube and condoms....got earings aswell but the face on everyone else that was around the room was priceless!

    Last Christmas my brother got me three 'Hello's. It was three sheets of paper placed in a large box that was wrapped with paper obviously. Also he put a brick inside so it would feel heavier. I lol'd but deep down I wanted a present. :(

    I also gave my twin an old crappy brown box for Christmas. He raged until I told him that his actual present was inside the box. Safe to say I laughed my ass off.

    I got my Mam a toilet brush a few years ago. Well I came home the other day and noticed she had just bought a new one, so maybe I should have gotten her another one this year.
