Today’s Fun Friday question comes from @Kseniya (Thank you!):

What’s the craziest/weirdest “Secret Santa” gift you’ve ever received? If you don’t celebrate Christmas or just don’t have any good stories, feel free to share any other noteworthy gifts!

My weirdest one, I was once given a mini cactus, and a toilet roll! :joy:

Mine was a ‘Grow a chilli plant in a can’ Unfortunately, it never grew and it looked like there were no seeds in it.

To avoid this every family member is writing a kind of wish list.. :joy::joy::joy:  So, everyone gets something he or she wants. Sometimes there are  some big surprises nonetheless, but there is some orientation :sunglasses:

I was given an insultinator once, it even has a choking warning since you wear it around your neck :)

The quotes on the packaging already make this look like a gift I will ask for this Christmas 🤣

I just don’t know if “dirty turd sack” really scores the penalty nowadays :). I don’t think the youth of today even know what a turd is.  Even if they do then there is the logical issue here of can a turd sack ever be clean to begin with? So instead of instigating disgust and anger alas the Insultinator pushes one towards philosophical contemplation :).

My weirdo gift was an automatic pencil.

I bought an awesome gift and I only received that… Was boring!
