Are we talking the most unusual THOUGHTFUL gift or the one that makes us shake our head wondering what the other person was thinking...?

I was given a pair of "hunting pants" from Cabelas once from my wife's Grandparents. Not that unusual because both my brother in laws got them too, but I don't hunt. In fact, they often discuss how I don't hunt around the dinner table, while the others are out hunting.
I exchanged them for some sweatpants.

Whenever my parents go overseas they always bring me back some kind of OVERpriced/cheesy item...sometimes it's an all-wool sweater that doesn't fit...Recently they brought me back a luxurious, leather....FANNY PACK from Ireland... 
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING??" I screamed....(don't worry, they're used to these types of reactions from me).
and there are WAAY too many bad Christmas presents stories to share...

The last few Christmases have been pretty tame (or I've blocked out the unusual gifts) but I did get a series of puffy painted applique Christmas sweatshirts a few years in a row....
