simplyputsi 0 #1 December 26, 2006 You know the gift you open and are like ummmm ok thanks. Mine was a rechargable handheld spotlight. Now now don't get me wrong I am happy to get any gift, but I was like why did my parents get me this. I will use it, probably on the boat at night, but thought it an odd gift.

monkycndo 0 #3 December 26, 2006 For me, it was two gifts that I had no expectation of getting. I had discussed not exchanging gifts, but the givers didn't listen. The cool part is that they were both simple items I could use and I really appreciate having. The unexpected gifts are the most meaningful to me.50 donations so far. Give it a try.

NWFlyer 2 #4 December 26, 2006 No WTF gifts this year, but one year my brother gave me a water purification system. I am not at all the type to go on long outdoor adventures where such a thing would be useful. It has been sitting in a closet ever since - I might have finally donated it to charity..."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

SkydiveStMarys 0 #7 December 26, 2006 I got a pair of chandelier earrings from my SO's mom that look like fishing hooks. I opened them and she said, "I saw these and thought that if anyone could pull them off, it would be you!" WTF does that mean!!?? Can anyone say, "Regift??" BobbiA miracle is not defined by an event.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Sonicfreefly 0 #16 December 26, 2006 I usually buy what I need or want during the year, so a lot of gifts are items I do not need. So this year I tried something different. I told family and friends to either give me non perishable food items, unwanted clothing or sleeping bags or just cash. I took a drive to a downtown shelter on Christmas Eve to deliver these items. Along the way I saw a family with their young children in the worst part of town giving out food. I thought to myself, those kids are going to be pretty grounded individuals when they grow up. This Christmas meant more to me than any other I can think of.
