Racquelle -> A Box of Ducks (9/8/2008 7:23:38 PM)
Gifts I have received in the past week: A box of rubber ducks - about 30 of them. Several dozen packets of steak seasoning. Smiley-face pen. Celebrity perfume samples. Tickets to see The English Beat (Dave Wakeling is now a chubby football-dad but I still have a crush on him.) A cup of soda. Really, who would think to give a person a box of ducks? Tell me about the oddball things people have given you, just for fun.

DAMN! Sounds like the week from heaven to me! I love getting absurd things like those... aside from tickets to E.B., that's not absurd, that's just plain awesome! >.> Got a spare? [;)] EDIT: Oh, hehe, oddball stuff I got. Syphilis! Seriously! A friend of mine gave me a plushie syphilis microbe! It's awesome! ( http://www.giantmicrobes.com ) Uhh, A box of Vanilla Wafers, a couple weeks back. That was pretty damn cool. A laser pointer, uhm... OH! Transformers toys for christmas a couple years back! That kicked ass. [:D] I'm required to have birthdays, there is no law or rule that states I have to get 'old'.

Think of this though - you can make yourself a sparkly quilt with them.

When "the boy's" mother died his sister collected all the loud floral polyester shirts she wore - her daily uniform, and she made several small lap-sized quilts with them so his young sister and nieces could have something very tactile to remember Grandma by. Emilee was just a toddler but she still remembered how it felt to be hugged by Grandma and feel Grandma's shirts. Now THAT was a neat gift.

That is pretty cool. My partner's mom saved all of his t-shirts from the plays he did in high school and everything, and put them together as a big, soft quilt for him as well as his graduation t-shirt, with the names off all of the graduates. One of the best gifts I've ever seen.

Really, who would think to give a person a box of ducks? i think this is quite a normal gift...my niece used to collect frogs, so all year long i would find frog things, really tacky frog things, really different & oddball frog things & then put them all in a box for Christmas...finally one year she told me she had enough...i don't know what to do with all my free time now...sigh

BKSir -> RE: A Box of Ducks (9/8/2008 9:31:28 PM)

The daughter with the blue hair gave me a Ty beanie baby - a spider - for mothers day several years ago. I still have it. A shovel - i needed one An african grey parrot - he was tired of it. I still have her 3 years later. A sewing dummy - i really wanted it! A wood carving kit - it played heck with my carpal tunnel, so i have had to cut (no pun intended) back on the wood work.
