or some call it 'White elephant'.

Any good gift stories?
Our party is this afternoon. We had a $10 limit.
Last night I went to the ABC store and picked up a bottle of Crown Royal ($8.50)
Then I went next door to the Dollar Store and got a off brand box of 'Korn Flakes' with a goofy looking rooster on the cover for $1.

I opened the box from the bottom removed some of the flakes from the bag and inserted the bottle and resealed everything. From the top it looks 'factory'. I then wrapped it up real nice with a bow.

Some early birds have been browsing the gift table, somebody shook my gift and commented,
"Looks, like somebody's getting a puzzle this year".

I don't know how I'm going to play it yet, it depends on who picks it.

 

Nicely done...looking forward to part 2 of the story.

 

We use to do this every year with my family, until my wife gave an old enema(sp) bag that was found at her grandfather's house when he passed. Needless to say we don't do that anymore

 

We have a buidling xmas party here and as part of it we do a gift exchange. The fun part is that there are only 2 rules. 1) everyone is given a number and they get to choose according to their number and 2) you can 'steal' a gift from somebody else and then they get to pick another one. The stealing can keep going and going and going especially when the gift looks like a bottle of booze.

 

I gave a box of plastic speculums one year. At the bottom was a gift card with double the limit of what we were to spend. No one tried to steal their gift. After it was over, my brother-in-law was pi$$ed! I then told him to dig around and look further.

For those that dont know what a speculum is...

They are used for gyno exams of the "who ha". I had them laying around in my garage.

 

We have a four pass limit, and we actually unwrap when we pick
the gift so everyone knows (or thinks they knows ) what it is.

 

We do a White Elephant exchange with our friends. One year I opened the gift my brother and his wife brought. A "marital aid" packet with a whip, plastic handcuffs, a feather and some other crap. It was perfect that I picked that gift because everyone in our group thinks it's the funniest thing that I am totally grossed out at the idea of my brother having sex. I'm sorry but be it my brother, my dad, uncles..... they just DON'T do it. Anyhoo, the next year my sister-in-law picked that gift and everyone laughed for like 15 minutes.

Wow, doesn't seem as funny typing it out as it was at the time.

 

What's this? Goat herders in China as well?

 

Brothers, sisters, cousins, etc don't bother me, but mom and dad....... That's another story, I've convinced myself that all of us were adopted...... because mom and dad don't do that. Everyone likes to tease me about it, including my wife.

 

THANK YOU!!!! I'm glad I'm not alone. I literally dry heaved one time when someone thought it would be funny to say that my dad got roadhead on his way from Idaho to visit us.

 

Thank you very much.

It's been a while since I puked in my mouth a little bit, and I needed a reminder of just how disgusting it is.

 

hahahaha I'm glad I could spread the joy!

 

Nope defiantly not alone....
I don't get sick simply because I cant even imagine it, I am 100% happily delusional that they can't/don't do it.

Now that being said...
One christmas, "before I was totally delusional" after I moved out, 2 of my brothers were still at home.
They all went Christmas shopping. My brothers went off together and mom and dad went off. I'm guessing my 2 brothers were 15 and 16, or close to that. After some time, my brothers were going into Spencers to look around. They found Dad at the register as they walked in buying some lotions and toys and stuff......
I'm guessing a little awkward moment, dad just smiled, my brothers were and are physcologically bruised. It disturbed them enough they had to come talk to me about it.
After I finished dry heaving at the thought, I told them it had to be a weird dream or something that they both had........ Then I went and got us all a shot of whiskey.......

 

I would have vomited on site.

 

They were minors, 15 and 16, they didn't need much....
I didn't see it, so I didn't need the help convincing myself it never happened as bad.
