What is the weirdest or worst Christmas or birthday present you have received?
I got an automatic card shuffler one year and an electronic device to ward off bugs while camping another year. I don't play cards and I have never been camping. It was nice of them to think of me though.

DH and I still chuckle about it once in a while. Since then brothers gifts have been pretty normal, mostly books.
