I'm a weird person and I give weird gifts.

I typically don't give gifts to anyone outside of my immediate family, but for some reason several women I know and/or work with have indicated they're getting me sh!t this year... so I decided to be slightly considerate and get something for them as well.

Here's what I'm giving :
1) Female : A bag of grits (polenta) with a recipe for shrimp & grits, and a KA-BAR automatic pocket (purse) knife
2) Female : A Browning lock-back folding knife with pink anondized aluminum grips and a box of .40 185gr JHP defense rounds
3) Female : Soap on a rope... the soap is in the shape of a gnome...
4) Female : 4oz can of OC-17 pepper spray and a pint of homemade glogg.

I just realized that everyone I've felt compelled to buy a gift for in reciprocity is a woman... damn women for wanting to buy people gifts.

Anybody else giving weird gifts?

EDIT : Nothing says "yeah, you're a pretty good friend" like a personal defense weapon, eh? I'm not sure what the soap on a rope says, besides "you're short".

Literally. The knife, pepper spray and worst of all... THE SOAPY GNOME OF DEATH.

I've got a videogame named "My Boyfriend" that I bought for $1 (with free shipping) online last year sometime. It's going to be my white elephant gift at the office Christmas party : )

Prime Imperial Member What's the point of wearing your favorite rocketship underpants if nobody ever asks to see 'em?
