    Me too and so does she. I think it will be funny when she opens a heavy box of about 10 of them.

    I made my BIL a backpack out of fabric with US Dollar bills (All denominations) all over it - very realistic looking. He is not frugal, but a cheapstake - don't think he'll see the humor in it, but we all will.

    ADULT DIAPERS.............yep, for my little senior buddy (from my volunteer thing I do) and I don't know a THING about them. I have looked at them in the store a couple times............and just walked off.

    Doing this as she is only "allowed" X number per month (another long disgusting story here!!) and she is always running out.......and sometimes doesn't have the $ to buy any. So thought this would help.........and I know her well enough to know that she won't be offended.....she will just laugh. DAMN......those things are really expensive!!! ........have to figure out this size thing on them!!

    Great idea MM. Wish I had known.........I have some fabric that has PENNIES on it........would have been a great 'accent'.......

    How about a pic of it?? Would love to see it.

    mauimagic ~ that is such a great idea.....lol my husband and i usually give at least one joke gift to somene from santa. hehe when my sister first got her cane....many years ago...we bought her a joke one. it had a nylon knee high tied onto it, a horn so she could beep, and a few other "old lady" things on it that escape my mind at the moment...we all laughed till we cried...including her. now this thread is about "strangest" and not "funniest" so i will stop here.

    I got my mom a garbage can.LOL. She said that she needed one and I think the reason she didn't get it was the cost. I also got her a dish pan and she said dad needed batteries. The gifts we buy.
