One of the most interesting wedding gifts we got was “the ugly lovebirds.” There was a whole poem and everything, but the gist of it was, “here’s some ceramic birds you have to put on display in your house for a year. or else.” They were anonymously given to us. They’re not actually all that bad, truth be told.
The strange thing? We’ve got a silent auction going on today at work for charity, and there’s a matching (though perhaps slightly smaller) ceramic bird there. I almost bid on it. But what would we do with three?
If that was the strangest thing you got, you’re lucky
You’re right, we did get lucky where gifts were concerned. We barely had to return/exchange anything, and only one thing that I can think of is getting sent to Goodwill (is that so wrong?). Prince Charming has a friend who returned from his honeymoon to a front yard full of rusted appliances, as a “gift” from his friends. I’m glad my friends don’t like me that way.
Kelly, I’m a sitting here biting my tongue about the “what would I do with three?” comment. But having a good laugh myself. Hee hee.
