Candy
$150
Pajamas
The Marvel Comics Chronicles (history of the comics)
Heroes Vol. 1 (graphic novel based on the show)
An XBox 360 remote battery charger
The Office DVD game
A sponge

Probably the coolest are Farcry 2 and the Marvel Comics Chronicles book. The Marvel follows the events in Marvel that shaped it into what it is today. My favorite part is how for each year it shows what was happening in current events in the world and movies that were out that year. That to me is interesting, as comics stay very current with events, and represent how America views things and reacts to things and such. It's cool!

It's from my fiance's niece. Her mom wanted her to get me some car washing stuff, but it stuck to a sponge only... nothing more.

i think that's rather hysterical. "a sponge". HAHAHAHAA... of course, if you really NEED a sponge, could be the best thing you've gotten in a long time.

maybe someone should have made a "stupidest xmas gift" thread. lol

That makes sense then. I'm honestly kind of surprised that you didn't explain that right off the bat. Were you counting on someone asking?

I was hoping to recreate my expression when I opened it and simply smiled at the randomness of the gift! "Oh, thank you, Elli,e for the... sponge..!"

Last year she got me wire cutters. The best one was her getting Brittany's sister a wedding cake topper for when she gets married (she is not seeing anyone and isn't really planning on getting married ANYtime soon, especially a year ago). The best part was that the couple was black, and by far more random than a sponge.

I will be sure to remind her of her gifts she gave when she is older. She's 5 now, I think. Or 6.

Kids are so good. A black couple wedding cake topper is definitely the best gift I've heard of anyone getting this year.

But it was last year's gift. It probably still beats it though.
