OK, I don't do Christmas presents, I do Yule ones and those that I send to friends who are not Pagan are opened at a date chosen by the recipient. My son, an atheist, opens his on New Years Day.
One of my brothers has sent me his early, two weeks ago, to make sure they arrived in time, he's overseas somewhere, and he asked me to open them upon arrival as he was worried they might be damaged.
They were not!
I'm not totally sure where he got them from as I've never seen them advertised anywhere. They are three 3D jigsaw puzzles - the locomotive and tender of the Hogwarts Express and the Main Hall and the Astronomy Tower, these last separate puzzles thgat, when completed fit together.
Now, when I am ever going to get to put them together and where I'm going to keep them once built are questions for another day.
OK - What is the most unusual, unexpected, or uinwanted Yule/Christmas/Birthday etc present anyone has ever received?

For my birthday last January I was given an acre plot of land on Mars by my eldest daughter. My girls are saving up to send me to visit it, but will only manage a one way trip! ;D ;D ;D

What a fantastic present! I would love to see how to put them together. What size will they be when completed? And then of course what brilliant imagination and engineering skills to work out the whole idea in the first place! :)
