I love my mom to death, but she is the most random gift-giver I've ever met. She likes to buy things just because they are on sale (don't get me wrong, I love a good sale, but she will buy a bunch of junk she doesn't need). One year for Christmas, she gave me a pair of bright orange shorts from Old Navy (they still had the 99 cent price tag on them
). I hardly ever wear shorts and I look AWFUL in orange since I'm fair-skinned. She's given my boyfriend a spice rack for his birthday. I've learned to be very specific with her about what I want, otherwise the results could be disastrous!
I also had a very quirky great aunt that would give me things like a single pair of white socks (that had obviously came from a package). Yeah.
