I didn't get anything "unusual", but one of the Georgia cousins' 19 year old son got a set of Great Highland bagpipes! One of our facetimes, we got to hear him play AC⚡DC "It's a Long Way to the Top". Make no mistake, in the right hands bagpipes rock! And Great Highlands are loud as hell and need no amplification!

I got an unusual gag gift one time. It was a restroom radio. Was a radio with built in toilet tissue roll holder.

We have three grown up sons with their own houses and families. Every year I get them an unusual, practical, handy tool/gadget that can make their lives easier. Like a snake light, a ratcheting screwdriver, a torx/hex/bit set (it's actually called a whatchacallit kit), a mini plunger for sinks and tubs (that was a big favorite), oscillating tool kit, Stuff like that. One year I actually got them Milorganite (lawn fertilizer).

Actually it's sewage from Milwaukee made into fertilizer

Exactly. Rich in nitrogen. It's been the Golf Course Secret Weapon for years. The Mass MWRA has been trying to get into that "business" for years. But they can't make it profitable.

I got a new clutch. That definitely qualifies as an "Unusual Christmas gift" as manual transmissions themselves are unusual these days.

My wife got an unusual present (for a woman) from me. She has taken up woodworking as a hobby in retirement. She already had several common power tools in her shop like a radial arm saw, table saw, band saw, etc., but didn't have a miter saw. I got her a higher end dual bevel model, and when she saw it, it brought tears to her eyes and said she loved it!

I got a silky gom boy! Its not what your thinking it is, unless your thinking its a folding saw.

i read about silky saws on another forum so i purchased one. Its great it cuts on the backstroke which reduces blade flex, it has hardened teeth and is super sharp.

i gave it a test today we recently had some weather bend down some smaller trees and now theyre in my way, cutting thru a 1” diameter green birch branch took about 5 strokes and less than ten seconds. I cut down a 25’ birch that was about 4” diameter and sectioned it into 5’ sections in about 10 minutes w very little effort.

in the case its about 10” long. I plan to use it to replace the bow saw i take w me when trail riding.

I found 2 boxes at the back door. Each has 12 two pound bags of white popcorn kernels SO 48lbs of UN Popped Corn for Christmas and New Year 2021

Eric had idea to stuff a turkey with it. When the birds "*** blew off" it would be done. LoL
