garbagebagel,

My sister got me these Tiny hands.

Turns out my mom is very very freaked out by them so I had a great time.

As a joke gift my mother-in-law got me a cartoon sized Star Wars pen and a Star Wars activity book. I’m 41.

Joke's on her, that's the best gift.

conciselyverbose,

I got an axe throwing game (plastic axes, so reasonably safe, but surprisingly fun). I would rather the axes weigh a little more, but as is it means it can be put out with other lawn games when families come over without being nervous about kids.

Maple bacon scented candle. It smells alright…I’ve gotten bacon scented/flavored stuff in the past that was awful. Back in the day my sis in law got me bacon flavored marshmallows that made our entire apartment smell like ass. Had to throw them away.

I can never find a tape measure when my mom asks for measurements on something so she gave me a toilet plunger with one chained to it, a hammer with one chained to it, and one with a magnet in it that sticks on the fridge.

helpImTrappedOnline,

Think she’s trying to tell you something else with that plunger.

Thteven,
@Thteven@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, she said I need a plunger to keep under the sink.

Not really goofy per say, but I found it hilarious that my girlfriend got me a boo of dad jokes as a joke present, but then my ex girlfriend (we have a kid together, we’re on very good terms) also got me a separate dad joke book as a joke present as well.

They know me so well.

It seems the economy has hit my entire friend group to where spending money on a gift that is designed to be goofy didn’t happen.

The goofiest gift was a candle with a snow globe on top. The snow globe had no liquid (seems it was made that way) and the candle was enormous and oddly scented.

Very_Bad_Janet,

A Battery Daddy, which stores batteries in a clear case and has its own battery tester inside. It'll probably end up being less goofy and more useful.

MarioSpeedWagon,

Got one last year. It’s verrry useful

BurritoEater,

My 7 y/o got a yodeling pickle in white elephant Xmas. I can’t wait for the batteries to run out. Lol.

DwightAllRight,

A bottle opener that captures and shoots the bottle caps out. Fun little gadget.

brblitz,

An emotional support pickle. I love it

A pullover type hoodie with a kangaroo pocket that’s actually like a real kangaroo pocket. Only has a zipper at the top.

otter,

That sounds greaat

@mihnt@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah but I got a gut so it’s like adding things to the top of the pile, lol.

Still comfortable as hell though.

We got a tiny hoodie for the car’s gear shift lever.

LemmyKnowsBest,

actually like a real kangaroo pocket.

OMG does it lead to your internal organs, to your womb? 😳

mihnt,
@mihnt@lemmy.world avatar

Yes.

Moghul,

Pretty sure a kangaroo’s pocket doesn’t lead to their womb either. The kangaroo moves to the pouch after birth to finish developing.

RandomStickman,
@RandomStickman@kbin.social avatar

True. But it got nipples though.

I don’t think real kangaroo pouches have a zipper. They lack an opposable digit to grab the zipper pull. Real kangaroos use snaps.

helpImTrappedOnline,

There was a test group a few years back for pockets with zippers…they were not well received, so they are preparing to make the switch to zippers in 2026.

Kind of like an anorak? That would be a great design for a hoodie! I find hoodie pockets pretty useless for anything but your hands.
