Most Surprising Gift

Now that the holidays are pretty much over, most of us have received all of our gifts – if we celebrated a gift-based holiday, that is. So if you did, what did you get that was surprising?

My most surprising gift overall was a Rubik’s Cube from my brother-in-law. I opened it and was truly surprised. But you know… I played it a lot over the past few days. And am still working on it. So it was a surprising gift, but a great one, too. Darn you, Rubik!

I guess my most surprising gift was the Cthulhu plushy pillow that my brother got me. I love it, though. I cuddle with it when I’m sleeping. The evil keeps me warm.

Matching his-and-hers martini glasses.

I don’t drink.

My brother thought he was buying me a Nittany Lion bobble-head. I thought it looked a bit odd, kind of goofy, and upon further examination, I realized it is the LSU mascot.

What is this then?
