My uncle gives the weirdest shit ever. One year he gave my teenage brother a whistle, like the kind coaches wear. I think that was the same year he gave me a tropical bird mobile. He gives one of my aunts a Chia creature of some sort every single year, though she has never asked for one. Last year my stepkids got to share a little stuffed turkey that makes really accurate turkey noises when you squeeze it.
I'd like to think that it's all a running joke with him, like he's laughing at all of us on the inside, but over the years I think I've come to the conclusion that he really is just an idiot.
