What unusual or unexpected gift requests did you get this year?

No strange items requested this year. However, one person did make a request in bad taste... Which, I suppose, is strange in its own way. (It was suggested that the expensive gifts for their children weren't enough and I should ALSO take the kids for a day at the ski hill)

Wife mentioned an ad at Sam's for a $3,000 Sauna. I told her "We live in SE Louisiana, I'll build you a cedar box and we'll let nature take care of the heat and humidity part of it." Should be good for 8 months of the year.
But it's on sale starting December 26th for only $1999.

Sounds like a great deal to me!

This is the Christmas wish list of my fiance’s 4 year old, as transcribed by my 11 year old:

Ladybug track
Hatchimals
Slime
Something science like
A hummingbird with a baby antenna and food
Shark
Fish
Dolphin
Squid
Ghost
Yell for party (I asked for clarification on this one, and yes, it is correct)
Toy house window
Snow set

I’d almost forgotten how much fun these wish lists can be

That’s one heck of a MAW. I’ll pick this one up. I think I should have at least two of those things.

My kids, both grown, asked for cash. Not really a surprise, or unexpected, so not sure why I'm even posting.
Wife and I got a roomba and a pair of Jawbone headphones each. (at my request)
Can rock out at work, and still hear the alarms from the computer. Obviously have the headphones early. If you're in the market, Aftershokz are great!
