As I do every year, I thought I'd go ahead and document the gifts my grandmother gave me after "shopping in [her] closets" this year. As an improvement over previous years, I'm offering photos. Clicking the gift's name should take you to a photo.

• Throw Pillow -- all the male cousins got throw pillows this year.
• Holiday Package of Double Mint Chewing Gum
• Tie and Desktop Organizer -- These two seemingly unrelated gifts were wrapped up together, so they're pictured together.
• Package of Six Low Rise Sport Briefs -- All the male members of my extended family got these. My grandmother claims not to have realized that they were low rise. She does admit to not remembering that she had already bought some under garments for the Christmas piles, so many of us got this item and the next one in the list.
• Christmas Boxers
• Brookstone Calculator -- It "calculates in colors." This means that the screen changes colors with each button press.
• Cardinals Hooded Sweatshirt
• Guy Laroche Cashmere Scarf -- Unfortunately with the security tag still attached, so I had to spend some time with a pair of linesmens pliers crushing the tag apart.
• Shower Radio
• Cutter & Buck Wine Carrier -- When I first opened this, I was more than a little confused, as I took it to be some kind of odd-shaped purse.

Fortunately, this wasn't my full Christmas haul, just the wacky gifts.
