Most Unusual Teacher Gift

I bet you didn't realize it, but teachers get the most unique gifts. Here is one that I just had to share with you.

Tonight at a Pampered Chef party (yes, I really know how to live it up), attended mostly by teachers, we were trading stories about our most unusual gifts from students or their parents. Among the ones that made us laugh (along with wanting to cry because most of these gifts come from people that have nothing) were the used date book, the spiral notebook where the mom had written nasty notes to the dad (ex-husband), and a teddy (not a teddy bear). However, "Joanne" had one that was a clear winner.

On the last day of school, a mom of a terrific student in Joanne's class brought her in a beautiful basket of items. The mom explained to Joanne that it was a "couple's basket" because she wasn't sure if Joanne was married (please note that Joanne goes by Miss *****). Joanne thanked the mom and took the basket. When she opened it, she discovered some nice (mostly) items. There were his and her towels, lotions, body scubbers (you know those puffs on a string?), and various other items. As Joanne dug deeper into the basket she discover the two "best" items. The first was a box of OB tampons (You know the kind where you have to use your finger to insert it? Who thought of that anyway? Yuck!) and the second was a thing of Summer's Eve Feminine Spray. Lovely.

Joanne thinks that the mom probably won the basket at a shower or somewhere and regifted it without knowing that those two products where in the basket.

We all agreed that the tampons and feminine spray were the most "unusual" gifts ever. Can anyone beat that? If so, I'd love to hear about it! Please leave a comment!
