69% of Americans wish that they could never buy a present again. When there’s tons of pressure to find the perfect, thoughtful gift that proves you know someone better than their mother, it’s easy to understand why holidays are more stressful than fun.

Some people collapse under this pressure, and the results are disturbing and hilarious. Read on to discover 10 of the weirdest gifts people have actually given someone.

1. A Jumbo Pack of Toilet Paper

If you’re looking for great gag gifts, consider giving your friend a hefty supply of toilet paper. If you want to show someone how you really feel about them, give them one-ply. They’ll hate the gift, but at least they can use it. What’s more special than thinking of someone every time you go to the bathroom?

2. Weirdest Gifts for Hannibal Fans: a Lampshade Made from Human Skin

New Orleans is known for its ties to the occult. One man happened to buy an innocent lampshade only to discover that it was made from human flesh. Instead of burning it, he gave it to a friend.

3. Roadkill

One internet user named Kyle confessed that he once gave half of a dead squirrel as a gift. If you want to know which half, that fact remains a mystery. We do know that the squirrel was named Murray, though.

However, in this case, the grandma believed it was a fashionable dress and really was trying to be sweet.

8. A Sponge Holder

If you want a reputation for giving unusual gifts, you should invest in a sponge holder for that special someone in your life. It’s unclear as to why someone would need access to more than one sponge, but this gift could be a blessing for neat-freaks.
