Tell Us: What’s the Weirdest Holiday Gift You’ve Received?

I recently came across a gadget called The WineRack, a sports bra that holds 25 ounces of your favorite drink. What's the weirdest gift you've received?

On my recent trip to the mall for some holiday cards, my boyfriend and I discovered this outrageous gadget: The WineRack. It's a sports bra that lets you stash 25 ounces (equivalent to a bottle of wine) of your favorite beverage.

This was one of those “What the…” moments. I’ve seen people sneak flasks or sport beer helmets at tailgating parties, but I was completely fascinated (and disturbed at the same time) by this gag gift.

The WineRack comes with a black sports bra with polyurethane bladder and a tube with an on/off valve to control the flow. It also claims that it enhances your breast size by two full cups.

Hallmark sells it for $36.99 (as of Sunday, Dec. 9), but you can get it cheaper on Amazon for 29.99.

Under the product description on Amazon, it says:

“Take a bottle of wine, a mixed drink or even a fifth of your favorite hard stuff to the movies, concerts, ball games, even PTA meetings.”

And for guys, there’s a male equivalent called “The BeerBelly," which works the same way, but the “pouch” acts as the beer belly.

What are some of the weirdest holiday gifts you've ever received from your family and friends? Tell us in the comments section.

Once I received a box of bows. My mother god bless her heart use to re use wrapping paper and bows. She keep the bows in a cardboard box. For whatever reason the box got wrapped and a tag got put on it with my name. It sat under the tree until I opened it on Christmas morning. After I opened it I put one on my head and couldn't stop my mother from laughing out loud. Over ther years I did also receive two left shoes in a box and a pair of pink leg warmers from my grandmother (I guess she thought a man should have warm legs too).

I don't want it to fail, but it shall, for the reasons I've laid out. Just like the public schools.Read More Indeed, as pointed out numerous times, there are ways for the public schools to be successful. These avenues to success are either actively thwarted by committed, dedicated people (like teachers' unions) or actively ignored (by those, like you, who feel that you can still "fix" a system that is structured incorrectly from top to bottom).

Also, you're addressing a "problem" with this housing project that *does not exist* as IRead More have pointed out repeatedly with real data--there is ample "affordable housing" in SL, and there is even more in directly adjacent (even on mass transit routes) areas like Hayward and Oakland. Typically when "fixing" a non-existent problem, you end up converting whatever fictional problem you're addressing into a real problem of a different variety. This is amply reviewed by the maxim: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." In the meantime, other people are working very hard to address *real* problems indeed, not those of their fevered imaginations.

There's a problem all right. Decent, safe, affordable housing is hard for low income folks to find.Read More I'm not making this stuff up. While you're busy being a critic, others are out there working to solve real problems. Heck, there was a celebration honoring Congregations of Women Religious last Friday. Too bad you missed it, it might have opened your eyes. Those Sisters Rock! They have helped create over 40,000 units of affordable housing.

What brand is the pastry cutter?
Rowena Peñalba June 18, 2013 at 11:27 pm
It's slightly used but I don't remember where I bought it from. I don't see any brand name on it. IRead More just priced it based on the lowest one available on Amazon. If you're interested, make me an offer. Maybe we can agree on it. Thanks for your inquiry.

Leah, do you have the authorization from Disney for the use of the copyrighted Dumbo character youRead More use for your blog? I thought that the policy of Patch was to deny access to non-authorized materials such as this.

Nope.
