Good grief. We have an older TBM couple that live down the block. Nice people. They live for the church. Every year the wife gives us a little gift. Usually a small plant in a decorated little terra cotta pot, or candy or something. Came home tonight to find a cellophane wrapped bottle of "Fabulosa" cleaning liquid and two scotchbrite sponges.With a printed gift tag "Have a Fab Christmas". What the Hell? Is this the official relief Society craft Christmas gift? Jeez.

That's just weird.

Give them a bottle of Pledge and say, "Pledge not to make crafty gifts from cleaning products" on the tag.

I think these people might appreciate a pack of Charmin with a note that says, "Enjoy the go this Christmas."

You've been placed on the chapel/bathroom cleaning rotation. They were merely being helpful and bought you a starter kit. Wait for the official assignment text, and have fun on Saturday!

You could give them a few little coins from Chuck E. Cheese , two "For Sale" signs, and throw in a couple of those yellow and red soccer cards.

Card reads: "Here are some tokens, signs, and penalties."

The only problem with this idea is that you’d need to buy the “for sale” signs. In order to do that, you’d have to go to a store and look for the signs. We all know that seeking signs is wicked and adulterous.

Do you give them something in return? I suggest a nice Christmas card and a bottle of wine.

That's what my kid suggested. A bottle of wine with a printed "Have a Winederful Christmas" card.

You need to return with the gift that keeps on giving: toilet brush.

Here's a toilet brush that would be a great gag gift.

Fabulosa is crap. There isn't any "cleaning" ingredients in that stuff. That's what cheap places use to clean.

That's part of "the smell." Everyone complains about.

What a dumb ass thing to put on someone's doorstep.

I like the Pledge idea! Spot on!

They give the same gift to about 8 of us neighbors. Since 1/2 of them are mormons, I'm guessing this wasn't a ward idea, otherwise they'd be exchanging the same things. Just strange.

I can top that:

One Christmas my TBM younger brother gave me, his apostate brother, an empty whiskey bottle (all gift-wrapped) that I suspect he had found discarded in some alley in town.

"MLM inventory" was my first thought, too. LOL.

Actually, I can't think of a more spot-on gift for a Mormon to give, that represents what the Mormon church is all about.

One year my sister-in-law gave me a bottle of lotion from Melaluca it was the large economy size. She didn’t have tissue paper for the gift bag so she wrapped it in toilet paper. It was so odd that everyone stopped and just stared. I was speechless, without missing a beat she starts going on and on about what a wonderful lotion it is and better than any you buy in stores.
We no longer do Christmas together as a family after the parental units passed on, but each year one of my kids will bring it up. We all have a WTF moment and laugh. As we say here in the south “ bless her heart, she don’t know no better”

I would be insulted. Im sorry. For some reason normal clean is treated like youre hoarders by LDS.
Korean sponges would be more appreciated.
