What’s the most inappropriate gift you’ve ever received?
A treadmill from your boyfriend? A packet of condoms from your grandma? Colourful hair clips from your husband’s mum that look like they’re for a 6-year-old girl? A discman?
How would you react if someone gave you a pole? Stripper’s pole, that is. Would you say ‘thanks but no thanks’? Or would you set it up in the backyard, don some high heels and, you know, mount it?
In a recently interview, Stephanie Rice let is slip that she once owned a stripper pole – that was given to her by a family member.
The Herald Sun reports:
The revelation didn’t come via Twitter, the Olympic swimmer’s main method of communication, but through an interview with Triple M.
“I did do some classes and I made one of my family members buy me the pole because I was, like, well this can be cross-training exercise,” Rice told the radio station.
“But I don’t have it any more.”
Have you ever received an inappropriate gift? Have you ever given someone something bizarre?

A few years ago my then boyfriend bought me a pink rabbit vibrator and a trophy saying "world champion tits".
Sadly for him, the vibrator was more fun than him. And the trophy has provided many laughs since.
I have received sooo many dud gifts and decided enough was enough. I have just launched (as in days ago) the beta version of a new site called mygivee.com that allows you to easily track and share what you want so that friends and family can get you what you really want. So if you really wanted a stripper pole, then you'd be able to ask for it :)
That is a great idea. There should be a site where you can say what engagement ring you want so your boyfriend can pick the right one when the time comes!
