The strangest gifts...

I just got one of the most … umm… interesting, and unique gifts I’ve gotten in a long time… it’s a great little tin, elderly and evidencing a long life. It’s from Scotland, with red and black simple plaid all 'round, adorned for now by a loverly Stewart plaid ribon. It’s Bag Seasoning! :laughing: or at least it was. Now it’s a great reminder of the good humor of my favorite local piping person, to be added to my shelf of ecclecticism. I love it!

So… what are some of the more fun oddments you’ve been gifted at this season??

Does it look something like this?

Yup! Only a little care-worn… or loved… depends on how you choose to look at it. :laughing: … oh, and with the holiday ‘scarf’ of ribbon.

I don’t wanna know how you love bag seasoning… :astonished:

Well, BrainC used to walk funny. Now he walks normal. What more testimonial do you need? :smiley:

That could come in real handy like, after sitting all day in a kayak wearing a dry suit :laughing:

“Feeds and preserves the skin, absorbs moisture & does not harm the reeds … We Guarantee to make any bag airtight which is not actually burst!”

Well… there you have it! :laughing:

and

“Heat till liquid, allow to cool, and pour half the quantity into the Bag. Rub well into the Skin, cork the STOCKS and test. If not tight use more Seasoning.”

Hmmm… and “MUST NOT be boiled”

Well I must say that this thread has taken a turn for the weird. :boggle:
