Everyone, What Was The Weirdest Cubing Gift You've Ever Received From a Non-Cuber?

A Gan 12 maglev ui lol

I think the weirdest gift I have gotten yet is this orange-shaped-3x3-shapemod, which is surprisingly difficult to solve as the pieces almost don’t differ from each other at all.

Fun fact: One day I oversept and got in a hurry to catch the train, and in all of the chaos, I mistook this thing for an actual orange and took it with me as school lunch. Devious little cube ball.

it was my birthday, and my classmate who is an absolute non cuber, gave me a dollar store cube.
it had the weirdest colors ever and also the weirdest color scheme. it also had numbers on it and was a hell to turn.
thanks i guess...?

Spoiler: we don't talk about what i did to it...

I put in 2 gallons of Vaseline, put in all of my DNM 37 and Weight 5, and dumped it in lake Michigan for about 2 minutes.
that did not actually happen but it sounds funny

it was my rubik’s sphere, it’s kinda ancient now, i don’t think you can buy it anywhere anymore. Last videos i saw related to it was from about 10 years ago

The Christmas after I first learned how to cube my cousin got me a phantom cube. The funny part is I don't even think she knew that I could solve

Do you mean the V-Sphere? I have one lol, I got it on a trip to Baltimore back in 2019 when I was getting an award recognizing me for my math achievements (I got into an online program that I did up until last year that put me way ahead of other kids in my school)

I asked a 4x4 and I got this toy thats lights up with colors and you have slide some plastic plates.

I havent recived this gift but its very related so i figured id put this here.

One of my friends who i sit with asked when my birthday is because obv bros do not know anything about each other (and also cause the 1 time at this school i was in on birthday i didnt really act like it was my birthday for some reason so no one really knew).
I tell him my birthday (April 22nd) and he says whats the biggest cube i have (7x7).
So i tell him this and he smiles and says hes gonna get a giant cube for my birthday (which aint even for like 6 months).
Not weird but cool ig since im too broke to get one myself.

But i do have a weird gift but i forgot what its about and i cant really imagine what it looks like (idk why) but ill reply to this with a photo once i figure out where it is.

Once my friend gifted me a 3×3 from a local store - it had two special qualities: it sucks and it stucks. Basically, one of those cubes that sound like sandpaper when you turn them. It locked up on every move - pretty sure it was made for speed-stopping, not speedcubing.

cube sounded like it wanted to turn into an actual cube and not a turnable one

True! That cube’s turning resistance could qualify as a new WCA event “Endurance turning test.”
