Dust Bunny Pet Homemade Gag Gift
by Jane
(UK)
I gave this as a house-warming gift. A couple of friends of mine were moving into a new flat, and had complained that the landlord wouldn't let them keep a pet. Not that they had a pet anyway, but it's the principle of the thing, right?
So for the house warming party, I gave them a pet that they would be allowed... a dust bunny! I collected the dust from under my bed (ewww) and put it in a shoe box with some breathing holes punched in, and labelled it "Pet Bunny - my name is Dusty".
As you can imagine, they didn't know what to make of it at all when the saw the labelled box. But when they opened the lid they realised what I'd done and we all had a laugh.
I don't think they kept Dusty though. Poor little guy.
