This time of year is all about giving back and helping out those who are less fortunate. Unfortunately, some people don't understand that there some be some boundaries on what you do or donate to help those folks out.

Today is Giving Tuesday, which has become a "thing" over the past decade. Maybe because some people feel guilty after dropping a bunch of cash on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday.

On top of the many way to help throughout the year, one of the biggest ways people can help is by giving their unused or unwanted items to places like Salvation Army, or Goodwill. Unfortunately, some people give things that most wouldn't want.

There is a list out there that we found, it shows the strangest item people have donated to Goodwill stores. The list was created by employees and customers of Goodwill.

 "Most bizarre items people donated to Goodwill"

1. A guillotine. An employee says they think it went for $30.

2. Bags of groceries. Probably by accident.

3. Literal bags of garbage. And NOT by accident.

4. A basket of taxidermy kittens.

5. A glass jar labeled, "Fart, June 1975."

6. A rock . . . just a normal rock. The Goodwill put an $11 tag on it. It sold.

7. A Louis Vuitton purse . . . with human teeth inside.

8. A tiny toy car that said, "Pizza with bean . . . have you tried it?"

9. An entire cardboard box of original newspapers from historical events, like Kennedy's assassination . . . Nixon's resignation . . . and the Man on the Moon.

10. A glow-in-the-dark Ouija board.

11. A chair shaped like a Labrador Retriever.

12. A dog "sculpture" made out of random metals, including golf clubs, and a bathroom faucet.

13. A coffin.

14. A "fertility idol."

15. "Underwear for squirrels."

16. And a painting of Rosey the Robot Maid from "The Jetsons" . . . showing Rosey posing provocatively. Oh don't worry, we have a photo of that painting.

Here is a full story:

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
