I gave my wife syphilis for Christmas.
It was a cute little stuffed toy, representing Treponema pallidum, the microbe that causes syphilis. It's snake-like, coiled, pink with little eyes. It comes with a card attached so that there is no mistaking what it is supposed to be.
I gave it to her just so that I could say to everybody we know, "I gave my wife syphilis for Christmas."
