What is the most odd item you've wrongly received on an order?

I don't think i've ever got anything that odd/exciting by mistake :(
I've had the wrong volume (too many/few items), wrong food in a restaurant, dodgy substitute grocery items etc but nothing terribly random that I can recall.

Should have RMA'd that. Might have been sent a more recent model.

The problem is the next guy comes along scouring the warehouse deals for "used - very good" condition, "item may have minor cosmetic damage or be missing some accessories" - sounds great on paper, less good when it turns up with wrinkled packaging, loose fittings and smelling like a teenagers bedroom.
 
Got a bottle of rum from Amazon. Amazon told me to keep it. Was my house number but no street name matches it around here.

Ordered a docking station for an old Pod about 8 years ago and got a kettle.
 
An update on the OP situation.

It seems the tissues just arrived.

So I don't know where this doll and cards have come from. I've had no order opened with Amazon for that.

Looking online, I'm thinking this is part of a brushing scam.

We've had countless electronics and other item for Amazon over the years. No name but correct address on the package. At first I used to call Amazon to complain/make it known what had happened but they weren't interested just saying 'It's a gift item' so we look forward to whatever arrives now. bluetooth headphones, wireless door bell system, phone cases, torches, and a whole range of others that I can't remember now.
 
Ordered some ortleib cycle panniers from Germany and received thousands of pounds worth of high quality hairdressing supplies - scissors, thinning shears etc.
I forwarded it on to the original buyer, who let my sister (hair dresser) take her pick as a thank you.
 
Probably the oddest was a very small Brabantia Kitchen bin (small plastic worktop type thing, I assume for food) and a Crypto Hardware Wallet in the same box a few years ago.
Gave Amazon their chance to collect it but ended up keeping the Wallet, I think the bin is still kicking about somewhere too.

Oddly this week I almost ended up with someone elses OCUK package (DPD's fault) - turned up with two boxes, 1x was clearly my new MSI Monitor but another box with the OCUK tape on it, I just caught the guy as I read it noticing it wasn't mine.
No idea what was in it, sure it would have been good!

Ordered a frying Pan, and received four frying pans. And something else I can't remember what I order but it certainly was a Tina Turner CD
 
Ordered a LG sound bar & sub-woofer kit from Very (they were the cheapest I'd found it). They sent 4 but invoice only stated one and I was only charged for one. Contacted Very and they checked their inventory and told me they were missing any nor had any complaints of missing deliveries. They then flatly refused to return them as the serial numbers weren't on their system & as far as they were concerned they didn't exist. Gave one to my mate and flogged the other 2 for £20 less than retail each.

This was 5 years ago now and I've heard nothing more

I keep getting random items from Google. So far:

3x Home mini
2x Home Hub (non-screen)
1x Home Hub (screen)
1x Google Nexus 6
1x Google Pixel 2
1 x Google Nest Thermostat (but not any of the connecting hardware for the boiler side)
Various Google Play Gift card codes

These all started arriving about 3 months after I completed a beta-test program for Google Apps for Business.
