There are creative ways to give Christmas gifts without actually buying them.
For Argentina's president-elect Gabriel Milei, he raffled off his last monthly salary as a deputy lawmaker during a live broadcast from the Casa Rosada presidential residence in Buenos Aires on 15 December, five days after he was sworn in as the new leader of the South American country.
A notary supervising the raffle declared a woman named Verónica Gómez the winner of Milei's final salary — 2.1 million Argentine pesos (approximately $2,500), Fox News reported.
Milei has been raffling off his monthly salary and said he will do the same with his salary as president.
For Kensley Mott, 33, of Winter Haven, Florida, her unorthodox way of getting presents for Christmas landed her in jail, where she would likely spend the holidays and her birthday, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said, according to the New York Post.
The pizza parlor worker was charged with grand theft, felony petit theft, and two counts of burglary of a dwelling.
Mott followed an Amazon delivery driver through her neighborhood and snatched delivered packages from the porches of Sun Ridge Village subdivision residents.
With home security cameras catching the looter's face, police tracked Mott to her workplace. When confronted, she confessed to making off with the packages.
"I stole them because I was gonna give them away as presents for Christmas," Judd quoted Mott as saying, NYP reported.
