When our sons were young back in ‘03 we picked up these RC battle bots for their Christmas, installed the batteries the night before to “test” only to find out the remotes will shoot low voltage into your hands when your bot gets hit. So hard it gives you a wrist strap because you’ll drop the controller as a reflex to the pain.
Like good early twenties hipster gen x parents we gave it to them anyways as a lesson in grift shock!
I hadn't heard the ugly sweater idea, but it made me think of the scene in the pro shop from 'Caddyshack': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmEV1d7RPvg
Haha that scene is hilarious
I've been giving cookbooks as gifts for years. Never realized it could be taken as an insult...
I have too. My guess is it's all in the presentation lol
Love the sweater idea Thalia.
