  @CEOofmyhouse56 @PeelerSheila Reminds me of a few years ago, when I had to go along to a friend's kids' birthday party.

  I really didn't know what to get as a prezzie. I ended up picking a stuffed pink unicorn toy that cost maybe $10.

  Fast forward to the party.

  The kids parents and grandparents absolutely spoiled this kid.

  I'm talking hundreds of dollars worth of toys. It was just obscene!

  The living room of their house ended up filled with them. A Barbie doll house that was taller than this kid. A ride-on toy car. Half a dozen battery-powered things that made annoying noises.

  Anyway. Eventually the kid opened my present.

  Hrr eyes lit up. She grabbed it, cuddled that unicorn, and left all the other toys on the ground.

  Her grandma and grandpa were visibly miffed.

  So yeah. Sometimes a cheap, fun toy trumps hundreds of dollars of overpriced plastic crap. 🧸🦄🎁

    Well done! Lol, I bet half that stuff broke within a couple of months. So much waste.
