This is a serious gift. The gift of education. Of learning. Perfect for the kid struggling with math. Not that I'm condoning cheating or anything, but it would certainly relieve parental stress over exams, right? A quick leg scratch or pencil drop and your kid can refer to their socks in lieu of a calculator. Loo Lip Gloss
I have reservations about this one. Granted, it's an excellent stocking stuffer. A multi-purpose key ring that also houses your sparkly lip gloss. But, please, be sure to reinforce that lip gloss does not come from the toilet, before handing it over. Lest kids attempt to refill when it's empty. Remote Controlled Rat
Remote Controlled Rat
Shudder. This is more a gift you give the kid of someone you don't really like. Let their kid loose with this disgusting toy that will surely freak their mother out. Because remote controlled cars are so 2012... Ye Olde Dinosaur Crap
Fossilized Dino Poop
Firstly, note the warning in yellow on the bottom - CHOKING HAZARD. Followed by the REAL POOP! statement, and the stamp of verification courtesy of Thomas Colbern (WTF? How exactly did Thomas prove it was real? Did he sample it?). Seriuously, WTF? Is there a huge demand for real, fossilised dinosaur crap? What exactly are kids meant to do with it? Particularly given the choking warning. Sorry kids, we're out of ice cream. No dessert tonight. Hey wait a second, there is that dinosaur poop that your Gran got you for Christmas! Edible Boogers
Box of Boogers
All of the yuck. But, admittedly, the ideal gift for that kid who is permanently seen, finger firmly wedged up nostril, picking a winner. Tangy AND gummy. Delicious! I have really enjoyed these weekly Christmas gift idea posts. Next week, to mark the big day, I'll be posting my own Christmas gift ideas, for yours truly. You know, in case any of you were wanting to get me a last minute gift or anything.
