Things you should never get your kids for Christmas
Being a kid once I receive quite a lot of awesome gifts, but I also receive a bunch of super disappointing ones. So to help all you parents out there I have compiled a list of things you should never get your kids for Christmas.
A Globe
Globes are a fair size, and therefore come in a big box. When a Kid sees a big box under the tree on Christmas day their eyes light up. When they open the box to find an instrument used for learning their soul turns black.
Bootleg toys
Nothing rockets your kid to the bottom of the cool totem pole faster than showing up with bootleg merchandise, kids know real from fake. Just like how everyone knows your ‘JV’ bag was purchased in China Town.
Sweaters
Kids want toys dammit! Get them sweaters on your time, Christmas is their time. If you are going to get them a sweater at least have the decency to make it awesome.
Bicycle (if you live somewhere it snows)
I don’t know about you, but to me getting your child something they can’t really use for 4 months is kind of a dick move. Bikes make awesome presents, but not if its snowing outside.
Science Set
Save the money and just wrap up their homework instead.
Socks
Does anything really have to be said about giving socks to a child for Christmas? Just throw them in the drawer when they are not looking and go to the dollar store and grab a handful of sweet sweet toys. Just make sure your kid does not lick them.
With Christmas it is really the thought that counts, so for your kids sake take a second to think back to your childhood, and the gifts you did not enjoy and don’t make the same mistake. Nothing sucks more than a box of disappointment.
Or at least make sure for each box of disappointment there is at least 5 boxes of awesome under that tree.
Wal-Mart is open 24s until the big day, hurry there’s still time!
