For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.

    The in-laws know I love to cook and got me a (to me, they’re familiar with the author through some TV show) random cookbook. It’s aimed at people who don’t know how to cook and lack confidence trying. Also who cook with things like Velveeta and cream of mushroom soup.

    I mostly eat from-scratch Asian food.

      Cream of Mushroom soup as a helper sauce base for beef stroganoff is a valid use scenario.

        I don’t think it has no good use cases. But this book uses it to a fault.
