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.

    My parents gave me one of those 2023 Guinness World Record book. I appreciate the gesture, but it screams “we didn’t know what to get you, and there were a pallet of 'em at Costco”. I can see the book’s appeal for a child or teenager but I’M 37.

    I’ll be re-gifting it to my father in-law 😎 I’m 100% sure he’ll love it.

        Yeah, back in the days before smartphones the Guinness Book was a bathroom staple, along with several volumes of Uncle John’s Bathroom Readers.

      I’m the same age and I like browsing those when doing idle things like eating or pooping

      Better give it to him soon. 2023 is quickly being forgotten.

      Weird that your father-in-law is a teenager.
