Buying gifts for little kids to give to others can be a tricky thing. You want to get something that they want to gift within reason, but it can be quite difficult to find something that’s affordable, makes sense for the giftee, and that the kid is excited about giving. Often, you can’t check all of those boxes. When I was a little kid, my dad and I bought a wallet to give to my mom for Mother’s Day. The second we got home from the store, I ran up to my mom and told her, «Mommy! Mommy! We got you a wallet!» Suffice it to say that delivery was way better than the gift itself. 

Some people are not good sports about the slightly off-kilter gifts their kids get for them. One father recently got angry at the mother of his toddler for allowing her to buy him a toy football with his rival team on the package. What a drama queen.
