I was at work when I saw my coworkers eyeing some strange-looking item in the office. With curiosity and confusion, we quickly realized it was a “Funny Christmas Ornament Gift for Daddy- Dad, No Matter What Life Throws at You, at Least You Don't Have Ugly Children- 3 inch Flat Stainless Steel Ornament Gift for Father" from Amazon that one of the staff had decided to bring in as an odd gag gift for her boss's father!
We all found ourselves laughing yet also pondering what star rating this product could have received if customers are being offered such strange gifts to get people smiling during tough times like these? The idea of gifting someone something so ridiculous just because of its humor felt rather unsatisfying - and even worse - not able to use it beyond the quarantine holiday season.
Though there were plenty more holidays coming up ahead that we'd need funny presents like these, I knew that looking forward wouldn't help our situation right now - feeling sad and unsatisfied with this novelty Christmas ornament.
