But they picked out a toilet plunger, a rat trap, the gaudiest jewelry you ever saw for grandma, i can't remember them all. No matter what they picked I said it was perfect and just what they wanted. They had to wrap the presents too.

Everyone loved what they picked out.
Thanks for sharing. That had me laughing out loud. I guess it is a good example of "it's the thought that counts."
