I agree. I think the point of these items is to give kids affordable gifts they can buy for their parents and relatives with their limited funds. Kind of like the holiday shops they have at schools. It's all crap, but its the thought that counts.

Now an adult has no busines buying any of that junk for a fellow adult, but if my daughter gave me one of those things years ago, I would have accepted it in the spirit it was given.
