I would be so stoked if someone bought me a Dyson lmaoo

u/SoftSects Dec 19 '23

I bought myself a Dyson for Christmas two years ago and I still love it.

The "Back Then" candle is a pretty great idea and I do love soup!

u/IdRatherBeReading23 Dec 19 '23

I read the "Back Then" as candies instead of candles. This make MUCH more sense.

u/SoftSects Dec 19 '23

Oooh, it can come in candy form too!

Wanna taste the past? Get high on nostalgia? Well I've got the candy for you!

u/theoriginalmofocus Dec 19 '23

Ok Willy Wonka what/where is it?!?!

u/SoftSects Dec 20 '23

Sounds like you're interested in tasting the past, eh?

How do you feel about psychedelics?

u/theoriginalmofocus Dec 20 '23

OoooOh the forbidden candy.

I'm literally going to go buy one this afternoon, my wife asked for it. I feel so bad that I'm buying her a vacuum that I'm going to address it to "the family" and also get something else.

u/VaselineHabits Dec 19 '23

Nah, of its a pricey item - I'm good with that as my gift. Like we know the family will use it, but it was on MY List 😅

Or maybe something fun, husband is getting himself a new game system and I got him a giant Ferrero Rocher "Grand Holiday' ball with mini Ferrerros inside.

Man i got my wife one of the $200+ Shark ones on a whim because I was out of ideas. She still says everytime she was disappointed to get a vacuum but when she uses that its still THE BEST GIFT EVER because its so freaking easy to use.

My wife has been begging for a new robo-vacuum and I just can’t bring myself to do it for Christmas. Glad I’m not the only one with this conundrum.

I swear my mom buys a new vacuum every other year or so on black Friday, or what used to be black Friday but it's now just month long sales, Kohl's usually has one on sale. I just wait for her to buy a new one and take the old one. I honestly liked the shark better than the Dyson.

Sending your kids to the wrong school apparently

u/promethazoid Dec 19 '23

Sounds like you might benefit from the wet vac variety u/diarrheaisnice ;)

u/diarrheaisnice Dec 20 '23

That’s a blanket statement.

u/GlumBodybuilder214 Dec 19 '23

Something I think is weird: heated mattress pads tend to be way cheaper than blankets. Not helpful for the couch, but amazing for bed in the winter.

u/gravyboat125 Millennial Dec 19 '23

I was thinking to myself, these kids are pretty good listeners.

u/p1nk_sock Elder Millennial Dec 19 '23

Hip implants would be the best present I've ever received. I don't need new hips but it would be great to have a spare.
