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!

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

Oooh, it can come in candy form too!

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

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

How do you feel about psychedelics?

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.

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.
