All parents know not to give them as gifts, but if you let your kid pick out the present... It’s a stuffed animal or pillow for mine. Heading out of stuffed animal phase into decorative emoji pillow phase.

I try to steer them towards other useless clutter, like a board game they might play twice or never, some craft box they can pile on top of years worth of crafts, or try to find something ideally that would be consumed fast like charcoal pencils and paper. But not every kid loves drawing.

As a parent, we’d love fresh fruit. My kids gravitate towards cluttering your basement.
