A *true* tragedy 😢 CarltonCards
It’s a truth universally acknowledged that kids aren’t super great when it comes to gifting. First of all, they have no money and, second of all, they have even less sense; so it’s no surprise that they would be absolutely trash when it comes to sprinkling their loved ones with gifts. Don’t believe me? In Grade 7 I received a Seventeen magazine and Aero chocolate bar for Christmas from my BFF at the time.
Anyway, kids’ gift giving only gets worse when it comes to having to find something for their parents. Because a) parents legit already own everything and b) kids have no idea what they actually like—they’re your parents and until you reach the age of at least 15 they aren’t actual people. Enter: Carlton Cards.
Does it matter that said Precious Moments figurines, in hindsight, are straight up nightmarish looking and have extremely religious undertones? No! Does it matter that my mom has about 100 different iterations of the “two daughters hugging their mom” Willow Tree figurine and not enough space to hold them all? No! It’s the thought that counts, people!Plus, you could also pick up a sentimental card while perusing the latest Neopets drop and costume jewellery in the back of the store.
Do we think that our parents were seriously *thrilled* to receive these statuettes or costume bangles for EVERY. SINGLE. OCCASION? No, probably not; but they knew what went into us choosing it for them. Mainly, minutes of us painstakingly perusing over-priced ceramics to discern which of the generic, big-eyed porcelain figures would best suit our moms and our relationships with them…unfortunately there were never any “screaming because I’m a brat but will one day call you twice a day” figurines.
