It’s ugly…. but I guess it beats a chipped “Susan” coffee mug and a dusty 1980’s package of fondue forks, like I got a few years ago from a thrift-shopping friend.
The four, flimsy wooden-handled forks, each with a different color plastic tip, were in one of those “open-face” boxes with a flat ribbon across the cellophane on top.
You know… they come pre-gift-wrapped but nobody ever opens them.
When I peeled off the Christmas tree sticker that I guess she’d added, there was another sticker underneath that said “Happy Birthday Ryan.”
It might still be on it…. though it’s probably been re-gifted several times and will be sitting in another thrift shop as soon as this year’s recipient donates it.
LOL…. she was quite old and didn’t have much money…. so it was nice of her to try.
