Bad Gift Ideas!

So I decided to put together a list of the worst possible gifts anyone could give a child. The point of this post is to a) make everyone who didn't buy these better about themselves as a parent and b) make everyone who did buy these feel the need to fish for the receipt in the trash before it goes out.

Lightning Reaction Extreme


Basically you you have to press the button first in order to not get shocked. Yes, shocked. Electrocuted. Sounds like loads of fun until some older relative falls over dead.


Wooden Gun-Shaped Ruled


Speaking as a former preschool teacher, I can tell you right now this won't be allowed in school.


Pass The Bomb

For all of you raising future terrorists, this might be the perfect gift. And if you belong to a large network, there's even a Pass the Bomb Party Edition.


Live Butterfly Garden

You know what makes a toy extra-special? When it comes with a certificate for a small container of larvae that you get to send away for! And then then feed and take care of for three weeks until they're actual, live butterflies that will want to escape.


Extreme Bug Vaccum


I don't think I even need to say why this is a bad idea.



Nerf N-Strike Recon CS-6 Dart Blaster


Sometime between my childhood and now, Nerf stopped making footballs and started making weapons.



Icky Poo Book


Basically it's slime that comes with a book of games you can play with slime.



Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman


Don't buy this for your kids thinking it's the cute sequel to the Michael Keaton movie.
