My family asked me for a Christmas list since it's that time of year. As I sat in my chair looking through the Amazon app for ideas, I was amazed at how much stuff was on there. Some of it looked interesting, but a lot of it just seemed unnecessary.
Some of it looked like crap. I must've seen at least 20 different power banks on sale. Generators were another common item, along with Dyson and Roomba knock-offs. I sighed and kept scrolling.
I came across some weird objects as well. Glad trash bags are considered a "Black Friday" item?
Really?
And stethoscopes?
Who's buying this stuff?
Am I the odd man out for struggling to find something I really want for Christmas? I'd rather go do something with family, watch Christmas movies, play games, etc.
I ended up settling for adding some replacement phone chargers, a rechargeable electric lighter, some roasted cinnamon pecans and some Dansk cookies to my list. I looked one more time and added a pair of replacement slippers to the list. Two hours, and that's all I could find.
Maybe it's just me, but as I get older I could care less about the crap. I'd rather focus more on the time I get to spend with friends and family.
