Is this a dumb gift idea from SendACake.com? I say yes.

I caught a commercial the other day which was airing just in time for Mother’s Day. Have you heard of SendACake.com? I hadn’t either and when I saw the commercial I thought it must be the worst gift ever. Take a look at one of their ads featuring their twist on surprise gifts.

Every single person who opened a gift in the ad above had one thing in common (besides being gay or lesbian), they were all frightened by the jump scare of random objects exploding out of the box. I can’t think of any scenario in my life where that would be a fun gift to open. If you’re going to get me one of these things that cost $60 dollars or more, we are not friends. Plus, imagine getting your mother one of these, giving her a small heart attack, then you have to spend 25 minutes cleaning up all the confetti or cards or fake dollar bills or whatever else shoots out of the gimmicky gift box.

So to sum up: These are dumb. If you’re going to spend this kind of money on your mom or anyone you love, get them something they can actually use. I can think of quite a few things that are way less expensive and much more special than one of these jokes of a gift!
