11 "Cute" Gifts We Inflicted On Our Parents As Kids

Now that you're grown up, you might need to work a little harder on your gift-giving game. Luckily, Best Buy makes it easy to get mom and dad something they'll actually love.

"Quirky," in this context, being code for "hellish."

5. "Coupons" for things they shouldn't need coupons for!

6. "Art" that looks suspiciously like your nightmares!

7. A "bouquet" of "flowers!"

Which are invariably either weeds picked off the sidewalk or Mom's carefully cultivated garden plants that we yanked out of their beds with our destructive little hands.

8. A performance of our new one-kid show!

(...that they have to sit through. And that is legitimately adorable for the first, oh, 12 minutes.)

9. A "song" we "wrote!"

(Although, in reality, all we did was take an existing song and change the word "Jude" to "Mom.")

10. "Food!"

Alas, "cleaning up the war zone of a kitchen" was not part of the gift.

11. A surprise "dog makeover!"
