When buying a holiday gift for someone else’s kids, people usually don’t consider potential drawbacks. This prompted internet personality Kylie Kelce, the wife of former NFL star Jason Kelce, to share a helpful guide for this type of activity.
In a recent episode of her Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce podcast, Kelce identified five types of holiday gifts that people shouldn’t buy her kids. According to her, avoiding these gifts will help you avoid upsetting the parents of the kids you are buying gifts for.
The first on the list are toys that have an assembly time of more than five minutes. According to Kelce, these types of toys are time-consuming, and kids are often impatient to see them come together and might end up playing with small parts or even swallowing them while waiting.
Kelce also doesn’t want anything covered in glitter if the glitter isn’t fully sealed to the surface of an item.
“I can’t veto glitter as a whole, but I need you to get something that the glitter is sealed. I need it attached to that surface. I need it not leaving it,” she explained.
The third thing includes toys or items that have no volume control. She learned the drawbacks of these gifts when her son Wyatt received an electric drum set that didn’t feature volume control.
Next on the list is “living creatures.” According to Kelce, you will put parents in a really challenging spot because they might not have the time or space to care for it.
Finally, Kelce says you shouldn’t gift other people’s kids anything that comes with too many pieces. These pieces often get misplaced, and the kid could accidentally swallow one of them.
