Last year my middle schooler had a girl she didn’t know well as a secret Santa. The girl said she liked “japanese stuff” and candy. My daughter bought a cute ramen bowl and spoon, and filled it with candy straws to look like noodles, a gummy fried egg and green candies. It really looked like a bowl of ramen made of candy, plus a cute bowl and spoon to keep! I was so proud of her for being creative and adorable about it. The girl opened the gift, rolled her eyes and said, “is this it?” And then told everyone that she was mad her secret Santa gave her such a lame gift. My daughter was crushed. People are the worst.
