Its always surprising how everyone always want the biggest, newest shiniest stuff, yet a box will make a baby happy. Its also funny how we do stuff on a "random impulse" that later turns into something that has a major life changing impact on someone.
Heres a good example: A few years back we went to the zoo. Had a wonderful day with our omega puppy at the end we went to gift store to browse knowing Beta puppy (who is unfortunately in England but soon to re-locate hopefully) would love some zoo stuff and Colorado stuff. They had a deal where you spend a certain amount, and get a free medium plushie. With two shirts, a hat and plastic toy we met their requirements. When asked we looked up and the penguin plush called to us so we chose it.
That penguin (named Percy) is now vital to Beta puppy's mental health and he has such a critical attachment to it, that he panics if anyone he doesnt trust touches him or he falls on the floor!
It was an impulse buy, yet has had such a huge impact on his life in positive ways you cant help but grin at his pure glee about his precious Percy penguin lol.
