Whatever you get them, they love because you gave it to them – and therefore, it must be awesome. As adults, when it comes to gift-giving, so often we focus on the actual gift, rather than the action.

Last week, Dustin Griffie uploaded an adorable video to Twitter of his young nephew’s reaction to his Christmas present. The young uncle didn’t give little Mason the coolest new toy, or even candy…
Instead, he gave the two-and-a-half-year-old a banana, and well, it went over pretty well.
Twitter
“I got banana!” the little boy squealed, happily showing the piece of fruit off to everyone in the room.

Now for the really important question: Did he eat the banana or is it a treasured keepsake?
