Successful Christmas Gifts

If you will be visiting a house full of nine-year-old boys and their fathers, consider bringing a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. If you aren't familiar with Harry Potter, I will tell you that one of the things Harry discovers in the wizard world is a jelly bean that can be any flavor, from spaghetti to dirt. While Harry has to pop one in his mouth to discover the flavor, the Jelly Belly Candy Company has helpfully labeled its beans.

From the not too terrible Ear Wax to the truly atrocious (so I'm told) Vomit, my male relatives could not wait to try the next disgusting flavor. We laughed ourselves silly for 15 minutes.
Definitely one of the most successful Christmas gifts ever.
