Aibu, Toothbrush for christmas?

[Jessicahyde85]

So I was in Costco and spotted children's sonic air toothbrushes for a really reasonable price. I mentioned them to the old git and said they would be good for Christmas presents and he was horrified I should be so mean to even suggest getting them for our boys for Christmas....

Whaaaa??!!! Aibu? I really don't think I am!

My parents once got us a 90 electric toothbrush that served us very well thank you until it got mangled in a house move (we replaced it). SIL got something similar from FIL and the family was up in arms that she didn't get the expected pile of scented shite. She refused to us her gift and binned it!!!

We have better teeth btw and I am certain using an electric brush contributes.

DH got a fancy electric one for his birthday. It was on request and I gave him other things too. DCs have had them in stockings. I try and give some non tat stuff.

Everyone in our house gets a toothbrush in their stocking. Normally a fancier one than usual. Socks, pants and PJs at Christmas too, it's tradition!

So pleased to read this, my kids now aged 22, 19 & 18 still get a toothbrush in their Christmas stocking and love it. First year I did a stocking for my stepson, of course I put in a toothbrush. He was incredulous and thought Santa had gone mental
