it just occurred to me that middle class kids will never forget their parent's anniversary because they grow up with like. picture frames and cutting boards and christmas ornaments that have their parents wedding date custom-etched into them. And even if they do forget they won't ever have to go on a spy mission to find it out. source: every time I dogsit for a coworker I am literally surrounded by their wedding date

#honestly I think the customization craze is very ironically killing individuality #or like. creating a false sense of individuality despite not being materially different from other people with the same item #or even similar items. and all thats different is their wedding date #but maybe i'm just a hater :/#but like seriously tho do you really NEED a set of whisky glasses that have your hometown map etched into them. No. you don't.#if someone truly has everything to the point where that's the kind of gift you would give them #think about donating to charity instead
