That reminds me of a Christmas present I bought for my mother at Woolworth's (a five and dime, long since closed as a chain). I was 7, and rather than getting her a little bitty bottle of perfume, I knew that the really huge bottle of perfume was a much better gift at the price of $2. Ironically, she treasured the thing, and I think she still keeps it on her perfume tray....

Great story. The exact same thing happened with my grandmother, her kids gave her some cheap perfume when they were little. We found the bottle on her vanity when we were cleaning the house after she died. Talk about a good laugh and a good cry.
