One test of a protocol or proposal is to ask the question: What if everyone did that?

Looking at the commercialization of #MotheringSunday by #LEGO that was on my telly today, the question arises. What if everyone bought LEGO Botanicals flowers for Mothering Sunday?

LEGO would have saturated the market and there would be no market for them next year. A lot of people would have permanent plastic flowers in their home all year around.

And a lot of plastic flowers would get thrown away (or clog up the charity shops) by the recipients who turn out to disdain artificial flowers. LEGO hasn't (to my knowledge) yet reported reaching its goal of only using recyclable #plastics, moreover.

Maybe the best present for Mothering Sunday, if one even celebrates it by buying things from shops in the first place, is something easily recyclable and that won't hang around for years.

It's remarkable how when you search online for gifts you get these lists pages of potential gifts and none of them are remotely good enough.

It's like the gifts are for the same person every time. Someone who wears perfume/after shave, someone who likes popular clubbing music, someone who like cooking the latest trendy food, and so on.

It's just so very very poor.

I know these lists are mostly clickbait but who buys any of that shit?
