We always look forward to our birthday or Christmas Day to receive presents from our loved ones. It feels great when someone you love surprises you with something that maybe you couldn’t afford or that you’ve wanted for a long time. Still, here we’ll see people who were astonished by gifts from their grandparents, but for other reasons; some were more surprised than others, and the reasons behind their shock are totally different in each case. While it is true that intention is what matters most, these people should consider giving their grandparents a list of suggestions next time. Even though elderly people know many things, sometimes they aren’t fully aware of the new trends. So join us in this great selection of peculiar gifts, and let’s check out the reactions of those who received them.

A Mario blanket

We’re amazed by how grandmothers can create great works of art with a pair of needles and some wool in such a short period of time. This grandson, who grew up playing Mario games, can be very proud of his grandmother’s enormous talent. What a great job!

Every old-school gamer who enjoys Nintendo games would love to have one of these blankets to stay warm in winter. What a great way to end a hard day of work: falling into a dream where you go through different worlds to rescue Princess Peach from the clutches of the evil Bowser. Sweet dreams!
