There are some gifts that truly can't be bought in a store. Kids probably understand this better than any of us, and tend to be seasoned experts at putting together heartfelt tokens of appreciation at home - which usually end up being more funny for adults than their little minds could ever imagine.
At the end of the day, it's the thought that counts, right? Check out some of the most innocent, naive, and overall hilarious gifts people have received from kids below, and if you've got one of your own safely stashed away from public view, add it to our list!

Kid's "Glad You're Not Dead" Gift To Grandpa
I said such things when I was 5. Complete misunderstanding of human psychology, yet complete innocence behind the words spoken/written. Today I'm turning 15 but I still see the little artist's interesting view of the world.
I laughed at someone's grandma dying once in elementary school during show and tell... Somehow didn't go to the principal that day.
Load More Replies...Who'd not be happy that his grandpa's alive? It's just not how you should say that and that's the onyl thing that kid misunderstood. I can also see a typical "cars are cool, let's draw some to make it cooler".
Whenever my mom insists she wants grankids someday, i will show her this
I Am A Waiter And A 4-Year-Old Girl Gave Me This As A Tip
I'd say a restaurant or some similar kind of food Establishment.
Load More Replies...So Today I Was Given And End Of Term Present From A Child That She Made With Her Mum. It's So Beautiful, Until I Inspected Closer. I Asked The Mum If It Was Intentional And She Had No Idea. Highlight Of My School Year So Far
I haven't even looked at the other entries, but I already know this one is my favorite, xD
My cousin recently graduated from a Christian HS and I was commissioned to decorate a table for his graduation party. I was given several books to create a pages centerpiece and banner by my good Christian aunt. As I was cutting through some of the books I realized one of them was a very explicit romance novel... I had to go back through and replace about 20 pieces because they were very rude. *Despite the party being at the school/church, I left a few naughty pages in because I graduated from that same place and I hated it* No one noticed :)

Middle School Student Accidentally Gave My Wife Thong Underwear
The funny thing is, if this was from a middle-school child (grade 6-8) some Mom probably picked it up as a teacher gift.
So true. I teach middle school and we rarely get teacher gifts. When we do, the parents usually picked them out and they give the same gift to all their teachers. The gym teacher probably got a pair too haha!
Load More Replies...HA! I have seen those "roses" for sale and didnt realize they were actually thongs!
On My Birthday, 10-Year-Old Sister Asked Me What Kind Of Stuff I Liked. I Told Her Mustaches, Guitars And Sloths. She Went Into Her Room And Came Back An Hour Later With This
That's amazingly creative! Also: Don't we all want to be a sloth sometimes?
Sometimes we are. :P That happens when we stop being pandas for a while.
Load More Replies...Your sister loves you a lot and also she is going places with this imagination.
You told her 10 year old sister you liked mustaches ? weird but okay?

I Work From Home. My 5-Year-Old Regularly Requests The Ipad To Play With First Thing In The Am. I Usually Tell Her To Wait Until After Breakfast. I Went To The Bathroom. Came Back To My Computer And Found This Bribe Waiting For Me At My Desk. It Was 8:30am. I Was Tempted, But Refrained
A Gift From My Daughter
I believe the message she's trying to convey here is she would miss mom if she leaves hence the saying absence makes the heart grow fonder
I suppose the question to ask is, how old is the daughter? If she's 5, its a nice try to convey complex emotions. If she's 15, LOOK OUT!
Made A Book For My Dad For Father's Day. My 13-Year-Old Sister Could Use Practice Drawing Whistles
A 13 year old ? Yeah that was no mistake, maybe if she was 3, but at 13 believe she knows that's not a whistle
Everyone's mind works differently. I still don't get obvious innuendos, and I'm long past 13...

My Niece Made Her Great Grandpa A Card For His 88th Birthday
When my grandma was around 75 years old, my mom started telling us to be extra nice to Granny, for since she was super old, it could very well be her last thanksgiving, christmas, birthday, family dinner, etc. After a few years, it became a running gag, since Granny was almost 95 when she passed away...
My gran for years and years used to say 'don't buy me a Christmas present... I'll not see Christmas'

I wonder what they thought when he was buying this.
Load More Replies...that friend may now be dead as he let someone else's son buy a swearing pad. also was the shop owner blind? he's four!
If I was shopping with him, I'd probably go: "Look at that one, it has pretty flowers on it. Your mum likes flowers, doesn't she?"

In 1965 I gave this duck to my mother , for Christmas because as I said at the time, "every mother needs a duck". My sister gave this back to me shortly after my mother passed. I guess because every mother who needs a duck would like to think her son needs a duck too. I have kept it safe for many years since. This duck is 51 years old. If your mother needs a duck, whether she is with you or not, pass it on. 10872909_1...ae3a37.jpg
I'm guessing (#39) 10 year old Mere doesn't like John, her oldest sister's husband. Telling someone you wish you could tell them to die in a hole makes it as blatant as it's possible to be. Poor John.
the #10 was a mean thing to say to your parent (unless they want to go willingly) ! Hope it was a joke...
