Can you remember a Christmas morning or maybe a birthday when you were lucky enough to get that special toy you were always wanting when all of a sudden you saw those dreaded words on the box – Batteries Not Included.
“MOM! Do we have any batteries?”
Of course she sends Dad to go find some and he comes back empty handed.
UGH!
I had this one Aunt who was always on top of things. She would notice that evil Batteries Not Included and she would take care of it. She would buy the batteries needed for the gift and include them.
That always made me smile. Thanks Aunt Phyllis. You rock!

Hey Troy, do I ever! When we had our Deli we always made sure that we had heaps of batteries over Christmas just to make sure we didn’t run out for all those fathers looking to buy batteries for those toys. Makes a lot more sense to ensure you supply the batteries as part of the gift’ 😉

Troy, when your in business you always have to look for ways to maximise your profits. That one was pretty obvious after the first year 😉
Things are pretty good. Nothing much of interest is happening around me. I reckon you’re life is a lot more exciting in Vegas!

There is always that Aunt who saves the day! I bet there are aunt’s out there who gifts electric cars too and those definitely has batteries!
I wish my aunt would gift me a Tesla. A boy can dream no?

I like the way you wrote 🙂 I’ll note what you wrote. Actually, I always don’t remember to buy batteries when I buy the toy for my boys.

This is really unique gift suggestion but didn’t know these could last for a long period of 10 years and you really have them in stock.
