Free to good homes

Chia pets never go to the right people the first time around. I notice that Chia pets have been prominent lately in the Sunday ad supplements and no doubt will continue to be right up to the end of December. Nobody goes out and buys a Chia pet for personal enjoyment; people buy them to give away. In every workplace holiday white-elephant gift exchange, there's always at least one Chia pet. People who receive them as gifts are eager to dispose of them. But the odd thing is that these items are usually the most highly sought after and contested in these gift exchanges. So they end up with people who want them, just not the first time around.
