Found this at an antique and oddities shop near me. Paid $18, then taped $20 worth of candy to the back of it. She was so happy! I guess her jeep caught fire last year. I’m not sure if this was even the same year, very, very doubtful. But she was so happy to get it. The candy was just a bonus.

We’ve been doing this party for more than 15 years at this point and surprisingly no one has ever brought a hot meal as a gift. This was hilarious and it was coveted and stolen during the night. The person who brought it did a great job at sealing it in the box to prevent any odor or hints that there’s a whole chicken in the pile of presents.
