"When confronted with specific toys, like a Baby Alive Snuggle Sophia, she doesn't bother to Google what they are, just opts not to buy them and sticks to the more generic baby dolls and clothes from Target's store brand. The comments were so rough that she deleted her original video (and later her entire TikTok account), but the creator made a follow-up video... in which she doubled down."
"'They would be grateful for anything. You guys are like, 'They probably get off-brand stuff all the time. This is their one time a year to get stuff.' OK, that's great. At the end of the day, they're gonna be grateful for what they have, and if they're not, that's on them and their upbringing,' she said to the camera."
A TikTok creator and her husband filmed themselves shopping at Target to fulfill a girl's angel tree wishlist. The angel tree organization suggested spending at least $30, but the creator treated $30 as a strict budget and avoided pricier specified items. The creator bypassed looking up branded toys and selected generic Target store-brand dolls and clothing instead. Viewers reacted harshly, driving deletion of the original video and ultimately the TikTok account. In a follow-up video the creator defended the choices, insisting recipients would be grateful and blaming ungratefulness on upbringing. The creator referenced personal childhood poverty and past utility shutoffs while urging resilience in children.
