I was discussing holiday gifts with my friends as they try to figure out what to get their wives. I suggested finding what the trendy items were, particularly for women, and to just get those. Then I realized that with TikTok and other social media platforms, trends are usually on those platforms and in the form of doing some sort of challenge or silly prank.
There doesn't seem to be an item that's trendy in the past few years. Some times it was a toy for kids, or some tech item for adults. Maybe something related to fashion be it a specific type of article of clothing or a specific brand.
It feels like we've become less material, which is good, but still put the same amount of effort and craziness in to social media trends.
Or maybe I'm just out of touch. Or growing older. I don't know.
