Kisses for My Granddaughter


How would I describe Kisses for My Granddaughter?

Creepy?

Strange?

Something that if given to me I would stuff into the back of my closet?

All these descriptions apply, at least in my opinion. Let's see what the Bradford Exchange, who sells this piece, has to say about Kisses for My Granddaughter:

"Just like HERSHEY'S KISSES chocolates, granddaughters make life a whole lot sweeter! Now these favorite candies inspire the "Dear Granddaughter" Limoges-style music box, exclusively from The Bradford Exchange. Hand-crafted of Heirloom Porcelain, "Dear Granddaughter" is "wrapped" in a silvery finish with a golden heart clasp and a plume that reads "KISSES for My Granddaughter." It plays "You Are So Beautiful" at the turn of the key."

Why would anyone want a music box that plays "You Are So Beautiful?" I think any self- respecting teenage girl (or younger, for that matter) would be mortified if they received this. do you really think a kid would want to display this? most kids I know would be embarassed to.

What do you think? Is it crap or treasure?
