#### budget-limit block of Parmesan

8 source recordsDiscussed8 of 11 here

**Why readers recommended it:** The thread's most divisive pick, and the split is entirely about audience. Home cooks and self-described foodies want it and describe exactly how they would use it; everyone else says they would hand it straight on. Commenters who made it work did so by reading the room first or by pairing it with a grater so the gift arrived as a set rather than a lone block of cheese.

I plan on getting a block of Parmesan that’s worth $25 😂

What readers reported

**Limit:** Only lands with a food-minded group; several commenters say plainly they would re-gift it immediately.

**budget-limit block of Parmesan**

8 mentionsDiscussed8 of 11 here

source-backed name

**Best for:** Gourmet pantry splurges

**Why readers recommended it:** The thread's most divisive pick, and the split is entirely about audience. Home cooks and self-described foodies want it and describe exactly how they would use it; everyone else says they would hand it straight on. Commenters who made it work did so by reading the room first or by pairing it with a grater so the gift arrived as a set rather than a lone block of cheese.

**What readers reported:** I plan on getting a block of Parmesan that’s worth $25 😂

**Limit:** Only lands with a food-minded group; several commenters say plainly they would re-gift it immediately.

**Why readers recommended it:** also that ear cleaner thing! the one with a camera on the end and you use the app to see in your ear. EVERYONE wanted it!

⚠ Safety context**Safety context:** A camera can improve visibility, but it does not remove the injury risk from inserting a tool into the ear. The American Academy of Otolaryngology’s patient guidance says not to insert anything into the canal because probing can push wax deeper and accidentally injure the eardrum or ear bones. Wax causing pain, discharge, hearing loss, or persistent blockage should be assessed rather than blindly scraped. *Sources: [ENT Health — earwax and cerumen impaction guidance](https://www.enthealth.org/conditions/earwax-cerumen-impaction/?ref=smartjots.com)*

⚠ Safety correction**Safety correction:** The bag is for short transport, not housing. RSPCA guidance says to minimize packaged time and move the fish into a prepared aquarium; goldfish need filtration, substantial water volume, and can live 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care. Giving a live fish without confirming that the recipient accepts the long-term responsibility and has a cycled habitat risks poor welfare. *Sources: [RSPCA Knowledgebase — how to care for a goldfish](https://kb.rspca.org.au/categories/companion-animals/fish/how-should-i-care-for-my-goldfish?ref=smartjots.com) · [RSPCA — choosing an aquarium and transporting a new fish](https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/fish/environment?ref=smartjots.com)*
