Every year I try to get my sister's kids one evil gift. Not evil by kid standards- I mean things that almost by their very nature drive parents up the wall. A drum set. Four ounces of iridescent glitter (a pound costs $55, dissolves on contact with water, and is environmentally safe under California law, if you happen to need to commit acts of sparkly protest any time soon). Patriots t-shirts when the parents are a Giants and Eagles household. That kind of thing.

Currently debating whether Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes: A No-Bullshit Guide to World Mythology would be an option here.

How old are these kids? Because there is a lot of violence, swearing, and sexual content in that book.

That's true; I wouldn't recommend it if they're under about 7 (or if they're sensitive about any of those), but if I had read it between the ages of 7 and 13 I might have been scandalised but I wouldn't have been upset. Judging by some of the stuff I did read during my childhood, at least.

The oldest is only fourteen. I'll wait a few years.
