When I was a baby, I was rewarded for reaching basic milestones with food or toys. However, it seems that some parents today are promising their babies extravagant rewards, like thousand-dollar handbags, just for learning to walk. For instance, a father in Minneapolis, Minnesota, promised his daughter that he would buy her a purse as soon as she took her first steps. Now, both of them can walk into the mall together to choose which purse she would like from a Coach store.
TikTok user samster29_s and husband went to a Minnesota mall and into a Coach designer goods store with their daughter in tow. Inside, the dad helps the child talk to the staff and select one of the purses they have available. Of course, mom came with them to help make sure she made the right decision.
To make the gift even more special, the father had his daughter’s name embossed on the leather of the purse she selected, making it truly personalized. Once the purchase was finalized, the staff carefully wrapped the purse in a gift bag and handed it to the young girl, who looked just as confused as you probably were while reading this.
Commenters expressed their jealousy, with some even commenting about their ability to walk and if they deserve a purse as well. However, the best comment comes from Coach themselves, “First steps worth celebrating in style 💫 Welcome to the Coach family, little one!“
Considering that the entire event was documented, I can only hope that it’s a memory that samster29_s’ daughter will hold dear to her heart forever. I can already imagine her as an adult, still with the little pink purse her dad gave her when she was a baby. It’s the wholesome stories like this one that make you want to keep going!
