My aunt got me a "survival blanket" for Christmas and I think she's onto something
I found out from a wilderness first aid course that those cheap mylar blankets actually reflect back 90% of your body heat, so maybe it wasn't the worst gift ever. Has anyone else gotten something that seemed stupid at first but actually had a legit use?

My aunt gave me one of those emergency blankets too and I actually kept it in my glove box. Last winter my car battery died in the middle of nowhere and that thing kept me warm enough to not panic until help showed up.

Ngl, that's actually pretty smart. I ended up with a massive roll of industrial bubble wrap from a moving job and kept it in my trunk for years. Came in clutch one time when a friend's fish tank cracked and we had to get a new one across town in the cold - wrapped that thing up like a burrito and not a single fish got stressed. Kinda weird how random stuff people give you ends up saving the day sometimes.
