How is it thoughtless? It may not be the most useful gift, but to say that it is thoughtless is ridiculous. It takes thought to remember something someone else is into and to get them something related to that.

Also, what is with you and the person I commented on doing with these weird takes? Termites are known to exclusively eat wood and other plant-based matter. A bite may cause an allergic reaction, but I doubt there has ever been a case where termites ate a person alive. Are you literally Pinocchio?
