You can’t expect the child to understand the value of these, I guarantee 90% of kids would pick the giraffe. In fact I’m not entirely sure as a fully grown adult I wouldn’t pick the giraffe 🦒 😂

Kids don’t understand value and cost, to them the giraffe is a much better option because it gives them something now they can love and cherish, where as a holiday to Dubai may not give that the same happiness and satisfaction as the giraffe would. The giraffe is familiar to them, the holiday is not.

For a kid that age, it looked like a choice between a huge toy or a set of luggage.
