You’re never too old to give a handmade gift.

The inspiration came after Taylor’s grandfather died and he wanted to bring a lighthearted gift to keep his mom happy on the holiday. “My grandpaw (mom’s dad) passed away last week so it has been a rough week," he exclusively tells PEOPLE. “We thought this would bring a smile to her face. It was a success.”

According to Taylor, the clip perfectly encapsulates his family’s humorous spirit. “My family loves to laugh and joke around,” he says. “We never take each other very seriously, which always calls for some funny family get-togethers."

Taylor recounts other memorable gifts, including a “knuckle sandwich” he received this Christmas from his sister. “My sister gifted me a knuckle sandwich this year — it was two pieces of bread with a picture of her hand printed out in between,” he recalls.

Others have shared their own unique twists to the gag gift. “I love this. I make my mom a yearly footprint christmas card. I’m 39,” writes one user.
