Hey America, sorry we missed your birthday. In the absence of any gift ideas from you — why can you never decide what you want? — we tried to get you a calm presidential election and peaceful transfer of power.

When those didn't qualify for Prime shipping, we chose this Wi-Fi picture frame, pre-loaded with all your favorite memories! It sure was funny when Martha Washington chugged that whole tankard of Cherry Bounce!

Anyway, maybe America can get an 11 out of 11 this week.
