This happened to me irl as a kid. I said I liked frogs at a family event once and for the next 5 years I got frog themed presents.

Happened to my mom IRL too, way back before I was born, in like 1970 her sister gave her a set of three elephants that she displayed on a shelf by the front door. People coming over thought she liked elephants so people started gifting her elephants. By the time I was born she had a full fledged elephant collection, multiple shelves worth. I even added to it when I was a kid because I thought the same thing until she told me one day that she doesn't really have any type of interest in elephants, it was a collection that other people made for her.

But didn't he get tired of frog tchotchkies after a while?

That's awesome, though. Frogs are cool as fuck and presents are fantastic.
