Slippers

Grandpa Boss: the Christmas Day TV remote has a new owner

Three generations, one TV and a pair of slippers that settle every argument before it starts.

IRONIKS “Nonno Boss” slippers seen from above on grandpa's feet at Christmas, remote in hand while the grandchildren laugh

25 December, 3:30 pm. Lunch ended ten minutes ago, but nobody has left the table yet. The kids want cartoons, the uncle wants the football, grandma wants the black-and-white film that's on every year. War is brewing on the sofa.

Then he arrives. Grandpa crosses the living room slowly and solemnly, sits in his armchair, puts his feet up and shows everyone his brand-new slippers, just unwrapped: Nonno Boss (Grandpa Boss) on one foot, Oggi comando io, anche domani (I'm in charge today, and tomorrow too) on the other.

The remote moves from his grandson's hand to his own and nobody quite understands how. He holds it like a sceptre. The kids protest, the uncle laughs, grandma shakes her head: “Who gave him those?” Everyone points at his daughter, who pretends not to hear.

At 4 pm it's the regional news, at 5 pm a documentary about bees. Nobody dares complain in front of slippers this clear. At 5:30 grandpa is asleep, remote still in hand. And nobody dares take it away.

That's why IRONIKS slippers are among the most requested Christmas gifts in shops: they make the recipient laugh, the giver laugh and the whole family around them. And they end up in everyone's Christmas photos.
