Weird birthday present requests

[Johnduttonsbuttocks]

Our newly-turned 6 year old asked for a back scratcher for his birthday. He LOVES it.

Have your kids ever requested wacky presents?

DS2 asked for Blu-tac when he was 3. He's now 16 and it appears in his stocking every year.

My toddler asked for “that line in the sky”, meaning the vapour trail from a ‘plane.

My son when he was about 7 or 8 asked for a foot scrubber for in the bath that you put your foot in to clean

santa Gave him it and he couldn’t use it as he said it was too tickly.

Tricky to get that.

I am amazed that other children also asked for back scratchers. Is it a thing?

A house alarm! Goodness knows where he thought he was going to put it. Managed to source a toy alarm for his bedroom door instead but it kept falling off 🙄

Why in my 30s have i honestly never heard of this glorious invention? I will be purchasing one for a certain relative with stinky feet!

This will blow his mind then!

My now 11yo has asked for carrots and cheese every Christmas for the last few years. She hasn't been disappointed.

Asking for carrots and cheese - I mean, you're never going through life disappointed, are you? 😄

Dd, then aged 2, asked for a snowman and some cheese for Christmas and then for her 3rd birthday, a box of eggs. It later transpired that she thought she could hatch the eggs into chickens, so while she was initially elated, she was disappointed to find that she wasn't getting chickens from her half dozen Sainsbury’s eggs

Dd asked for a purple towel when she was 3. It was the only thing on her list apart from chocolate (oh how times have changed).;

A hedgehog. Apparently at 6 you're responsible enough for a hedgehog 🤷🏻‍♀️ this was a very long time ago and said child is an adult. The stuffed hedgehog toy belongs to one of their kids now

Oh my gosh- I asked for a back scratcher as a child too! It was shaped like a hand!!

PawMaw isn't that a serial killer kit??

A selection of tiny cowboy hats but he wouldn't tell us why. We roped in grandma to knit them. He turned all his toys into cowboys and made them ride around on his giant snake teddy.

High heels after plodding around in mine. Not little princess heels or shoes that fit. She wanted adult sized heels.

My dad used to work for rowntrees (then mackintosh but now nestle) so we got cheap sweets and chocolates from their waste office
we’d get loads of our favourites at christmases and birthdays-as long as you didn’t mind them being ‘seconds’ and in plain packaging

I remember the year myself and my brothers begged for cadburys!

The only thing my 10 year old daughter asked for for Christmas this year was an electric whisk.

A coffin - monster mad seven year old. He didn't get one as they are too expensive but I got him a coffin money box instead.

A crutch 🙈🤦‍♀️

My youngest was saving her pocket money to get a shoe horn when she was little.

DD wanted a pet wolf spider for her 6th birthday (the rest of the household are all arachnophobes).

Me too! My back is suddenly very itchy.

My little brother asked for a pair of new wellies ( the “new” was capitalised on his letter to Father Christmas) because all his life he’d had my hand-me-downs.

thats exactly what what I was thinking except for the cardboard

too many crime documentaries me thinks

Could he possibly have meant babybel's as in the cheese?
