To think WTAF is with this prize? (baby competition advertised on MN) Bizarre hamper.

Now, I am not ungrateful, just a little confused.

Competition advertised on MN to win baby wipes goodies. It was a picture comp and we won, we were told we were being sent a hamper.

I kind of expected it to be all wipes and baby stuff... There are some bits that are just weird:

4 packets of cigarette papers (2 are the kind to roll joints with!)
4 Lighters
108 condoms! Hmm
2 x super glue
14 sanitary pads
60 pantliners
13 batteries
6 lip balms
1 blu tack
2 pritt sticks
1 bottle of mouthwash
6 tooth brushes
120 plasters

And out of all of this 2 packets of wipes...

Am I a bit weird to think that joint papers shouldn't be part of a prize for a baby competition? Confused

They should have sent some redbull for your DP.

He's going to need it poor man. 108 condoms................

Ill Maybe I should save the boxes for Halloween and get a babysitter? Wink

Horrace I have no idea, you would think there would at least be more wipes! to clean up after using the condoms

I think there's a hidden camera in there too and they're all crying with laughter at your Shock Hmm Confused expressions as you unpacked it.

You could always use your imagination...

Condom balloon animals
Paper mâché with the cigarette papers
stocking fillers with the lip balm

The fun to could have!

SchrodingersMew · 17/10/2012 12:10

But yes, picture is on my profile so you can see how odd it is. :)

SchrodingersMew · 17/10/2012 12:13

Shall I tell you the real (boring) reason?
Tushies are either made or distributed by a company called Multibrands. You got a load of their other brands' products.

Mrsjay · 17/10/2012 12:18

MAybe the fag papers had erm more in it and mumsnet used them as they were packing hamper Grin

saintlyjimjams · 17/10/2012 12:19
