Handmade gift for christening. AIBU for not doing?

[Carrados]

Christening next week for 6mo. Parents have requested handmade gifts for DD.

Clearly they want lots of unique and personalised gifts for their DD, which is lovely. But I'm shit at crafts and also find the request a bit . If I was to go for it, I really would turn up with something monumentally shit that would get chucked away, and would be a waste of my time and effort.

I suggested to DD's mother, my friend, that I bring something else and she choked through the words 'something shop bought is fine' and 'precious DD has everything she needs'. Clearly it's not.

AIBU to think cheeky, ungrateful fuckers?!

:D That is great

can you make a glitterbomb?

Didactylos- can you make a glitterbomb?
Haha!! With actual glitter rather than confetti or sequins? 😄 Brilliant idea!

I linked through to this on the dm btw...

Woman sparks furious debate after blasting friends who demanded she bring a ‘handmade gift’ for their child’s christening

Well, I guess you might find the invitation to the christening retracted and you'll be down a friend after this.

I just go here for homemade

Just make a box filled with 18 birthday cards written and sealed so that way you dont need to remember to send one each year.

Hand-cooked crisps?

Now it is the daily mail. I am quoted twice. This is a user name that Is never coming back!

Problem solved, get a nice frame and put a copy of the syn article in it. It will be unique, hand made (stick a bow on each corner of the frame) and personalised.

Was this a furious debate?

I didn't see any fury. Gentle pisstaking, no?!

Good grief, that's the first time I've read one of those. Are there not content scraping type copyright issues in this? That's mad.

There's a Mumsnet thread on there disguised as news most days. Glad I've got an unprintable username!

Did they quote me? I SO want this username in the DM

Lazy bloody journalists, they need to get out and find some real news FFS

Problem solved.

Daily you beat me to it!

I was going to go.... "hacksjustcopymumsnet"

Still not quoted. Username powers are on form
