Well there's nothing fun in that bag......

[Nicpem1982]

Gave dn her gifts today at ils and when she'd unwrapped them bil announced there was nothing fun in that bag and they can be left at mils

Wed bought 2 gifts that were requested (one quite expensive) and then some educational games books etc

At bils announcement dn shrugged and walked off with out even a thanks mil chastised bil but he shrugged

Aibu to be livid and want to sack presents off completely next year

Time released glitter. The gift that keeps on giving!

Can we add hama beads to the trumpet, glitter and Moonsand?
And Slime?

Your BIL is breathtakingly rude, OP but there's plenty of scope for a 'fun' revenge.

add away we have quite a generous budget

I wonder if you could even subscribe to a monthly delivery of glitter for the child, on amazon subscribe and save perhaps...and some glue, to make it even more fun! Ooh, and you can get a lair of hinged tubes thing you put in paint and blow to spray paint for artistic effect, that'd be REALLY fun .....

Xmas - this needs looking into

Wow, that is so rude. /I would have kept my cool!

I struggled but I didn't want my dd to see me throttle her uncle. My mil pipped up before me

All really, super fun!!

Xmas - super dooper fun!

There’s some putty that’s caused chaos in another household, as reported on another thread (Xmas Disasters). Will be back shortly with details...

Alternatively do the Oxfam donated goat thing as a family present for your BIL & SIL too.

Bad just bil and dn

A trumpet is a weird thing to request someone else buy for your child. Was it a plastic play-type trumpet or the real thing?

They didn't request a trumpet that was the revenge present for being so rude

What about Bunchems? Then when they got stuck in her hair they could have the fun of doing a Daily Mail sadfacer.

Hopefully (if there is sli) she will be asking where the hell Nicpems present is

never, ever buy from The List again. Go you own way for christmas and birthday from now, and quote "well it's FUN" at him all the way!
