To buy nephew a present to piss off SIL

[snorkel1]

BIL and SIL have done something to royally piss us off today, have spent the whole day fuming. Basically they are selfish £@&@'s.
Anyway it's our nephews birthday next week and we love him and want to get him a nice present (he's 5), what's the most annoying thing we can buy him that he will love and they will hate?!

A mud kitchen.

Kazoo, voovoozela. Face paint set. Anything glittery. A hamster in a cage (they're nocturnal). Bit mean using a little ones birthday to vent your anger though. Think about it.

Buy him a kids steel drum! (Carnivale style) He can play all he wants and you'll piss off half their postcode.

One of those animatron animals, that meows or barks etc.

My nieces and nephews are all adults now but things I have bought in the past include a floor piano, remote control car that made a noise as well as flashing lights and Plasticine, lots of it. I think I bought a worm world, or it might have been the ants one.

A friend's son got a metal detector that beeped all the time it was on.

Marble runs can be fun.

I've threatened to get my nephew a slime making kit if my brother doesn't give me any other ideas. He said it'll be going straight in the bin. Prick.

If you love him, buy him something he’ll like.

Battleax has never met a five year old if she's concerned glitter, drums, playdough and moon sand won't be loved

A recorder. He will LOVE it

Maybe spend the time trying to rebuild your relationship with your sister in law rather than thinking of ways to make it worse.

A violin. You never know, he might love it and turn into a virtuoso, thus opening up a new world for him, but those months of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star will be excruciating.... Seen half decent ones that look good for less than £20.

There is a difference between buying him something he loves and buying him something his mother will hate.

You beat me to it Missus I was just about to suggest a violin!

IME these things are almost always one in the same.

Something lovely.

And a kazoo.

One of those voice changing loud hailers - my SIL bought both my DC one for Christmas when they were 3 & 4 - nightmare... I've never forgiven her.

A recorder. 100%. Drums can't be moved around and follow you round the house.

Oh actually. World cup coming up.

You are welcome OP>

Except in intention.
