More than happy to be told IABU, but is it just me that sees celebrities on Instagram being constantly sent freebies for their children and their homes?
Take Giovanna Fletcher for example. Married to a pop star turned writer, an author in her own right and can't be struggling with money. However she's always opening "presents" from companies, clothes for the children, toys, furniture, homewares etc.
Obviously this is done so she'll show them on Instagram and generate sales for whoever has gifted them, which is all well and good and an obvious advertising tactic.
However, it annoys me, perhaps irrationally, but it does. There are so many babies and older children out there who are desperate for clothes and toys and essentials. So many struggling parents who would be so grateful for things like this. Sending them to a celebrity who already has most of these things, and can afford to buy them for herself, seems a bit of a shit thing to do when there are needy children everywhere.
It breaks my heart to see Giovanna open yet another parcel of beautiful children's clothes when I've had to buy children at school socks and pants out of my own money because they just don't have them.
As I said, perfectly willing to be told IABU.
