A couple I work with are getting married. They are bog lovers of all forms of wildlife.

WIBU to give them this as a wedding gift?

Well, you know them, but personally I'd stick with tea towels or a toaster.

OneThreadOnly0101 · 04/07/2019 12:46

Do you like this couple? I love wildlife, but if you got me that I'd think you hated me 😂

Bookworm4 · 04/07/2019 12:47

Christ no! Wtf has that got to do with loving wildlife? True animal lovers do not humanise animals. Plus it’s naff & tacky.

DickZillaofTheVilla · 04/07/2019 12:47

That is the most unreasonable thing I’ve ever seen on AIBU Grin

Crabbitstick · 04/07/2019 12:48

That is truly awful.

BettyJune07 · 04/07/2019 12:48

That would give me nightmares, sorry OP. Very thoughtful of you though x

chemenger · 04/07/2019 12:48

You can’t be serious? I love orangutans and would assume you were making fun of me with that thing. It is horrible.

Yeahnahmum · 04/07/2019 12:48

That. Is. Shit.

Deuxcaggages · 04/07/2019 12:49

I'm not keen on that, but I don't know them.

£150 is a lot to give for someone you work with, for that money I would give a voucher for a wildlife experience, walk with wolves, falconry something like that.

Thehop · 04/07/2019 12:49

Please don’t. Far better to make a donation to a wildlife trust in their name if you want to go down that path. Monkeys on clothes screams abuse and it’s honestly quite ugly.

I tend to stick to money in a card.

glitterbiscuits · 04/07/2019 12:49

They really would need two so they can have one each.
And it would look better with a hat.

Sparadrap · 04/07/2019 12:50

@NotAsDrunkAsYouThinkIAm I think you might be drunk!

I love wildlife and animals very much. But I really really don’t love that thing!

Readytogogogo · 04/07/2019 12:50

Well I can't unsee that.

Lipz · 04/07/2019 12:51

Omg it's a joke yeah ? Like where would you actually put it ? On your pillow -in the bin-

NotAsDrunkAsYouThinkIAm · 04/07/2019 12:51

Hmm, perhaps this one would be better?

Monkey Business?

Lipz · 04/07/2019 12:52

2nd one is even more scarier. I need some acid or something to burn those images from my brain

wichitalinemanswoman · 04/07/2019 12:53

Ffs NO

Stayawayfromitsmouth · 04/07/2019 12:53

Is it a real baby orangutan?
I want a vote button!

MissmyScottie · 04/07/2019 12:53

Ok so you are definitely taking the p**s now!

Sparadrap · 04/07/2019 12:53

No, the second one is just as bad as it’s creepy mate.
