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?

Is this a joke or do you not like them?
Sponsor a goat in their name or something instead.

WellErrr · 04/07/2019 12:55

You must be having a laugh

Stressedout10 · 04/07/2019 12:55

Omg no just no
Anything along those lines is just wrong

Apolloanddaphne · 04/07/2019 12:55

You are taking the piss aren't you?

StCharlotte · 04/07/2019 12:56

Are you Danny Baker?

BelindasRedPlasticHandcuffs · 04/07/2019 12:57

Is this some weird attempt at advertising?

Just no.

Afairopinion · 04/07/2019 12:58

I can’t stop laughing at this thread though 😂

BlackCatSleeping · 04/07/2019 12:58

I’m a little disappointed they aren’t bog lovers. Sad

I think they are both lovely. It must be hard to choose. I think any couple would love such a thoughtfully chosen present over something boring like money.

Ha, ha ha Grin

You cannot be serious Grin

hibbledibble · 04/07/2019 13:00

This is a joke right?

That doll is disturbing.

I wonder if this is an attempt to get into the daily mail to publicise the doll.

Idontwanttotalk · 04/07/2019 13:01

Big lovers of wildlife - so you buy them a monkey doll dressed up like a baby? Wtf? This doesn't say wildlife at all. It is hideous that it is dressed in human clothing. I don't think monkeys, gorillas etc do that in the wild.

If they have a garden it might be better to buy them a bird box, ladybird house and box for bees to encourage wildlife into their garden or pay for a year's subscription to a suitable magazine.

Ok, get the baby one but buy a pram so they can take it out

BikeRunSki · 04/07/2019 13:04

Can’t you just get them a bird table?

I’m failing to see the connection between loving wildlife and baby monkey dolls.

AguerosAngel · 04/07/2019 13:05

They’re hideous...

NotAsDrunkAsYouThinkIAm · 04/07/2019 13:05

No, no! I'm not selling these dolls!

Perhaps some sort of wildlife experience or subscription would be a better alternative.

NotAsDrunkAsYouThinkIAm · 04/07/2019 13:07

@glitterbiscuits Unfortunately I can't afford the pram as well. Moses basket?

OP if this isn’t a joke then your username is a lie and you must be drunk! So very, very drunk indeed🤣

DontDribbleOnTheCarpet · 04/07/2019 13:09

That's superb! I may get one for my husband's vacuous niece and her philandering fiancé. I've been struggling to find something passive-aggressive enough, but one of those will do nicely. Thy live nearby, so I could take to popping in and pointedly looking around for my lovely gift.

In all seriousness, I can't stand the niece or her man, but there is no human being that I hate enough to inflict one of those on!

HighlyUnlikely · 04/07/2019 13:11

That thing hadn't better start appearing in the ads on here.

Stuff of nightmares

Shivermetimbers0112 · 04/07/2019 13:11

Why be so tight? Give them a real present.

FunInTheSun2019 · 04/07/2019 13:12

This has made me laugh so much 😂😂

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 04/07/2019 13:12

Get them a year's subscription to the bat conservation trust :)

Some people would see this as a passive-aggressive gesture; and depending upon the giver, it could definitely be that. My MiL would be capable of giving me this to convey the message that she thinks I'm an old bat. But I'd be over the moon to receive it!

Douberry · 04/07/2019 13:13

Omg the creepiest thing I've seen in a while. No. Just. NOShock

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 04/07/2019 13:14

@Shivermetimbers0112 - that image made me snort even more than the original post Grin
