Sponsor a donkey for them in their name at a donkey sanctuary or a years subscription to national geographic.

Littleblurry · 04/07/2019 15:46

I have these at home! I like to call them my babies.

OP should have put 'lighthearted' in her title Grin

Sandybval · 04/07/2019 15:47

YWBVVVVVVVVU those are terrifying Grin

SugarHockeyIcedTea · 04/07/2019 15:47

Fuck me this thread is horrible and hysterical!

NotAsDrunkAsYouThinkIAm · 04/07/2019 15:47

@Littleblurry What?! I'm deadly serious! Shock

Adopt an animal for them at the local zoo, they'll regular updates and reduced or free entry. Might depend on how they feel about zoos though.

I like monkeys. I like stuffed animals. That doll is still horrific.

Tbf it'd certainly be a memorable present though.

And they can visit their ape that has been rescued - adoption gives free entry for a year

Mitzicoco · 04/07/2019 15:59

The OP is very obviously taking the piss.

NotAsDrunkAsYouThinkIAm · 04/07/2019 16:15

@Hecateh That's a really nice touch that people can visit.

That is hideous just hideous. If you want to remain friends I would say leave this monster on the shelf.

HazelBite · 04/07/2019 16:44

I reckon you could use one of these to make a new horror film a sort of King Kong meets Childsplay!!

MyGastIsFlabbered · 04/07/2019 16:49

Dear god, I'll never sleep again 🙈

NotAsDrunkAsYouThinkIAm · 04/07/2019 17:03

@Mitzicoco I am deeply wounded that you think me capable of such a thing. Sad

I'm waiting keenly for the return thread.

AIBU to think my friend is a Grade A Cunt for getting me this bastard-ugly freakish Frankenstein of a fucking MONKEY for my wedding gift

That's what I'm waiting for

Littleblurry · 04/07/2019 19:17

Many apologies OP. Your sincerity is now shining through.

Perhaps consider buying a real baby monkey, dressing it up and giving it as a present.

MummyofTw0 · 04/07/2019 19:26

This is just frigging weird

Are you high?

SRK16 · 04/07/2019 19:58

😂😂😂😂😂 these are amazing, I really hope you do get one for them 🙊

NotAsDrunkAsYouThinkIAm · 04/07/2019 20:09

@Littleblurry That would be cruel and quite rightly get me arrested.

BlueMerchant · 04/07/2019 20:12

Lovely, a collectable. You could give one every big anniversary. Family heirlooms.

NeckPainChairSearch · 04/07/2019 20:19

Hmmm...your posting style is familiar somehow, OP. I can't help noticing that this monkey wedding thread started around the same time as the tapering off of the Silver Service Dinner Party one.

Nah. I'm just being cynical, aren't I? Grin

NotAsDrunkAsYouThinkIAm · 04/07/2019 20:40

In all seriousness, Neck Pain, I don't know that thread. Honestly.

I may BU but considering how much the couple in question love monkeys, I really think they'd like it. They're a bit odd.
