*lighthearted* kids presents

[vegansprinkle]

Someone who I thought was a good friend, brought DS a belated birthday gift (when I had insisted it wasn't necessary). And that gift was.... a box of kinetic sand (which is now mainly spread all over my living room floor...).

What delights can I offer her child in return for Christmas? I need to start planning my revenge now...

Something involving glitter. Maybe a Glitter By Numbers "painting" set.

Or a mouth organ.

Make your own slime kit. It never works.

Aquabeads. They go everywhere!

Or my first band toy...

Kinetic sand actually cleans up really well. Get the dust pan & brush. See for yourself. Stop trying to think of a way of getting revenge. If she's your good friend, she wouldn't have done it maliciously. Also, its not her fault you wasn't watching your child playing with the stuff. 🤦‍♀️

Yeh those water bead things....shame loom bands died out

There's always one... @IamwhoIwanttobe it's light hearted. And I have just finished cleaning it up.

Glitter.... oooooohhh cackles and taps fingers together

Kinetic sand is fab! DS loves it and it’s easier to clean up than play dough.
I buy it as a present for people I like.

Ps: @IamwhoIwanttobe yes it was her fault actually, I was in the garden hanging out washing and she gave him the gift directly, without my knowledge or presence. The first I knew was when I came back into the house...

A recorder...

For his first christmas,my mil gave my three month old a football rattle thing - you know the one you swing round and round. They're very loud. Also he could not hold it.

My bil buys gifts my kids love but he hates so I'm waiting for him to have a child so I can send them a drum kit.

Drum kit

A recorder and the Frozen songbook

Never have I hated anyone more than the friend who bought my daughter a recorder and a tambourine 😅

Or a violin, worst sound ever when the kid can't play it

Marble run!

It's so annoying. The DC will make the adults build it. And it breaks all the time so they will need to fix it constantly.

It's by far the most annoying toy my DS has ever had.

Recorders!!!!!!

@duvetaddict this is my favourite so far. I am happy to spring for a second hand violin...

Several whoppee cushions that the kids can leave scattered around the house!

@vegansprinkle I had one, I was horrendous!

100% a recorder ... one for each of her children

A tambourine!

A vuvuzela

High-heeled princess shoes (favourite present of my daughter for her 4th birthday, nearly sprained her ankle every time she wore them), microphone (we have one and hasn't been charged for 2 years, my children are loud enough without it), any singing doll...

Those spiky ball things that join together. Absolute bastard if they get in hair

@Seriouslyconfused3 that sounds painful! I don't want to hurt them.

Yeah someone got them for my dc and I’m still bitter about it
