revenge - to be sweet by Saturday!

Friend has bought DD an extremely annoying birthday present. Christmas is coming, and with it the opportunity for revenge. What annoying gift can I buy for a four year old girl? Sadly it can't be moonsand - friend already knows about this and I would like some tiny element of plausible deniability! I'm not entirely sure my friend intended to be annoying... but she didn't try very hard not to be!

Any ideas?!

Maybe something musical and loud?

(which cannot possibly be in any way intentionally annoying as it is so delightfully educational)

Hama beads - the little buggers get EVERYWHERE! Xmas Grin

I was thinking about a karaoke microphone, but that's too obvious. Maybe a recorder then? They can be earsplitting with the right encouragement

Ooh, yes, we have some Hama beads and DD is obsessed with them. I'd have to make sure they didn't come in a handy jar, but in those little bags...

Blow pens

Anything with slime

Zingzillas guitar! It. Never. Shuts. Up.

unclefluffy · 10/12/2012 13:58

Just looked at the reviews for those... I think blow pens have more plausible deniability, but the guitar looks about as annoying as they come!

Oh we have the zingzillas guitar and by far the most annoying this ever.

You think it's stopped and then very now and then it comes it with another phrase which is loud enough to be audible from
The cupboard you have hidden it away in. And then the child wants it out again and you're back to square one.

Definitely gets my vote!

Another vote for the zingzillas guitar!!

combining sticky, fiddly and glitter

what's not to like?

SledsImOn · 10/12/2012 14:46

Why make their lives harder - come on. Smile

I'm sure they meant nothing by it. Get the child something you think she'll actually like.

unclefluffy · 10/12/2012 21:12

Sleds, I reckon I can do both...! DD loves Hama beads, so hers might too. And, well, they do get everywhere... Wink

:)

The worst thing we ever had was a doll that turned red and cried that it was ill. You had to ram a dummy in its mouth to shut it up. It used to start up in the middle of the night sometimes and we'd be woken by dd2 screaming the house down, having been woken herself by the scary doll shouting at her in the darkness.

Truly hideous - wonder if they still make them? :)

Definitely those little plastic calls you put together to make a picture then squirt with water to set. Can't remember what they are called - aqua beads?

Being round they roll everywhere, and they never stick together properly.

Far more annoying than hama beads.

cazza2878 · 10/12/2012 22:17

Agree about aqua beads (much worse than hama beads). Dd has recently term given a huge set but think she's forgotten about it as not asked for it since - thinking of re-gifting ( or is tgats reeeeaaaalllyy bad?)
