UWP (Unidentified Wrapped Present) needs identifying. Anyonw fancy playing sherlock

[DoNotsAntlers]

Tis aimed at a 7yo girl (which might help) but from grandparents so think losely 7yo girl IYSWIM.
Box is huge. About 2.6-3' by about 1' by about 6". but it tapers a bit towards one end (on the 1' dimension)

The only thinkg that we can think of is those toddler sized standing "doll" things...but we think they are a bit "young" for a 7yo.

Please somene tell me that they are not those standing toddler doll things....Please someone come up with a sensible alternative

Guitar?

Oh no, wrong size/shape on second reading.

Some sort of mircophone thing?

can you not peel a wee bit off wrapping ?

6ft? A netball hoop and stand?

peel off wrapping!

will the gps see her unwrapping it?

If not, then unwrap and rewrap

a bratz thing?

telescope and stand?

How heavy is it? Does it rattle, or are there any loose bits inside?

dh thinks I'm not being helpful in suggesting you unwrap and have a peak...it is only a day and a bit away....

Oh oh - Cut the selotape off at one end (you have to be REALLY careful) and then you can look, reseal and wahey!

aaliyah - have you done this before????

Me? Never!! LMAO.

I used to do it when I was younger to see whether my parents had bought me what I wanted. LOL

Dunno about weight....DTDs carried them in so I am guessing light.

I did actually suggest in jest last night that it could be a violin.

Budget would be £20 give or take I expect.

They always ask what they should buy - and this year they haven't...and I just know that it will be a disaster something lovely and appropriate.

I have suggested the sneak peak but DP has vetoed me...

dolls house? or one of those disgusting pig ugly dolls that walks?

It is only about 3-4" narrower at one end so it doesn't come to a point or anything.

It think the sides feel like that firm clear plastic that dolsl typically come displayed in.

Oh and there are 2 of them as I have twins...so if it was a telescope they would have bought 1 to share IYSWIM.

can i get the measurements right?

3 foot x 1 foot x 6 inches
or
3 foot x 1 foot x 6 foot?

3 foot by 1 foot (which tapers) by 6 inches

oh god, i am right a huge plastic doll to give the girls nightmres for ever!
Chucky - eat your heart out.

Oh crikey. I wonder? I'd not be able to resist slitting the tape with a knife and undoing a bit. I think it is v important for parents to veto any ridiculously awful presents before children are traumatised.

I had to do it a few times with my sister's presents for ds1.

One year it was roller skates (he was 3 - think attach-to-your-trainers two wheeled heelie ones, that would kill him in seconds.)

another year (he was 2 i think) a thin glass lightbulb on a stand that you plug into a live socket and touch and it sends lightning bolts to your fingertips.

Yay, well thought out sis!

ok.

look here
at the wrapped pic - does it look about like that?

then toddler doll i'm afraid!

No Bollock Brain...you are wrong...you must be wrong...you cannot possibly be right....they are for 7yo girls FFS.

but just look at all the cute clothes you can dress them in.....

Some kind of keyboard? again more like a sharing gift though...I mean, that's what they could be.

Dammit woman, you need to open one end and l;ook!!!

you absolutely have to tell us now!

get scissors and cut through the sellotape
{see my previous thread on opening presents!!)
then you can just stick more sellotape over the old stuff.
noone will ever know.....
