Horrible horrible present mix up involving sex toys. I have to go back in an hour.

I just met my best friend for a coffee, to give her her 30th Birthday present before she goes off for a childfree sexfest week in Mauritius with her DH as a 30th Birthday present Envy. I got her a pair of very naughty Agent Provocateur, knickers, karma sutra guide, hand cuffs, a feather boa, and this chocolatey lube stuff .I hasten to add this was intended as a joke, I actually got her a day at a spa. She unwrapped a boys top from Zara Kids, a small puzzle and a power ranger action doll thingy.

This means the 4 year old boy whose party my DT'S are at has unwrapped her present. Shock Shock Shock Shock Shock. I know for a fact it has been opened as there had been a small mix up with times, and they had to wait 10 minutes to be allowed into the soft play, and so when I was leaving the birthday boy's mum was calling them over to open presents to pass the time.

WHY did I use identical wrapping paper? But more importantly what do I do when I go to fetch them in an hour? Even worse, the whole of their nursery room was invited, plus a few other friends, the majority of which are there. Doubly doubly worse, I was the only mum/nanny to leave, so they will all know.

HELP

See I knew it was a wind up when someone claimed to buy their mate Agent Provacateur knickers and sex toys. I don't like anyone enough to spend 50-100£ on a pair of pants.


Also if I had 2 gifts to give out and one was full of sex toys and one was for a child.. I'd label them.

I so want this to be true. Grin

The only way this could be funnier would be if I was picking up one of my kids from a soft play party about now.

I think you need to calm down. You only bought the sex stuff. It wasn't like they were for you (though obviously fine if they were since you appear to be a grown up). Birthday mother will just be assuming that everyone will talk about the sex presents and not the party that cost oodles so will calm down in a few weeks.

Right so we are back home and that was horrific BlushBlushBlushBlushBlushBlush.

PFB's mum graciously accepted the real present and the flowers, and listened to me grovel explain the mix up, but didn't look too impressed and handed me a carrier bag with 'the present'. Blush. I grabbed this and the DT's and ran. They then got very upset because they forgot their party bags and I wouldn't let them go back.

I got several 'knowing looks' from the other mums/ nanny's there but didn't stay long enough for any conversation. I am dreading the start of term.

Also I just read back the last few pages and I wish this was just trollery I really do. I think the only reason they started cleaning the ball pool was because they thought it was a leaking nappy, otherwise I highly doubt they would have bothered. I could't bring myself to ask if they stopped once they realised what it actually was. Blush.

I am trying to think of something constructive and sympathetic to type.

You should have asked if anyone had handed the knickers into lost property. Grin Don't worry about it, sure most people just thought it was hilarious!

I gave BF the contents of the bag as it was her present, but the AP knickers weren't there, and I don't think I can ring either PFB's mum or the soft play Blush Blush.

I don't have a phone due to the bath incident last night but I will ask her to text a photo to DH, and I will try and work out how to upload it.
