DD wants one of these.

Start 'em young and they'll meekly hand over stacks of cash for some ludicrous "pampering" at an ever earlier age, as if a hot bath and an uninterrupted hour with a good book won't produce the same effect.

I just can't believe what a load of shit it is. Don't even know where to start.

Horrific.

A real foot spa is the same farkin price and is also one those heart sinking presents because they are really shit.

Yes thecrackfox and they take up space

The sheer bloody pointlessness of it

The women I know with Clairol Footspas all have them because their DPs bought them, because they wanted to sneakily use them themselves.

That toy one doesn't even vibrate, and the beady things are going to get lost anyway. What a crap toy.

Get her a tropical fish tank, she can be nibbled and educated at the same time?

AIBU to be a bit disappointed that no one has ever given me a foot spa? They make the rounds every Christmas and I could use one. I have super crusty feet which get quite painful and can't be arsed to sit in the tub for hours. Dh gets a bit funny about my using the kettle and filling up the pots and pans to soak my feet

That one is a bit though, how old is your dd basil? Do get kids need foots spas to relax away the day's stress?

Hmm. This is reminding me of the hobby thread, when SGB pointed out that much basic grooming is painted as a "hobby" or "leisure" for women. Hence a bath, rather then just being a way of getting clean or a pleasant half hour is advertised as the height of indulgent luxury.

Even by the woeful standard of toys today, this is a low.

You can get the beady things in floristry supply places for pennies.

Loads of toys that are asked for, are crap, really.

DS has a Hot Wheels Shark Bite Bay that has been played with maybe twice.

However, things like wooden "food" was played with over and over by all three DC.

An item like that is likely to sit in a cupboard, taking up space, after being used once.

My God Basil that is shit. Poor you! That's about all I have to say on it. You have my sympathy

DD2 did this with hama beads at a sleep over. You can imagine the mess. Not to mention how long I had sieves of beads drying all over the kitchen.

Don't do it.
