I can't stand them and hubs doesn't know what to get little girls (she's 5) so this year I bought her a colour your own purse (comes with permanent markers...it said 3+!) and create your own nail polish. We got their little man (3 y/o) a kids digital camera.</p> <p>A few years ago someone else (I think another uncle) bought them hungry hungry hippos and they were like "REALLY? You had to buy the LOUDEST game out there?" haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-gifted-something-annoyingmessy-to-someone-elses-lo#post-1301141 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 11:10:09 +0000 Smurfette 1301141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to buy my nephews the loudest gifts I could find! My brother got R the B Toys Drum set for Christmas as payback. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-gifted-something-annoyingmessy-to-someone-elses-lo#post-1301102 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 10:41:12 +0000 Aimed 1301102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to do this to my sister on purpose! Water guns, paint, the works, I was I'm my 20s with no kids so I thought it was hilarious. At the time she vowed revenge when I would have kids. It's probably time for me to worry about vengeance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-gifted-something-annoyingmessy-to-someone-elses-lo#post-1301099 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 10:39:23 +0000 Dandelion 1301099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother and I have this little war about this. Last birthday for DS they gave DS a knock knock joke book. (Guess who had to listen to all the jokes?) But I alway give my niece something a little annoying too lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-gifted-something-annoyingmessy-to-someone-elses-lo#post-1301088 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 10:35:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1301088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a joke I did it for my best friend and her kid's first birthday. We got a big set of musical instruments (drum, piano, guitar, etc) and a baby doll that cried and made lots of noises. </p> <p>As a joke she got my DD the same stuff for her first birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-gifted-something-annoyingmessy-to-someone-elses-lo#post-1301085 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 10:34:29 +0000 littlebug 1301085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few years ago, I gifted a friend of mine this really annoying turtle. At the time I thought it was kind of funny. But I wasn't a parent yet. Now, I actually feel kind of terrible about it. He probably hated me a little bit for it. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-gifted-something-annoyingmessy-to-someone-elses-lo#post-1301052 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 10:18:29 +0000 babycanuck 1301052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it may give you a name/stigma, but have you ever done it to someone you aren't that fond of? </p> <p>Not trying to be snarky, just curious. </p>
