Chucky Mama Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 DD who is 15 asked if I could get a male friend a token birthday present. So I picked up a bubble kit from Lidl for about £2.99. It had different blowing thingies - one that whistled, one that spun around and one with different shapes etc. Apparently it was a huge success with gangs of teenagers having a really great time with a really 'uncool' present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffy chick Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I know what you mean, I think my 2 yr old has one. Think we've played with it more than him though! it's my nana's birthday today. She is in a dementia home and practically wheelchair bound with bad eyesight. She has everything she needs and won't remember presents within 10mins of opening them. I made her a pot of jam and some scones, got ds to draw her a picture and framed it. Wrapped it all in pretty tissue and wrote her a handmade card. It cost literally nothing and she was really touched by it (for a few minutes anyway!) Money isn't everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I recently went to Whitby with my OH & left 3 of my kids aged 26 & 22, in charge of the chickens. As a thank you pressie I bought them a beachball, a rockpool fishing net & a hoolahoop, they were really pleased!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Bubbles are My teenagers had a great time amking sand castles on the beach on a holiday in Wales at easter and I saw a group of uni students playing with a kids toy that vibrated and bounced randomly around the floor in a local charity shop this lunchtime, they had that proper look of delight on their faces that only comes from finding your inner child They bought it too.

craftyhunnypie Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I always wanted a giant bubble hoop! I also like those swords that they sell on markets. You pull them out & wave them like a looney to get loads of bubbles. Lovely! Lewis you really should have your bubble gun at Uni! Can just imagine loads of bubbles & a barbie on South Beach!

craftyhunnypie Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Right that's it - next time I go a market I am going to buy a bubble sword! In Argos on Friday, a 40 odd year old man was buying a Space Hopper. I now want one of those too! Picture the scene... Emma in her PJ's & pink wellies, going down the track on a space hopper, waving her bubble sword like a looney! Nice! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I want to know how you'll hang on to the space hopper and the sword at the same time Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 I want to know how you'll hang on to the space hopper and the sword at the same time Sha x You'd need some sort of scabbard I think that with practise you should be able to whip the sword out at intervals to deliver a hefty dose of bubbles without loosing control of the space hopper - it's doable I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 One hand on space hopper, the other waving my sword - with the bubble sword holder tied around me. Don't you know anything?! I will need a fellow space hopper person to follow & trumpet - toot toot tooodoooo! I am so going to get these two things now - you just wait! What else would I need to be a Space hopper, bubble blowing Cavalier? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
