    I had a friend who always maintained that if you wanted to get even with a family member, just buy their child a drum for Christmas - preferably a tin one.

    A ref's whistle is a must for the children of soccer fans everywhere :)

    Cheap tat. Please don't buy her anything rather than a piece of rubbish plastic toy with hundreds of bits that don't fit properly/are terrible quality.

    Anything that makes them go "OH YEAH OH YEAH OH YEAH OH YEAH" like that little noise box/the spawn of Satan from the An Post ad.

    See for reference:

    A Quality Street or Afternoon Tea biscuit tin can be extremely annoying in the right hands.

    Bop-it. Makes me want to commit terrible deeds on the person giving it.

    It.
    Serves.
    No.
    Purpose!

    Well, other than tell me where to hit it which I am going to do anyway.

    And flash lights.

    Won't somebody think of the parents?
