Passive Agressive Gifts





Has someone in your life wronged or annoyed you in this past year but you still need to buy them a gift to not start a family feud? Maybe they have perfectly wonderful children that you can use as a pawn in your revenge scheme. Then this post is for you.


Let's focus on gifts for kids.

1. Anything that makes noise
This can literally be any toy that makes noise but let's go next level with this. Now don't get me wrong my kid loves the noise and some instruments are perfectly acceptable, but that's not our goal here.

VTech KidiBeats Drum Set (Frustration Free Packaging)
VTech Kidi Beats Drum Set
Meet the drum set. VTech Kidi Beats Drum Set. An actual drum set would be too obvious but this drum set has been listed on hot toy lists. You only want the best for their child after all and it must be on that list for a reason.
(P.S. it's on sale!)

My second pick is the VTech Record & Learn KidiStudio.
You don't have to hear a critically acclaimed catchy tune over and over, no, they can record and replay their OWN music. THEIR OWN MUSIC. Nothing annoying about that.

Finally in this category, I give you the microphone and/or karaoke set. Wasn't it so cute the first time your kid sang Let it Go? You couldn't believe they knew all the words! When did they get so smart! And that adorable little voice mispronouncing some things in the cutest way! Was it cute the 5th time? What about the 5th time literally right in a row? Now flash forward to the 50th-500th time and try to not curse as you describe them singing this song. You hear it in your dreams now don't you. It's haunting you. You probably are signing it now because I keep writing about it. Sorry, not sorry.

If that made you want to buy a microphone for someone, here's an inexpensive option to get you started: Laugh & Learn Rock & Record Microphone, only $12.99.

2. Playdoh
I'm guilty of giving Play doh, kids really do love it and I loved it as a kid but I can also see how it's annoying.
The gift that keeps giving! Find it in your carpet next week! Peel it from a child's hair as they scream! What fun! Check out this fun factory kit on sale for $4, fun is literally in the name.

Play-Doh Fun Factory Set 
3. Any craft supply that includes glitter
Glitter everywhere forever. 
4. Any toy that involves the parents to put together 50+ small pieces
 Hope you don't lose any as you lay them out on the floor and try to follow the instructions with your kid running around all excited touching everything
5. Any toy that requires a crazy sized battery you know they probably don't have
(bonus points if you have to go find a screwdriver)
You know the kid wants to play with it right away and yet that elusive screwdriver can never be found in these moments. Even if they find it for they have the 3 C size batteries this toy requires?
6. Any toy that requires multiple stickers to be placed on it (looking at you Barbie airplane)

Target offers Back to School Teacher Discount in July

Target announced they plan to revive a sale from 2018 that offers teachers a weeklong 15% discount on select items. The sale starts July 13th and will include school supplies and other essentials for classrooms, like disinfecting wipes and tissues (I can't imagine how many teachers go through!), but some new items are going to be included this year. Target announced that Pillowfort furniture and Bullseye's Playground items are going to be included, but I think the biggest benefit is that men and women's clothing is also going to be included, plus shoes! I think that is totally awesome that this expanded selection is included and Target has a lot of professional clothing to pick from. Electronics, backpacks and lunch boxes are excluded at this time, but I'm sure there will be back to school sales available to all later in the summer where you can snag these items for a discount. As mentioned this sale is for teachers and geared towards K-12, but any teach...
