'I've bought my son Sellotape for Christmas - people say it's junk but he loves it'

While most youngsters might ask for toys or games consoles for Christmas, one little boy is hoping to find something a bit different under the tree, due to his love for Sellotape. To fulfil her son's wishes on Christmas Day morning, a mum has purchased her nine-year-old Sellotape alongside a stapler to open on the special day.

While the child is said to adore making models from "waste", the woman's husband has slammed their son's gift as "rubbish". Admitting that her little one adores crafting, the woman took to Mumsnet to ask whether she's being unreasonable to gift her son the niche gift despite the backlash.

Captioning the post, she wrote: "My son wants Sellotape for Xmas."
