Mum shares innocent gift idea for her son and people call it 'awful' and 'cringe'

With just nine days to go until Christmas Day, parents across the country will be rushing around to buy last minute gifts for their children's stockings as the festive pressure is truly on.

One mum has faced serious backlash after she shared the gift idea she has for her 14-year-old son, as many have branded it 'awful' and 'random' as well as 'cringe'. The innocent suggestion has caused quite the stir on Mumsnet after the parent shared her concept onto the forum - as people can't believe that she wants to go ahead with it.
