One of my closest friends played a cruel, cruel joke on me this year.
She gave my daughter a grossly huge hunk-o-plastic toy for her birthday. Not just your ordinary hunk you can make vanish in the middle of the night. Oh no, she went all out and upped the ante by giving her a Frozen-themed vanity. Not only is this thing HUGE, but it's brightly colored and it SINGS.

But wait, there's more. It also has a million pieces between the hair dryer, pretend lipstick, hair barrettes, etc. It is everything I don't want in my house and everything my daughter adores. This toy is a cruel gift to the mom who will want to smash it with a hammer on the 12th round of "For the First Time in Forever," and it's also the first toy my kids run for in the morning. I love my friend and I love that my daughter loves this perfect gift, but oh do I secretly want to force it to its death by garbage bag and make it go away.
If you're looking to drive your friends bananas or need a gift for a frenemy's child, I've got you covered. Here are the gifts you're going to want to get:

2. Kinetic Sand (Amazon, $27.34)

You can find kinetic sand in all different types of kits at different price points. I hat...
