‘Where are the toys?’ mum shamed after ‘spoiling’ her ten-year-old kid with a Gucci bag, Nike slippers & Sol De Janeiro
A MUM has found herself shamed by other parents after gifting her ten-year-old daughter a pile of lavish gifts, including a posh designer bag and Nike slippers.
With the festive season now officially over, many have taken to TikTok to show off their gift hauls and what landed under their fir trees this year - and one of those jumping on the trend was also parent Courtney Gibson.
However, unfortunately for the young mum-of-three, she was soon shamed for ''spoiling'' her ten-year-old by showering her with designer gear and other pricey buys.
Some of the pressies her daughter found all wrapped up for her included a real Gucci bag that cost her over £270, a pair of fuzzy Nike slippers which go for around £40 on Etsy, as well as a cute bracelet from Pandora.
Another item the child had reportedly asked for was a set of special facial rollers for her skincare routine, a fancy coconut whop toothpaste from Hi Smile for a tenner and the viral body spray by Sol de Janeiro, a small 90ml bottle of which will set you back by more than £20.
All of her kids, she went on in the video, also received a smartwatch and posh AirPods - however, the mum quickly added that these had been ''kindly sent'' and not purchased by her.

Another item Courtney did buy was the daughter's first-ever Pandora bracelet, which was ''the cutest thing ever'' and came with a T-shaped charm.
There were also a few pressies the mum-of-three had bagged from Tesco, including a sparkly pink notepad, as well as a book, silk pyjamas and a make-up bag to store all of her beauty buys her grandma had gifted her.
But although the ten-year-old may have been all chuffed with the pressies and couldn't believe she finally had her very own designer bag, the reaction online was slightly different.
Hundreds of TikTok users raced to comments to share their thoughts on the gift haul, with many wondering why a child would ''need a Gucci bag''.
One reckoned: ''You got a ten year old makeup and a Gucci bag… read that again. There’s something wrong with this generation.''
Another agreed, writing: ''This is so sad. 10 years old and not a toy in sight.''
''My goodness, things have changed, at 10 we wanted toys, we didn't even think of our skin, they're adult gifts, being a child is a gift, they're losing childhood,'' someone else chimed in.
''Very sad. Nice gifts for maybe somebody older but please let her be a child. This is why apps like this ruin kids today,'' a fellow social media user penned.
However, amidst all the hate were also plenty of kind comments, with many hitting back at the meanies and praising the mum.
One said: ''The bag is literally the only “big” present, most kids her age are getting £900 iPhones…I love how well you know her, I would’ve been delighted with this when I was younger.''
''This comment section is insane! This girl has obvs had a lovely Xmas. Children have different interests/ taste and whether or not that is appropriate,'' a second added.
After being slammed on the platform, Courtney, too, shared a response to the people shaming her parenting.
''Social media is my second job so I’m aware of how bitter people can be, lucky for them doesn’t affect me.
''She got a lot of other crap, believe me. But quality over quantity, I always say.''
