i got this for my niece's b'day: is it a shit present?

michael_w [Edit] [Delete] 19:55, 13 September '09

i wanted to get her a cuddly toy type thing from fao schwarz but it was all the usual stuff she's had a milion times.......until i saw this little fella

http://www.shopatron.com/products/productdetail/part_number=10421/322.0.24702.0.0.0.0?

i genuinly find it charming but every person i've shown it to has made a face like i'm giving her soiled underwear

so now i dunno....

i think it's either

a) quite endearing and a unique pal for her to knock about with for years to come

b) a bit scary....might traumatise her

c) a bit too self-consciously wacky uncle territory......'oh-ho....look at what silly uncle michael got you...god...those bloody uncles eh?'

thoughts?

i've already got her other stuff so if it's a bad idea i can just keep him for myself...he seems the sort of disillusioned pal i could do with around the house.
