Mum fills three trolleys with Christmas gifts for her four-year-old daughter

A single mum has shocked hundreds of parents on social media after stuffing three shopping trolleys with Christmas presents for her four-year-old daughter.

Sharing photos of the buys to a popular Facebook group, Casey, from Queensland, picked up the toys from Big W on Tuesday.

Some of her purchases included a Pokémon plush toy, Action Spots trampoline, Polly Pocket Pajama Party Sleepover Adventure House Playset and a Barbie Patio Set. 

‘Got little miss four’s lay-by out, so excited to put them with the rest of the presents I have already got her,’ Casey wrote. 

But she was quickly criticised by some who claimed she’s ‘spoiling’ her daughter far too much.

Some of her purchases included a Pokémon plush toy, Action Spots trampoline, Polly Pocket Pajama Party Sleepover Adventure House Playset and a Barbie Patio Set. While she didn’t reveal how everything cost on this occasion, last year Casey spent a whopping $1500

In the comments Casey revealed she doesn’t own a car and ordered an Uber home to transport the huge number of toys from the store.

Between now and Christmas the gifts will be kept out of sight in a spare bathroom that’s locked and unused. 

And while she didn’t reveal how everything cost on this occasion, last year Casey spent a whopping $1500. 

More than 230 people commented on the post, many left to question why so many toys were bought.  

‘No child needs this let alone more than this it’s a lil overwhelming for a child life experiences or a holiday or get ahead on some bills a child has all it needs already,’ one woman wrote. 

‘If she was my niece or granddaughter she would be getting squat from me if I knew this is what they were getting,’ another said. 

A third mum added: ‘As someone who has raised four kids and spent lots of money over the years buying gifts I can tell you it is a regret having done so. 

‘None of the kids barely even remember a quarter of the presents they received nor do they care about the toys they got as kids. 

‘That money would have been much better off being invested so they could buy their first car or go on their first plane ride etc. especially as a single parent.’

Someone else claimed Casey was ‘bragging’ about what she bought.

But she was quickly criticised by some who claimed she’s ‘spoiling’ her daughter far too much

Despite the backlash Casey revealed what she does as her daughter outgrows the toys bought over the years.

‘I was just wondering if you do pay It forwards of older toys from last year? I’m only asking as it would be great to set up a pay it forward for those who are in need this Christmas,’ one person asked.

Casey said she gives the toys away if her daughter doesn’t express any interest in the old toys.

‘I also make her pick some toys out of the store before Christmas and give them to others who have nothing,’ she said.
