Don’t forget noisy. Have you considered an Otamatone?

The ideal "fuck you, parents" present must be noisy, and yet must require no batteries. Drums & cymbals are a good choice, as is a vuvuzela or an Aztec death whistle.

A vuvuzela is mean. I'm not even related to you (I think), and I want to disown you for that suggestion.

the absolute best fuck you present is no present at all, there is
nothing
parents like more than kids that have nothing to do

As a parent: no. We have way more toys than necessary, and yet keep getting more from all sides. All the parents I know have the same situation.

There are five stuffed tigers on the floor of our living room right now, liberated from their packages.
There are 37 more in the child's bedroom.

I am 51 and have never (nor will ever) buy a toy for a human - pets only

I'm confused. Are you bragging that you never gifted a toy in 51 years?
