WE'RE TAUGHT to be thankful for any gifts we receive from an early age.
But one mum has revealed she's fed up with people buying her daughter junk for her birthday.
The mum, from the UK, took to her TikTok account, Month of Sunday, to reveal why she wants people to stop buying gifts and give her cash or gift cards instead.
"Stop buying my child junk, that is the long and short of it.
"I know I'm going to sound ungrateful but right now I don't care, I've had enough," revealed the mum.
She went on to explain that if people ask what her daughter wants for her birthday she tells them there is nothing that she needs – but people still buy her gifts.

While the mum confesses she also likes to buy her friends' children gifts, she reveals she buys thoughtful gifts or gives them a gift card.
But the mum reveals she can't stand thoughtless gifts and slammed people who gave her child 'junk' that the gift givers wouldn't want in their house or have just re-gifted to her child.
"When I'm buying your kids stuff I'm buying quality things, I'm buying things I've actually put thought into," she adds.
She also explains that if she didn't have the money to get something she would be honest and buy something they actually want later.
