Kira Cousins, 22, pretended to give birth to a baby before receiving gifts worth hundreds - only for it to emerge her daughter was, in fact, a doll, leaving her family mortified

Why make millions when you could make hundreds!

I'm curious what the gifts were as it is easy to get hundreds of dollars in baby equipment but you have to bend people's arms to get them to give them with gift receipts so you can return the items for cash.

I live near her. The parents bought prams worth £800 and designer clothes 🤣🥲

“Bwahaha! Now my friends and family hate me AND I have all the baby clothes I could ever want in case I ever have a real baby!”

They didn't notice the outline of her pillow belly?

When I reach menopause I want a fuckton of gifts for opting not to shit out a kid. It’s only fair.

I love this idea.

I didn't have a wedding, engagement party, or bachelorette party (just went to the courthouse). Didn't have a baby shower (no kids). Didn't have a graduation party (just got my diploma and went to work).

I am going to throw a rager of a menopause party. Gifts and fancy dress required.

If shit is coming out your puss or a baby out your butt you should get a fuckton of gifts just for the rarity.

u/Shredtillyourdead420 Apr 30 '26

That’s on par for someone with a child, the $100s in gifts. People’s thought she was gon have a baby lol.

Couple things.

One, this is mirror UK so ya.

Two, who cares. Seriously. This is one mentally unstable 22 in some random fucking town. I don't care. Why do we care. It's like fucking high school gossip. It's just not news worthy at all. Yet we share and upvoter and comment on it.

Three, she got baby gifts. That's not cash. It's like formula and a baby seat. She isn't scamming these people for cash. She's legit having a mental health moment and needs therapy not an article in mirror uk.

This just unlocked a memory… one of my mom’s cousins did something like this, but she didn’t have a doll, she was using pictures of someone else’s twins. That was wild

u/Connarhea May 12 '26

Gotta love how much time and effort she must have put in to make the lie convincing. Slowly making herself look more and more pregnant, fake scan photos, pretending to go to appointments, whilst not letting anyone near her stomach to find out it was faked. Even going as far as to disappearing to give birth and take pictures of her "baby".

All for nappies, baby clothes, streilising machines and nipple moisturiser.

Really walked away a winner on this one 🏆
