Similar scenario that me and my family had with some of our friends and their children. The parents of my friends had bought an annoying toy for the children of my friends - a duck that sang an annoying tune. At a New Year’s Eve party at their house our friend gave the duck to one of our children. I promptly hid it behind the TV. A few months later they found it. As they are friends we only see once or twice a year, there followed a few years of hiding it with each other when we got together for holidays etc. For example I hid it in their car one camping trip, they left it on our doorstep after they had visited one time.
