Celebrity publicist Roxy Jacenko faces criticism for her 11-year-old daughter Pixie’s extravagant Christmas wish list.
Roxy made headlines Tuesday after she uploaded a photo of Pixie’s handwritten listing, which featured a $9,000 handbag and several designer fashion pieces.
While some followers found the post amusing, others accused Roxy of “pampering” her daughter with materialistic goods instead of teaching her to be humble and charitable.

“You might want to take her and yourself to a homeless shelter and show her what’s humble instead of a spoiled child!” a user responded.
How to raise a materialistic child – just follow Roxy for tips. Amazing that this kid knows all these brands but still can’t spell CHRISTMAS,” another critic wrote.

“Maybe your kid should focus on education and not just being the cool kid — say,” they added.
Another simply commented, “This is so sad.”
Responding to the backlash, Roxy told Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday: ‘There will always be someone with an opinion who has no knowledge of what we donate and contribute financially to different communities and charities.’

“I choose to ignore it and not let the ‘noise’ consume me. Instead of judging, they should step out and see what they can do with the energy for the less fortunate!’ she added.
In her original post, Roxy poked fun at Pixie’s extensive wish list by praising the youngster for dividing the items into “expensive” and “mid/cheap gifts.”
“I’m so glad Pixie gave Curtis options for different budgets. Goyard Bag also known as Goyer,” Roxy continued Instagram in a nod to Pixie’s misspellings.
Included in the ‘expensive’ section was a Goyard carrying case in blue, which retails for $9,935 second-hand.

Pixie is also shopping for lots of swimwear this year, including a red Sommer Swim bikini (about $180) and Triangl’s Savoca Set ($135).
Pixie mentioned Bamba Swim’s Bounty dress in both Sunset color and Aqua ($118), “any” Yeezy trainers, and With Harper Lu’s Lily Floral Tee ($160).
She rounded out the expensive part with Kim Kardashian’s Skims Cotton rib briefs ($54).

But the 11-year-old wasn’t just looking for expensive items, she also detailed numerous Sommer and Skims items in her “mid/low cost” section under $100.
These items include the Bamba Swim Hibiscus Top and Bottoms, several Skims Tank Tops in Gray and Hot Pink ($48), the Tori Dress by Tiga Mist ($40) and the Laction Jumper by Tiga Mist ($63).
The list was completed by a few Sommer Swim bikini tops.
