Why on earth would anyone spend money on this stuff? And AIBU to think those who do are incredibly strange people?

Or am I just a snob?

You've gotten me started on one of my favourite subjects, The Bradford Exchange.

I take great pleasure in finding the most hideous items that are available on it's website.

Off to have a look now.

From the baby monkey, I made the mistake of following the link to Blessings Times Three, under the heading "Customers who bought...also bought..."

hysterical ! Do you think any of these things are "designed" with a sense of irony, knowing there's a rather, well, special sort of person out there waiting to buy them ?
