So it arrived damaged. Never mind, I thought, it's what's inside that counts...

Is it still not morning? I feel like a child on Xmas Eve willing the time to pass!

Aridane · 03/12/2017 21:19

I’ve looked online too - contents listed but not the order. And, yes, just baldly described as ‘funnel’ Grin,

Am curious as to what the three ‘N/A’ are in the calendar? Maybe they are blind doors with no contents?

Nottheduchessofcambridge · 03/12/2017 21:15

Place marking, I’m in for the long haul! I’m feeling smug with my carburys hero’s calendar, so far I have had a fudge, a caramel and a Cadbury Dairy milk. So far it’s still better than yours!

Shamelessly placemarking Smile

I couldn't wait, I had a look online to see what delights you have to look forward to. Someone has actually given this 5 stars Grin

Aridane · 03/12/2017 20:35

Pretty please

Aridane · 03/12/2017 20:35

GrinGrin I'm so glad I started this thread! You're all so imaginative I now have so many uses for my funnel - playing Christmas tunes, puffing glitter bombs in the MIL's face, decanting all sorts and a tiny she-wee.

Xmas Grin at Moogle's purchase! There'll definitely be a nationwide shortage of funnels now. Here we are all mocking HOF but little did we know they were providing the next big beauty must have!

badbad perhaps you need a funnel for the highlighter?

I predict day 4 will bring a brush+ lid. Day 5 will provide an empty bottle and finally on day 6 I'll receive the varnish to pour through the funnel into the empty bottle which is then topped off with the brush + lid. The glitter was a red herring. Ok I've thought too much about this.

Go to bed, Namethecat - more tiny pressies after you’ve had your sleep. Wink

Namethecat · 03/12/2017 20:08

Is it Day 4 yet ?

KitNCaboodle · 03/12/2017 20:00

I’ve got it, I’ve got it. It’s a she-wee for a lady elf.
Why didn’t we think of that before? Hmm

@Cheeseandcucumber you have no idea how jealous I am of your funnel Envy

@BlueEyedWonder 😂😂😂

Ohb0llocks · 03/12/2017 17:50

I want a funnel

MissBax · 03/12/2017 16:39

I was going to get an adventure calendar but have now decided this thread will act as mine. Each day a new surprise. I can't wait for tomorrow's treat Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/12/2017 16:35

I like the idea of putting glitter in the funnel and blowing*.

Christmas is the perfect time to shower that person at work you don't really like with sparkly stuff. Xmas Smile

*do not inhale, may cause major glittery coughing fit.

Deathraystare · 03/12/2017 16:30

I can see this will lead to a serious mini funnel shortage in the UK!

Not got one so feeling a little bit of envy right now. Have no advent calendar either so not likely to get one. Boo hoo!

TSSDNCOP · 03/12/2017 16:07

I’ve added small funnel to my Christmas list.

iwouldgoouttonight · 03/12/2017 15:52

Just asked DD what she would use glitter and a funnel for and she said fill the funnel with glitter, blow in one end and 'kapow!' (her word) a glitter explosion! I'm sure they do similar at the start of Strictly.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/12/2017 15:47

I've shared my limited knowledge on your other thread Bad Smile

badbadhusky · 03/12/2017 15:41

Have you tried blowing down the funnel? It may emit a Christmassy tune.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/12/2017 15:39

I wonder if the last door will be a small instruction manual for all the crap useful items?

This confirms my cynical view that beauty advent calendars are a waste of money and you might like 2 products out of the 24. [grinch]

I started my own thread in S&B for the beauty bewildered as it was bad manners to crash this one.

Apileofballyhoo · 03/12/2017 15:25
