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

I have the M&S and Liberty calendars (overboard indeed) yet neither has brought me as much delight as this thread! Bring on day 3...

Lucked · 02/12/2017 18:03

Just seen it is reduced to £12.50. Still not tempted😀

Lucked · 02/12/2017 17:57

Hands down best Christmas thread.

That mascara looks so cheap and shit you are braver than me to put it near your eyes. And agree the funnel looks like it’s for pouring nail micro beads back into the bottle. Very strange without an explanation.

Roll on day 3

I thought I had no interest at all in advent calendars until I idly opened this thread. Now I'm gripped to see what's in day 3. I'm thinking mini golf club to go with the mini golf tee funnel Xmas Grin

I'm aware it had supposed to be beauty products but I think they're supplementing with last year's cracker toys.

JuneFromBethesda · 02/12/2017 17:38

DH thought it was a hat for the mascara Grin

BringMeTea · 02/12/2017 17:23

This is all marvellous! More excited about this than my LF calendar now.

reallyorange · 02/12/2017 17:19

Oh, i just read the description of what the calendar contains. The funnel thing is described as:

"funnel"

So that clears that up.

reallyorange · 02/12/2017 17:18

I just looked up the HOF calendar to spoiler myself and they haven't even got the funnel in the picture of all the goodies!

No spoilers but if you are hoping for the shitness to be continued then you are unlikely to be disappointed...

missfliss · 02/12/2017 15:12

I started the Look Fantastic advent calendar thread and we WISH we had a funnel...

I feel somehow lesser now

Ollivander84 · 02/12/2017 15:11

Second that the funnel looks like one I got for ciate nail beads

CiderwithBuda · 02/12/2017 15:07

Oh dear. But at least you haven't lost your sense of humour! And you'll find a use for your funnel. Grin

Guiltypleasures001 · 02/12/2017 14:59

I think it's the top for a hair dye bottle and the next gift is a bottle of red henna dye circa 1963 😁

flimp · 02/12/2017 14:14

omg that's SHIT!

Rachie1986 · 02/12/2017 14:09

Ok I don't have one of these but I'm placemarking to see if the use for the funnel ever becomes clear!

SandyDays · 02/12/2017 14:06

I'm secretly hoping you channel your inner child and open a weeks worth in one day!
Looking forward to the next instalment of your shitty calendar

buttwingsham · 02/12/2017 14:06

Sweet Jesus I laughed out load at the mascara jacket!
Shamelessly place marking for tomorrow's piece of Christmas joy.

Grin I feared the thread would go this way, jealousy over my stealth boasts about the funnel.

Well I'm sorry but some of us are just luckier than others, some get funnels and others have to make do with their designer hair/skincare and makeup. Poor things.

DH thought it was a hat for the mascara Xmas Hmm maybe I'll open up a tiny jacket tomorrow.

I was thinking the funnel had something to do with ear syringing. Sporn addict

SukiTheDog · 02/12/2017 13:52

I want that funnel...

makemineatriple · 02/12/2017 13:47

This one sounds way better than the Liberty one. They WISH they had a funnel to twiddle.

ScarlettOH · 02/12/2017 13:40

I think this is going to be my favourite advent calendar thread Grin

sentenceinterrupted · 02/12/2017 13:39

Usually funnels like that are for decanting perfume into atomiser bottles... perhaps a clue to a future day?

My son would probably try and wee through it.

sake · 02/12/2017 13:29

Also placemarking for funnel use explanation and further advent shitness Grin

YouWereRight · 02/12/2017 13:23

Yikes! Perhaps Zoella was carefully curating for HOF too Grin
