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

I'm so placemarking to find out the use for your delightful funnel. I didn't buy one this year, not even my usual Yankee candle favourite.

Yeah, but you have saved £200 to put towards something you actually do want and you've got a funnel.

Grin don't worry, you can all borrow my funnel but expect a very long queue!

I believe it was bought for £25. I wasn't expecting to be bowled over for that price but at the very least I'd expect an explanation for the fucking funnel!

Handbag that's an interesting idea. Perhaps I have to wait until the 20th to receive some nail decoration that requires a funnel and all will become clear Grin

I'm currently watching the Liberty advent calendar thread, reading posts about how they're disappointed with the smell of their full size Aveda volumising mist whilst I'm sat here twiddling my funnel Xmas Grin

I agree we need to know how much this little gem was... have you not always wanted a small plastic decidedly pointless funnel??

HandbagFan · 02/12/2017 12:45

I got funnels like that in the Ciate nail polish advent calendar along with beads you push into the wet nail polish. Could it be for that and the nail toppings will come later? Never used it though!

GeekyWombat · 02/12/2017 12:43

If you're doing Elf on the Shelf, surely you can come up with some bizarre use for the mini funnel...

Is it bad I'm actually intrigued to see what you get tomorrow? Does this make me a shit advent groupie?

What on earth is that funnel ???
How much did this cost? Next year go for the M&S one, seems a lot better than what you've got so far.

Grin I think I'm looking forward to opening the doors more because it is so shit!

Gonna buy a chocolate one to have alongside it so I can have a treat to accompany the daily dose of humour.

Day 2: Wow is that some sort of new magical blackhead popping, lip enlarging, space creation?

It's a funnel.

What for? Nobody knows.

Day 1: a mascara I've never heard of before so a little hesitant to swap my Charlotte Tilbury mascara for it but in the spirit of things, I give it a go!

It appears to be made from a unique potion, one that makes your eyes sting, and it bizarrely doesn't stick to the lashes. Just kind of floats there and each time you blink it comes off.

I put it on before making and having breakfast and it was gone by the time I left the house.
