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

I love Ken's world domination tactics Xmas Grin I've nominated this thread for Classics.

ColourCature I don't think any of us can unsee your description of the mucousy bloody show now. Shock
I wonder if that's the description on the packaging? "A bold mucousy blood colour, perfect for a night out with the one you love" Grin

You're hilarious OP, I'm loving this thread! It's a daily delight to check in and see what you have been gifted with as I smugly open my beautiful NYX calendar and get loads of usage out of each item 😂😂😂

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 20/12/2017 12:53

Or maybe that's why the spider is dessicated, as the lip gloss is spider blood.
Omg there could be a warehouse full of desiccated dead spiders Xmas Shock

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 20/12/2017 12:52

Yuk yuk yuk looks like something's been murdered.............a mouse perhaps?
Eyes the Tabbies suspiciously Xmas Shock

ColourCature · 20/12/2017 12:44

Eew. It’s mucousy red coloured like a bloody show. 🤢

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 20/12/2017 11:27

Oh that would double-up very nicely as theatrical blood... Cheese, you'd have HOURS of fun sploding it here and there with one giant 'Splat' as a finale. Grin

Xmas GrinXmas Grin We have a House of Funnel club with our very own theme tune.

Flash two funnels is outrageous. I bet even the Queen doesn't have TWO funnels.

Day 20 (can't believe we're on day 20!) brings us some more coloured glue. I swatched it on the door and within seconds it had gathered lots of dust so I may leave splodges of it around to aid with house cleaning. HOF are always thinking outside of the box with their gifts [santa]

Everytime I'm seeing the word 'funnel' now I have that song, Funboy Three's "Tunnel of Love" in my head and I'm replacing 'Tunnel' with 'Funnel, of course...

neveradullmoment99 · 19/12/2017 22:59

None of the contents can be used with the funnel?
If you use the funnel for the glitter, where are you funnelling it too? Into the varnish? Am i missing something????

LizzieSiddal · 19/12/2017 22:19

This thread is bloody brilliant Xmas Grin

Mind you, that's the exact opposite of the contents of that calendar.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 19/12/2017 22:00

The House of Funnel Club sounds like a cool trendy nightclub in central London. So far removed from the HOF shitmas sadvent calendar. Grin

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 19/12/2017 21:41

We're all members of The House of Funnel Club Xmas Grin

FlashTheSloth · 19/12/2017 21:38

I got very excited on Sunday. I was having a tidy up of my bathroom cupboards, AND I CAME ACROSS A SMALL FUNNEL! Then DD was doing some sand art that she got from Father Christmas, it came with a tiny funnel. I now have 2! Neither are make up related though. The one in the bathroom came with a small, empty bottle set, where you decant from larger bottles.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 19/12/2017 21:35

He's good at this modelling lark is Ken. He's certainly got a look of lion about him.
Misty says she thought we cats had taken over the world (but she likes the bit about the dead spider.......perhaps with a few crunched up mouse bones as final embellishment?) Xmas Grin

neveradullmoment99 · 19/12/2017 20:42

I don't get what the funnel is used for Confused
Enjoyed the video. I agree. Tacky junk!

LaughingLlama · 19/12/2017 20:00

I just cannot believe this is House of Fraser! What a load of tacky shite. Are you sure this is aimed at adults and not 7yo girls ? (although the funnel would still be a mystery!)

Did the HOF batch of advent calendars get mixed up with a batch meant for Poundland?Confused

Alicecooperslovechild · 19/12/2017 19:50

God my No7 Calendar seems even more dull now.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 19/12/2017 18:21

Oh. And a funnel. Just one. :)

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 19/12/2017 18:20

I would like a cat. That is all. :)

MrsPringles · 19/12/2017 14:55

That was amazing and now I know what delights the OP will be getting over the next few days

YOU’RE IN FOR A TREAT!

Xmas Shock Misty is beautiful!

Ken has a message for her:

  1. Make human buy HOF calendar.
  2. Use funnel to pour glitter down human's throat.
  3. Seal human's mouth shut with glitter glue.
  4. Place dead spider on dead human - just cos I likes it, it's two of my favourite things.
  5. Use brush to dust away paw prints.
  6. Repeat to other humans until we have taken over the world.
