There was one in Costco on Friday that had mini jams in it Hmm

ProfessorMoody · 30/09/2018 16:13

I may or may not have purchased a hand dyed yarn with a different pattern for every day advent calendar...

tigercub50 · 30/09/2018 16:14

The mini jams one would be nice

PollyannaWhittier · 30/09/2018 16:16

I'm going one better than that this year @PutItAwayDear - I've ordered one with hand dyed fibre to spin into yarn Grin pretentious and proud !

ChaosTrulyReigns · 30/09/2018 16:17

If I used those love honey stuff over advent I'd be too snagged to cook my stuffing balls Shock

over packaged, over priced and three months thick in dust. The definition of tatmas.

I bought a ceramic chicken with posh jams in Costco last week. Here's dd showing them off and pointing at the one we bought. Was only £11.

MakeYourOwnFuckingTea · 30/09/2018 16:24

Will they still have those in Best? I know of 3 people who would love a ceramic egg keeper in the shape of a chicken. All Bread fans by the way. Grin

IamChipmunk · 30/09/2018 16:27

My dh had the pork scratchings one last yr! He loved it!

FrenchFancie · 30/09/2018 16:27

I really want a wanky advent calendar. The Christmas season is usually so flippin stressful I could do with something nice for me every day.
Would happily have hand dyed yarn, gin or sexy toys, it doesn’t take much to make me happy....

BlancheM · 30/09/2018 17:18

That HOF one on style and beauty last year would take some beating! It was epic in its itty bitty shittiness

DorothyBastard · 30/09/2018 17:23

I got my BIL the pork scratching one last year instead of a Christmas present. He was over the moon with it and said I was a ‘legend’ Grin

Bezalelle · 30/09/2018 17:23

That LoveHoney one - OMG.

Because nothing quite sums up the spirit of Christ's birth like a set of dildos.

Gileswithachainsaw · 30/09/2018 17:24

The zoeella one got ripped to shreds last it...

Gileswithachainsaw · 30/09/2018 17:25

Last yr

Orangecake123 · 30/09/2018 17:27

I think i'd like the mini jam one!

WTFIsAGleepglorp · 30/09/2018 17:30

There are Zoella goods sale in Superdrug and Boots, but I haven't seen an Advent calendar.

Cath Kidston was the daftest at £40

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 30/09/2018 17:35

The pork scratching one was amazing, I will definitely buy that again.

It’s the vastly priced beauty and perfume ones that amaze me.

BexleyRae · 30/09/2018 17:36

Definitely gonna buy my brother the pork scratching advent calendar.

Blanche my sister's housemate got into trouble for ripping people off last year. She handmade a fabric lipstick or pouting lips that had pockets for each day. It looked really nice and would appeal to a beauty addict who would use it to store items afterwards (not my taste but certainly not worthy of the crappy fb sales that crop up on here)
Anyway she decided that rather than sell it empty she would put a little something in for each day. Now in my opinion you either track down some high end samples buy some drugstore brands (Yes I know but that's the term now) and mix and match. Then price accordingly. Instead she put cheap and random shite wrapped in tissue (made some buyers suspicious no idea why). Things like two cotton buds (serious like), poundland shite like no name make up, packs of tissues, safety pins, sponges, flossing picks and a sewing kit. I think in her mind She thought it might be nice for people to have stuff they might not have but need in an emergency. Where as a customer who though loved the calendar posted a photo of her pulling the ubiquitous compo face while holding up two ear buds. GrinShe had written on the picture "Wha da fuqqqqq????!!!! Srsly???!!!!" She refunded the girl. I felt a bit sorry for her but shes making my sister's life hell when her boyfriend stays over by shagging so loudly that the neighbours take it out on my sister. Honestly though you would be gutted with two ear diggers.
