I’ve noticed we don’t have one yet!

And my Facebook never has anything decidedly dodgy on there other than pairs of £35 Nike Air Max from a knock off factory near Strangeways. So please, share away!

Only in Dublin... personalised dangly bauble thing for 'Wacker'. Bargain at €15. Wacker'll be thrilled, I'm sure.

Also random crap in a glass vase for Mam and Dad - again just €15.

MY GOD, THOSE PERFUMES!!!!! Shock

Jesus Christ, they’ll melt your face off whilst simultaneously making your stink of Vim Scourer and cat glands.

I really wish I had a photo right now, but it has taken me the best part of 5 years to stop my school PTA selling a scourer, rubber gloves, candy cane and tea towel, all bundled up with a ribbon around it on, the 'gifts for mum' table 😳

Personalised cleaning spray. Confused

Someone would die a painful death if that was my gift.

I still wilt with shame thinking about the lovely gift I bought my mother one year when I was, IIRC, 12/13, and our DF took us Christmas shopping. It was an electric tin opener Xmas Blush It did last for many, many years, though.

Amongst other glittered shite (think mini wine bottles and glasses), glittery, personalised ashtrays.

With matching lighters.

A box they sell in Poundland (for a pound) at the bargain price for £5 Grin

MamaWeGotThis · 07/12/2019 15:26

*Of £5

steppemum · 07/12/2019 15:33

the prices of this stuff!

who spends £10-£15 on tacky badly made snowmen??

labazsisgoingmad · 07/12/2019 15:50

would have thought those glittery ashtrays would have been a fire hazard what is the blinkin obsession with glitter bad enough having wine glasses that give you a mouthful of the stuff without turning your house into a blazing inferno

MamaWeGotThis · 07/12/2019 19:56

From £10 Hmm

Where did the whole obsession with covering everything in glitter come from?! It’s horrific.

Type "glitter" into the search bar and prepare to be mesmorised with morbid horror.

MsBananaHammock · 08/12/2019 14:23

WTF...

@MsBananaHammock

I can't unsee that. Did she make Michael Gove too?

huffleclaw · 08/12/2019 19:28

I LOVE this thread and have been watching it for weeks. Very excited to have something to add. Whoever said that people are glittering everything...you've seen nothing yet.

I present to you

A glittery toilet brush holder!!!!!

I rather like the knitted Christmas crackers, very eco. Not sure how you'd pull them though Xmas Grin

steppemum · 09/12/2019 10:10

the turkey teddy bear is a spoof.

It was made as part of an art project about something eco related and the picture posted on the makers blog. The picture was then taken and used by someone to make a fake FB selling page.

It has since been copied hundreds of times and appears every year.
One way you can tell it is a copy of the spoof is that the wording is always exactly the same

I love the idea of christmas crackers, but really, deocrative ones and then a pile of party poppers would have the same effect!
