Where’s the Facebook Marketplace Christmas Tat thread?!

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!

Maybe to someone these are beautiful - but £20?!?

The foot hamper one surely has to be a homage to the manky foot post of olde.

I have genuinely no idea what it's meant to be!

May I take this moment to remind you of the true meaning of Christmas!

@Gardai the pegs! Hahahahaha hahahahahaha if that person makes a single penny they deserve it for sheer money making ambition 😂😂😂

I must admit the pompom sprouts are quite cute and did amuse me. But I wouldn't pay actual money for them.

@CorBlimeyGovenor that ambiguous 'decoration' is an abomination whatever it's supposed to be. I have to admire the gumption of these people actually asking for money for this shit. Incredible.

Some people have posted screenshots that include real people's names and profile photos Shock

I kind of like the knitted Xmas puds - I made one as a mini hat for the Age UK/Innocent Smoothie bottles! I'm just not sure what you'd do with them after you've eaten the choccy orange!

The other things are mad though! One looks like an elf has been crushed by a Christmas tree and the green pompom looks like it'll fall apart after 5 minutes!

Christmas mug cosies... Didn’t know that was a thing. Hmm

And the advent calendar!!! Here’s 24 presents before a massive pile of presents on the 25th day. Shock

@BeingATwatItsABingThing advent calendars are far more extravagant these days so I don't judge this one for being presents. BUT that is 24 presents worth a total of approx £12 or less, as I reckon once you add in the cost of wrapping paper and hamper they make a profit of around 3 or 4 quid. So basically it's an advent calendar of shit tat.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 24/11/2019 07:52

That is very true soupforbrains

I but my DD a few advent presents but they are usually nice things I’ve found that it would be too late to give her on Christmas Day. Christmas hair accessories for example.

@BeingATwatItsABingThing we don't do massive advent calendars in my house, I don't have one at all as I prefer an advent calendar, don't ask me how but for some reason an advent candle really gets me excited ha. But my sister spends a lot of money on a beauty one for herself and Smiggle ones for my nieces etc. DS has a Lego one this year which isn't quite as extravagant but is a far cry from the traditional picture ones (which he also has one of)!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 24/11/2019 09:26

Christmas gets bigger every year. I absolutely love it but I don’t like change so I do the same thing every year. Grin

Not sure it's for sale but it is truly horrific

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 24/11/2019 19:39

What are they meant to be?!?

MrTumblePulledAKnifeOnMe · 24/11/2019 19:42

I think they are supposed to be gonks. Wasn't my first thought though 😂

WombleishOfTheThighs · 24/11/2019 19:50

They look rather... vulval Shock

OctopusNow · 25/11/2019 00:24

Weird festive scrotums with hats and beards...? 🤔

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 25/11/2019 08:15

Are they trying to be characters from the nativity? That’s the only thing I can think of... Grin

Don't all rush at once, there are plenty to go around. Grin well. There is hopefully only one of that "tree"
