Is this level of detail in a Christmas bauble really necessary...?

I mean, really John Lewis? What were your designers thinking?!

It's a dinosaur who's had too much fun at centre parcs.

What do you do at centre parcs? 😂

@FingersofFish

Well now I've seen the butt hole I want one

The butt hole or the dinosaur?

That's amazing, am now trying to see what else I can buy. DP lives presents like that.

Any suggestions welcome!

How is a dinosaur a Christmas ornament?

Hehehe I thought this was a frog design at first before I opened the photo

MN hasn’t made me laugh out loud for a while…

I blame you OP, I didn't buy a festive Dinosaur but couldn't resist the Beaver Christmas Tree decoration for DH....🤣

@SoupDragon

If you have to have a hole where it was "blown" from, it goes at the top where the ribbon is. Like every other bauble.

Anyway, this was a lighthearted thread. I know it's not actually a dinosaur anus.

I've got to send him back anyway as he has a crack in his front leg. 🙁

You’ll return him because of the crack but not the butthole?

The butthole makes even less sense because of how bloated he looks op.

In any case I think £12 is a steal for what appears to be an anatomically correct T-Rex, hyperrealistic merely scaled down of course.

I’d keep it and have him grace the top of the tree.

I've emailed them with a photo in the hope they'll send me a replacement and not to bother sending back the broken one.

Quite right, it would be irresponsible of them to insist you send broken glass through the post.

In an amazing show of superb customer service, they have already replied and said they will send me a replacement with no mention of returning the disabled dinosaur. Hurrah!

Maybe it needs such a large bottom hole to keep all it’s rights safely hoarded?

You’ll return him because of the crack but not the butthole?

Would you want a dinosaur with 2 holes and only one crack?

Surprised no paleontologists have already commented tbh

They have all passed out at the lack of any resemblance to a TRex.

I sent a screenshot of that beaver to a friend 😂

How is a dinosaur a Christmas ornament?

Don't recall them being around for the nativity??

You don't recall? Were you there?

You'd be horrified by our tree. We have a sloth, a narwhal, a pig, Father Christmas on a rocket, a penguin, a moose. The list, happily, goes on...

What unfortunate placement😂

It's hard to tell from the side view but I think the brachiosaurus is similarly adorned

Having just had a partial scroll through the JL glass baubles, I'm currently bemused by this 'festive' item. I mean, as heads of broccoli go it's very nice, and the vegetable may well figure on the Xmas lunch plate - but 'festive'?

I'd say that's a "Doyouthinktheysaurus-coming Rex" type of dinosaur (for the price if nothing else.
There are nicer ones on Etsy OP:

Not going to lie, I was tempted by the broccoli as it was just so bizarre 😂

My boys would bloody love this. Dinosaurs and bumholes. What else could you need?!

The really odd thing is that as far as I can see (filtering to see just green baubles) , they don't have a sprout. Though I suppose you could pretend this 'field cabbage' is a rather sickly one.

They have a "make your own felt sprout bauble" kit but that's it. Apart from sprout fairy lights (which are just green circles in Santa hats rather than actual sprouts)

I need to go to John Lewis now - I have to see these things in person.

I'm surprised no one has raved about the wonderful selection of Christmas baubles that Paperchase do... Sushi anyone? Or some dairylea dunkers? definitely worth a look if you don't go for a traditional theme...
