Does anyone have the Paperchase hermit crab Christmas tree decoration they’d like to sell me??

I mean, it’s an unlikely shout, because if you bought it, you probably did so because you like it, and want to keep it. But just in case you bought two or have since gone off hermit crabs; woe is me, I meant to buy one and then I procrastinated, and it is sold out online and in the three stores I’ve visited, and now I am without a hermit crab this Christmas.

Alternatively, if you’re a Paperchase-visiting Londoner and have seen some in stock somewhere, please let me know!

Aww I want someone to give me crabs for Xmas 😜

I want an oyster for my tree, similar to your crab. I want one because my brother in law is an oyster farmer. Never found one though.

Interested in this thread?

Glad you got one OP, but can someone please explain to me what a hermit crab has to do with Christmas and why anyone would even dream up the idea of such an ornament?

I’m intrigued too. How is even a thing?

Love it. ❤️

What a great update, Have a wonderful Christmas when it comes OP!

The poster who wanted to decorate mushrooms for christmas and stick them on a tree may have been on to something. My teen insisted we buy a set of 3 Christmas ornament toadstools from TKMaxx...

This is the good news update I'm here for! I'm going to look in Paperchase tomorrow!

@Crucible check out this Gisela Graham oyster ornament on eBay.

Thanks. Why do people do this? Stop dredging up old threads! Pointless waste of time 😡

@Crankley stop being so crabby Smile

Saisong · 13/10/2022 21:24

Umm @Crankley The OP bumped their own thread from last year with a lovely update. This exactly good forum etiquette. What isn't good manners is not making any attempt to read the full thread.

I wouldn't class the op coming back to give an update on their own thread as 'dredging up old threads' or 'pointless'.

I think it's lovely that they have managed to get their Christmas ornament, even if it's a nearly a year later than they originally hoped.

AlwaysLatte · 13/10/2022 21:25

Damn, now I need one too.

No it isn't! I loved the update!

Time to get into the Christmas spirit.

Agreed! Wins the Internet today 👏

@ComtesseDeSpair

Is that the only one you bought? The decorations are 3 for 2?

RiftGibbon · 13/10/2022 21:30

Oh that's so lovely! I may have to buy one for my 2024 tree (I already have this years' and next years' tree schemes planned).

Bigboysmademedoit · 13/10/2022 21:33

Damn it - shouldn’t have looked! Now I’ve ordered the Babycham deers 😂I’m so weak!
