Homemade Christmas tat for sale....

[Beetie1]

Couldn't see a recent thread showcasing Christmas tat for sale and I just had to share this - described as a Christmas Shrimp.

These on my local Facebook.

Placemarking as I was just thinking the other day I miss the Facebook tat threads!

Although I do quite like that shrimp

Found these beauties on Marketplace

I mean it would be shellfish to have the prawns and scallop shells without completing the set with "handmade resin" oyster shell Christmas baubles... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394936220361

I'd say that's more a Christmas mosquito on a festive vagina than a Christmas shrimp 😂

Just looked and the centrepiece is £699.99! Someone is having a laugh!

£750 for this, anyone?

Thank you for the Christmas shrimp. Love it 🤣

I’m a shopaholic with hoarding tendencies and yet my heart fills with gratitude knowing I will never buy any of this junk.

I think that item probably has 300 watchers, all from Mumsnet.

I actually love that it looks krilliant......and I genuinely knew a work colleague last year whose kid asked for a "shrimp" toy......ok not a toy but still.....😂 🤫

Not sure why anyone would want a wreath of muscle shells 😬

Has the 12 days of Christmas seller always shouted?

Do you think he/she dusts it during the year?

Also it has to be priced not to sell.. maybe its creator doesn't want to sell it but they are being forced to go through this annual charade by their domineering partner. Could it be a cry for help (..and hence the shouting?)

I've got the snacks sorted.

@MrsMoastyToasty Is that dog treats under the cigarette lighter?!

This was on a sales page near me

The other day lady came in my shop and bought some green yarn. made some comment to her about nice festive colour and she proceeded to explain what she does with it; you cut a loo roll centre into three rings wind green yarn round the green and then stick a pompom on top hence a elf hat and stick a sweet underneath. she made them for a Conservatives festive dinner wish I had a photo they sound umm unique. perhaps I should do some next year for my shop!

I love the shrimp!.

Hahaha that's brilliant! The ketchup!

btw why is there such a fishy theme going on

I absolutely love the shrimp, decorated shells and muscle garland - nothing says Christmas like ocean molluscs

There I was thinking 'that's not so bad, not my taste but still', then I clicked on the link and saw the price.

😆

OK I kind of love this christmas shrimp! 🙈

I have a friend that's just bought a laser engraver and is trying to sell their stuff. To be fair some of the stuff is nice, I just have no use or space for it.. they keep suggesting lovely personalised photo frames/coasters with football stadiums etc as gifts for my family members.. everyone in my family really dislikes personalised stuff like that 😬

It's paper napkins glued to the shell....I think it's called decoupage?

I went to a local craft fair where one seller had baskets of these for sale at a tenner each. She made about £600.

A tenner for an old scallop shell, a bit of paper serviette, some glue and a dash of gold paint.

Fuck me.

So many questions about the Xmas snack box. Why the lighter? Why is there a peg in it? A previous PP quite rightly asked about the dog treats. Is the egg cooked? what is the small silver ball about?

Just noticed the cigarette! Really it needs to be marketed to peckish smokers who have a dog.
