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

My local FB marketplace has this:

Extra tat points for ruining the "real wood" eco credentials by using hot glue all over it and adding an undersized reindeer at the bottom.

Christmas frogs! My mum had a friend in the ICA - kind of an Irish version of the WI and in the 70s and 80s those frogs showed up all the time at what was then known as a 'Sale of Work'. Small ones for the tree, bigger ones with rice inside to use a doorstops, and my favourite - the tea cosy version. Not just for Christmas either, there were Valentines and Easter frogs too. I wonder has my mum still got some in the attic, we had squadrons of the things. I seem to remember one in the Dublin GAA colours...

😂 That looks a bit obscene.

I haven't seen it this year, but there is usually a thread on the ebay monstrosity that goes up every year. Iirc it was the 12 days Christmas theme.

porn prawn just made me think of this as it was equally monstrous 😂

My first thought was it some kind of a sex toy. 🙈

I need this in my life, It's in Portsmouth and I'm on the Isle of Wight, It's a sign of goodness knows what - probably that I'm mad.
Showed dh, he's a bit wtf over the price though.😁
What a great item !😍

I had no idea this was from Portsmouth! Like lots of you it makes me laugh each year, but to know it's in someone's house a few miles away!!! Wow!

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 18/12/2023 15:51

OP I bloody you for this thread. I've had a shitty day so far and I think this is going to lift my spirits. Only seem Christmas shrimp so far and pissing myself Grin

Show quote history

Pity that ebay doesn't give actual addresses, at least not until you've paid; you could have nipped round to see what the rest of the place is like!!

Which considering much of what he sells is fantasy role play stuff could have been quite interesting Confused

BruceAndNosh · 18/12/2023 16:44

Is the Christmas Shrimp anything to do with the well known Easter Lobster or Halloween Oyster?

Whiskeypowers · 18/12/2023 16:59

Who fancies some Christmas trees in that well known denim and paisley festive combo.
or a plank style Christmas tree ornament.

perhaps one of these “reindeer”

@Puzzledandpissedoff
I could have updated you all with photos of the outside of the house!! Xmas Grin
Imagine knowing that the 12 days of Christmas was actually inside... where would you store it for the rest of the year when it's unlikely to be sold? (Because it's obviously likely to be sold around now...!).

Kirsty needs to do a one off special episode of her handmade Xmas programme with these sort of things

It would have to be totally deadpan, like she was completely serious about her bits of tat quality crafts.

HarryGrotter · 18/12/2023 18:53

81 watchers now! Ffs who would? And delivery not until 27th December

Someone's going to end up spending Christmas in A&E with an eye injury courtesy of those weird, spiky metal 'reindeer'

The Christmas Shrimp is particularly funny straight after reading the thread from the mumsnetter who was annoyed about her SIL bringing prawns to the party Grin

Bloody loved that thread, i just found the idea of someone turning up at a party with a bag of raw prawns hilarious, op didn't seem to think it was very funny..

PonyPatter44 · 18/12/2023 19:47

Having finally read the full listing, I'm certain that 12 Days Of Christmas thing is some sort of secret code for organised crime gangs, or international espionage.
