Facebook Christmas handmade tat

[rainbowunicorn22]

does not look like anyone has started this yet this year. Yes its the thread for FB tat those awful things people are selling for a fortune that are handmade. anyone seen anything yet, previous years people have put on some great buys!

It’s this one I believe?

Oh how I love this thread.

I think the bracelets are quite a good idea, bit of thought, going off the back of the Taylor Swift concerts.
Hope I don’t see my Nutcracker posted on here!

Resin Christmas gnomes anyone?

My SIL makes these. They are shite. My mother has one on her shelf. My SIL doesn't speak to the rest of the family and we only do presents for grandchildren so thankfully I am spared this horror.

Tis the season of 2 quids worth of haribos and swizzlers in a cardboard box for 15 quid 😆
I do like the reindeer made out of logs and twigs though 🥰

I actually like these

Mostly the listings are pretty good, decent looking homemade things.
This, however, is in a league of its own.

Truly a thing of beauty /s. I mean who is the target market for most of this tat?

Every year I worry that someone like Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg will buy the 12 days of Christmas monstrosity for laughs and then we will no longer know when it's Christmas. If I ever win the lottery I am buying it just for laughs and will make sure to post it to MN every year so people know it's Christmas.

The best one round me is this Christmas eve box for £20. Choice of book (all books in the 10 for £10 deal the works have on). All in a ratty cardboard box for extra festivities.

The rest are not too bad ATM or are a bit shite (lots of those baubles with feathers in and cricut name on them) but advertising for £1 or £2. I suppose the best part of living in a notoriously blunt "call a spade a spade" area. People will tell you your stuff is shite.

I mean come on...

‘Santa, I know him’!

*taps nose.

Not her most realistic work.

Shameless place marking.

I fo think the 12 days of Christmas centre piece could be improved with the Christmas Knitted Star.

Not sure if this would look lovely as a tree topper or should go straight in the bin?

This would co-ordinate beautifully with the bicycle wheel. Complete with fake grass.

Someobes been practising their finger knitting on the other one. Subtle use of colour.

Honestly I feel like I’d be getting way more for my money with this duck than that £20 Christmas Eve box

The stripes on that door are coloured in felt pen😂

Definitely worth scrolling down and reading the (lengthy) seller description justifying the deluded pricing! It includes this -

ITS A HUGE TALKING POINT AND WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR MANY XMASES TO COME

which you can’t really argue with, I suppose, going by the number of mentions on this thread!

I mean.... 0 effort!

Genuinely one of the most horrific objects I’ve ever seen.

We have some delightful crochet Christmas trees which the seller notes are 'Amazing for couples, kids, nice stocking filler!'

Couples? Really?

And they're to suit every decorative choice! Although the pink, cream and salmon one feels... wrong.

They look like something a very small child had made at a craft event and of which as a parent you would lie and praise their efforts whilst making sure to display it in their bedroom and not anywhere else in your home.

You know how ambassadors flock overseas like moths to lightbulbs to official state soirees where they know Ferrero Rocher are being served? Well, you know when JD Vance came to the UK with all of his cavalcade, you didn't really think that he'd waste his precious vacation time coming just to take in the twee British villages or talk to stuffy politicians, did you?

What do you think all of the OTT security detail was really protecting? Obviously not Vance himself, whom none of us would even recognise if we bumped into him in the queue at the Co-op.

I've said too much already...

How about some sweet cones that seem to have acquired confectionery related CPTSD.
or a light up giraffe bottle: clearly I missed the bit at school where a fucking giraffe formed a part of the nativity or indeed Santa’s sleigh.
there are always some remarkably phallic knitted toadstools to help convey the sheer magic that is fungi at Yuletide
final offering for now is more completely useless tat serving no purpose fashioned from a cut of Christmas tree and a cheap bauble to festoon your house.

I think, in an ironic and meta kind of way, they're designed to replicate what your ears will look like once they react to the materials that they're made of.
