Pointless Christmas themed stuff

Each year, retailers bring out more Christmas themed stuff, mainly everyday stuff. Use this thread to post what is the most pointless thing, in your opinion you have seen with Christmas stuff on it.

I will start - The Range sell a dustpan and brush set with Christmas stuff on. Home Bargains - a ceramic soap dispenser shaped as a bauble with Merry Christmas on it.

Oh dear! John Lewis that's downright greedy!

I might have considered them as a gift for DSIS if they were under a tenner but 12 quid...nope.

don't like my sister and bin bags would have been a perfect gift

They’ve sold out now anyway!

My friend works p/t in Matalan and she says the amount of Halloween and Christmas themed tat they sell is unbelievable.

I think the Halloween stuff is more of a fascinating trend given that’s basically one day. At a push a couple of days before you might see some decorations out.

At least the Christmas ‘period’ lasts for 4-6 weeks.
