Things nobody needs in their life - even if they're on sale

[RayaMumsnet]

I’ve been at Mumsnet for a long time now, over a decade actually, which is slightly terrifying. And I feel like I’ve worked more Black Friday weekend shifts than anyone should ever have to. Every year we wade through endless spreadsheets of deals to find the ones that are genuinely good. But there are always some things that really should stay on the shelf, no matter the discount.

We’ve got a team Slack chat going with some of our most ridiculous finds. Here are my favourites. Enjoy and add your own; you’ve probably seen far worse!

1. The world's furriest slippers
2. A weirdly realistic Tortilla blanket
3. A shrimp plush toy holding a tube of Pringles???

The book Unleashed, by Boris Johnson.
Also the book Spare, by Prince Harry. I've seen videos of somebody "recycling" the book by sawing it up, and making it into a useful object.

I've bought this.

As a present. Thoughts.

Oh I like that one!

Dear God, the Grauniad has included the Wank Egg in this list. There’s a whole MN thread declared to them here:

Or when you hobble into A&E with a broken ankle?

Just bought them for my mum.

DD has the tortilla blanket. Are you saying you don’t want to be a burrito?

Cancelled after looking at the reviews

They're 'wipe clean only'.

I have that Tortilla. My eldest ds bought it for my naps and I have to say that it is so soft and cosy.

@RayaMumsnet Large and ugly cars.

B-segment cars are more than adequate for all able-bodied people.

Oh, but would they be safer?

Exactly.

I’ve bought the crab spoon rest for DSis. Considering getting one for myself, too 😳
