AIBU to be a bit sad about it? BHS usually excel in it, I noticed today Asda had an aisle of it.

It's all so, well, crap. Sad

I wouldn't buy any of it for anyone-it looks like you went down the random Christmas tat aisle and bought the first thing you saw. Who buys it? Confused

Sorry about mentioning the C word-but it's out there. Sad

she kind of descends into Christmas Rage and hits the Wilkinsons soap isle and we all get bath pearls..

made me laugh that is what my mum does she starts of well a nice cardi ( i like a cardi) and maybe some Pjs and then it just goes bonkers and you end up with lavander soap sets she must just panic

come to think of it last year I got a tub of bath things a.bit like bath salts but hard little pebbles in rainbow colours. A bit like grit but pink and blue. They don't dissolve and you end up with an arse that looks like it's been pebbledashed...

WTF Downstairs? Shock

Why, just why? Who in their right mind is going to pay almost £12 for a sack of fake shit? Confused

this thread is hilarious Grin

Loving this thread. I saw this delight in a shop today - but the packaging makes it look like an innocent duck!

Sparklingbrook · 05/11/2013 20:03

What on earth is that meant to be Milli? Just why?

What do you think of this? Confused 'Funny' and 'Gift set' shouldn't be allowed.

oh yuk at that bath duck - that's the kind of gift an elderly nana would buy a toddler thinking it had a nice useful handle, or something!

Matalan today. Actual stiletto-shaped bottle filled with 'preserved chillies in chilli vinegar'. I had to leave, and may never go back... Confused
