To wonder what's with all the glittery shite in Facebook selling groups?

Just spotted these beauties today, a fiver each. For that I'd rather buy the bottle of wine, thanks! Do people actually fork out for this crap?

I love the wobbly silver line of glitter on the buckfast one! Presumably glued straight after consuming the bottle?

Around Glasgow it's diamanté false eyelashes, glittery dummy dangling from the buggy, baby's name in glitter pen ( chanel, Paris, Jordin/Jordan all popular just now ) on a nylon cushion and bejewelled baby bootees. Seriously, it's fucking everywhere.

For just £75 each these beauties could take pride of place in your drink cabinet/cupboard/ shelf

Goodness these are so shit. There was a thread recently about naff FB sellers. It was hilarious.

Cerseirys · 30/09/2015 18:28

£75 quid??? At least the ones in the OP are only a fiver!

SilverOldie2 · 30/09/2015 19:15

I have never seen anything so diabolically naff and awful in my life. Please tell me people don't buy this execrable pile of shit?

Wish there was a like button for Tiggy d's post

I know who buys it....MIL. Me and dp are the proud owners of a glittery pint glass with his name on it and I have a glittery wine glass and blinded up mini bottle of echo falls. Never used them as I think the glitter would come off in my mouth...blergh! They are hiddenin our cupboard.

A moment of silence for those who will be gifted these at a certain upcoming event hosted by a fat bearded man

For the wine at Christmas dinner...

To be fair, I don't think these are not as bad as some as the ones I have seen on FB. More skill than some others at least.

But still tacky IMO...

TheCatsMother99 · 30/09/2015 21:10

I've bought some tacky glittery Christmas glasses. They look better than those ones though!

I like them because Christmas is all about the tack in my house

Unfortunately I live in a 'naice' area so my local fb pages are bereft of glittery shit disappointed Daily Mail face

Stellar67 · 03/10/2015 18:06

Ha ha! I have a "friend" who buys this shit and posts those things about people she doesn't like instead of having a conversation.
I have drank out of one of those glitter glasses once.

AgentCandid · 03/10/2015 18:18

DP's sister runs a 'business' selling these things so we got given some last year. Only one glass has survived because I always give them to my clumsiest friends to use. I'm worried that they'll get replaced this Christmas though. I'm not a glittery person.

Cerseirys · 03/10/2015 19:26

I didn't think anyone over the age of 6 was a glittery person!

Cerseirys · 03/10/2015 19:28

That reminds me, my local group features these gems tonight. Customised stripper high heels anyone?
