To ask for MNtters' help to find a truly ugly Xmas bauble?

It's for a charity auction at work. Ideally it would be both ugly and funny, so people will bid for it.

Any expert ebayers/googlers on here?

Pretty much anything on offer here: www.paperchase.co.uk/christmas/christmas-decorations/all-christmas-decorations

I typed in 'Christmas bauble handmade' into eBay.

Highlights include: minions in Santa hats, button baubles, some weird handpainted cottages, and emojis!

You can buy stainless steel decorations from Robert Welch.

Paperchase is too easy as there's one next door to my office.

I like the emojis idea.

I'm loving that glass moose! Also like the Asda rainbow (lots of gay colleagues who may bid for it!).

Im not on Facebook so don't have access to the real treasures.

Shock Rainbow. Just what you always wanted, a merkin on your Christmas tree.

Allthatnonsense · 07/11/2015 21:30

Rainbowcake - that bauble is just marvellous! I have no idea why or what, but it makes me laugh and wonder!

Allthatnonsense apparently it is woodland! Woodland what I do not know. Roadkill?

You can just image the creatives sitting around a table, going "Right, in the past few years we have styled Christmas around fairies, snowmen and woodland animals. What's left? I know! MINGES."

raspberry I quite like number 9 on that list, especially the labia, it's quite subtle and takes a few glances before you realise that's what it is!

freshoutofluck · 07/11/2015 21:59

I love that the Amazon "if you liked that, you'll like..." for the microbe baubles is baby wipes Grin
