Who buys this shit?

Seriously it couldn't be more awful if it tried....

Who needs an ornamental wishing well with working winch? Or a hands free clip to hold your towel up after a shower?

AIBU to think this is hideous?

I've no clue why it's for travel. Would you piss yourself out and about and decide to clean it with this handy urine off before anyone notices?

I love these wee magazines, some of the items in this thread are hilarious.
Cheered me right up, even though I should be asleep

I can imagine the House of Bath people getting very excited at the amount of hits their website has generated since OP started this thread. Then their confusion when none of us buy anything. -except the uroclub which I just had to get for BIL-

The portable toilet is aimed at the disabled market, I see them on disability aid sales sites a lot. I'd guess if you have both mobility and continence issues it would be useful.

I'm actually a bit tempted by the fairy door and windows. We have a big oak tree and a 2 year old who I think might enjoy that. Not convinced they attach well enough without damaging the tree though, it looks like they just hang which is no use as she'd just pull them off.

That urine off spray is just Fabreze in a different bottle.

My mum has a Santa loo seat for Christmas.

I'll get me coat.

It's not HoB though I don't think as she can actually wash hers I hope. Why is all their stuff such shit quality?

Pseudo fair enough if it's for the disabled market. I think a lot of their stuff is but to be fair we haven't been laughing at that....

Anyone remember Brentford Nylons or am I showing my age ?
You had to be careful not to stand too close to the electric bar heater if you were wearing one of their dressing gowns or nighties ... oh and static was a problem. I remember getting an electric shock every time my Mum kissed me night night !

Lockheart · 04/04/2016 11:08

I love getting these magazines in Saturday's Telegraph. It always reminds me of my grandad, who was forever buying gutter cleaning gadgets and automatic toast buttering knives and other such shit for the elderly out of them. It's what I imagine being retired will be like Grin

chocolateee · 04/04/2016 11:13

Oh My ... it's even funnier if you check out the 'people who bought this also bought this' photos below. You can then visualise the whole ensemble !

MartinaJ · 04/04/2016 11:25

WTF is this? Does anyone use it?

Reminds me of Betterware. There's a lady distributing those magazines in our estate and then collecting them. As we have "No Junk Mail" on our post box, I dutifully bin them. They avoid our house now which is a pity because I will probably never get to order those chaffinch clocks and beautiful lavender tea towels.

I am literally wetting myself here (whilst sporting a pair of HofB incontinence pants, natch.)

We subscribe to Radio Times, so these flimsy catalogues of chuckles slip out all of the time. I used to buy my DMIL some 'lovely' gifts in the past, such as a 'Dolphin Indoor Birdsong Waterfall' which began to chirp every time the phone rang.

Shock I'd totally buy that bedding! Only because it would annoy dh who has decorated the bedroom black and red and gothic........

RaspberryOverload · 04/04/2016 13:39

I'm having to placemark as I started to read and realised I wouldn't be able to stop myself laughing out loud in the middle of a quiet office..... Grin

Ifailed · 04/04/2016 13:56

Hmm, I can see where all those editors of interesting reviews on Amazon will be heading next.

Anyone remember the big slipper?
One big tartan slipper you put both your feet in
Billy Connolly said you should buy two and and put them at your front door to deter burglars!

JaneJeffer · 04/04/2016 14:20

I'm getting these and putting them in the garden to freak everyone out. Love this thread.

Neenypoo22 · 04/04/2016 14:24

Those big slippers worry me.

If the doorbell rang I'd forget I was wearing it, go to jump up to answer it and do myself an injury...
