These are tremendously popular round my way. AIBU to think they look a bit shit? Your door doesn't look like a wrapped present. It looks like it's got some cheap fabric pulled over it. And lord knows how manky it'll be by Christmas since most of them have been up since mid November. And the ones I've seen selling on Facebook look so overpriced for what they are.

Oooops sorry folks! Grin I am laughing out loud at the threadworms hehe!

(It was off a verrrrrrry tasteful door bow company and jumped out at me!)

I'm feeling really left out. My bit of Essex doesn't have any at all.

Don't like wreaths either, as someone else said they are for funerals.

Lots of tacky twinkly lights in multicolor though. That will do me. Xmas Grin

No objection to wreaths but the big bow things are just a bit crap.

Has anyone seen the ribbon wreaths that are in a similar vein?

There is one on our road that is black and grey with what I can only describe as little silver strings hanging off it. I thought they had a bin bag stuck on their knocker. Not a good look...Xmas Hmm

Wreathes on cars - aren't they... hearses? Confused

Blerg · 07/12/2016 19:48

No Worst just normal cars. I think they looked weird because of the hearse association though. I did a few double takes.

Blerg · 07/12/2016 19:51

Like this but sadder because they were smaller cars and the wreaths did sit happily on the front because of the angles.

Not in Bournemouth yet but fuck my old boots they're awful!

Sleepybeanbump · 07/12/2016 19:57

I thought it was clever when I saw one (last year, just one, thankfully).

But that's it. It's clever and gimmicky and not right

What's wrong with a nice wreath?

Harrumph.
