To think this is a bloody rip off and be annoyed at my stupidity?!

[Booksandwine80]

Have just purchased a handmade Christmas gift from a local Facebook seller. Lovely item, ideal gift for a friend and was glad to be “buying local”.

Have received the item, realised a little while later that the label from a well known bargain Swedish shop was left on (by accident I assume!).

AIBU to message the seller? I’m annoyed that I’ve paid almost £10 for something which she bought for less than £1

I really want to know which well known Swedish shop item it is

Cheeky. Was it advertised as Home made? Did she add some sparkle to it?

Is it as bought from Ikea or upcycled? Lots of cheap frames/tealights/other Ikea crap can be upcycled into nice awful Facebook tat homemade things?

I’m guessing Tiger...

That's all almighty blunder from the seller!! I would definitely complain and review on Facebook with photos!!

Advertised as “handmade and personalised”. Am I awful to think she’s actually a cheeky fucker but in the other hand think she’s a bloody genius

But has she personalised it and if so it is kind of handmade?

Definitely review and post pictures to shame the seller. Ask for a refund.

Can you show us?

Most of these type of items are from Ikea but then personalised and jazzed up. That's what you're paying for the extra bits plus the time to add them. So actually not cheeky of them.

Has she enhanced/personalised said gift? Otherwise I'd be inclined to point out you know and ask for money back. (Or maybe post link to shop next time you see her fb advert?)

Was it a meatball carved into the initial of your name?

Is it one of those things where they buy a basic cheapo frame for example, then chuck some glittery shite in there and on it to 'upscale' original cheapo frame?

We need to see a picture. It’s something from IKEA isn’t it, with a bit of sparkly shit glued on.

Entirely depends on whether she’s bought the whole thing straight from IKEA, or just bought a basic frame or vase (or whatevs) and decorated it herself.

Picture before we judge please 

Pictures or it didn't happen 😂

I REALLY want to see what it is !!

Could you have done it yourself? Sometimes these kinds of things require real skill.

Don’t want to put a picture in as it has the intended recipients surname on it which if the seller happens to see will out me!

It’s basically an Ikea item with some lettering added on (which is basically a label, unsure if she’s printed this herself of if she orders them from elsewhere)

Think I will have to put this one down to experience, the actual item is lovely but I do feel it’s a total rip off

@Booksandwine80 I had exactly the same from Etsy , described as handmade near enough same price. And when it came has the well known Swedish store sticky label on (which I can't get off) only thing added was some writing and a stick on heart !

The additional £9 is to pay for her idea, her time, her resources and her skills.
£10 Sounds reasonable to me

Tiger is Danish 

Oh come on...humour us! Take a photo, black out the name and upload!

Please...I need a laugh!
