Aibu... for buying a £118 Christmas jumper for a present?

[Crazyaboutdots]

I've been told that is utterly ridiculous to spend that amount of money for that but I still love the jumper!

You could wear that anytime. If you can afford and love it, why not. Are you worried recipient won't like it?

Does the intended recipient happen to be a giraffe? If so, it's definitely not unreasonable. (Christmas sweaters for giraffes need a lot of wool.)

I really like both of them

Dh valued it at £30, even with the alpaca wool. It strikes me it will lose its shape very quickly and the nylon will bobble. I love the colours but think there are far better made jumpers for less money.

I like both of them!

If I could afford to spend that much on clothes then I would buy either, so if you can afford to buy them don’t feel bad and enjoy.

I’d wear this through to spring.... not that unreasonable and it sounds like a jumper you bought someone for Xmas as opposed to a Xmas jumper. Go for your life. YANBU

I don't understand why anyone would spend £118 on a jumper that looks like it's worth about £10.

I have a very similar jumper from Tesco.

Unreasonable isn't the word. Bonkers is the word. For something only worn for a few days a year, totally ridiculous amount of money.

Don't change it, it's lovely! I think the stripey one is more wearable beyond Christmas. Its also alpaca, which is gorgeous next to the skin. The sequin one is acrylic, which is not nice.

Just give me the money!

Does look good

The OP is misleading. Everyone knows that a Christmas jumper is a piece of tacky tat. What you bought does not sound like the ubiquitous type. However, it was ridiculous to spend that on something from Anthropologie of all places.

Agree

It looks like the Emperor’s “new clothes”.

This one

Don’t you just love people who post things like this 🙄

YABU, unless you are very rich with more money than sense.

Is it this one? I rather like it. Don't think I'd pay £118 for it though.

Perfectly fine to spend that amount - if you're a fan of the old Zoom ice-lolly

If it’s anthropology then it’s kist a regular priced item. Nice to get someone something they would never spend on themselves

Dh valued it at £30, even with the alpaca wool.

Return it OP.

A poster’s husband has made his judgement, and it’s not worth it.

^ . A man has spoken.

Lovely jumper.
If you can afford it and you like I, why do you care what anyone else thinks?

One IMPORTANT point, I'd never give dry clean only items as gifts... Maybe that's only because I don't like dry cleaners...

Much prefer the sequined one!
