Paperchase tit wrapping paper?

So I was in Paperchase earlier today when I noticed white wrapping paper covered with what I am pretty sure was various types of silver tits. I said to the assistant, if you’re going to sell this, where is the knob paper? AIBU to think they should sell both?!!

Say what? Do you have a photo of said wrapping paper?

I saw this a few weeks ago!

I saw that wrapping paper - it's on postcards too - and was Hmm about it.

I made a complaint to Paperchase about their kids school lunch bag, clearly aimed at junior school kids by the childish design, which said

WTF !!

On it. Their response was:

Sorry no I didn’t take any photos. I just thought it was a bit odd, slightly like the laddish culture of the 90s. Weird.

Paperchase is stationery for adults.

Feminists reclaiming tits is a tumblr/instagram thing lots of it on Etsy. Genital socks and the like.

Sounds like they are trying to take on Scribbler

I'm guessing it was like this www.paperchase.com/en_gb/stationery/notebooks/lined-page/boob-lined-notebook.html

Seems to be a range called “sisterhood”

P.s: if you think paperchase is aimed at kids you haven’t been paying attention. It’s pricey, it’s niche, it’s for adults.

Here’s a pic

Why is that lunch bag clearly for kids?

Ambivert · 15/11/2019 21:44

There isn’t a full willy range tho... just the odd item 😂

I think it is relevant that the boobs are of different sizes and shapes and it looks to me like there is one which represents a mastectomy.
I think it represents diversity rather than titillation if you'll forgive the pun

LuckySeventhWave · 15/11/2019 21:47

@MiddleClassProblem they’d placed it in the accessories section aimed at young children : grown women aren’t attracted to fluffy pom-pom pencil cases with jokes about schoolteachers on them.

TryingToBeBold · 15/11/2019 21:48

Why is that lunch box aimed towards kids? Surely it depends on your sense of humour.. I'm 28 and would buy it..

Selfsettlingat3 · 15/11/2019 21:51

I think it’s fine. It’s not sexualised but just different boobs.

MiddleClassProblem · 15/11/2019 21:54

Surely it’s just in the pencil case section. Some adults do like Pom-poms. If there was a birthday card section or a pen section there would pens for kids/teens there are next to adult style pens. It’s not like a clothes shop where you have a kids section.

AudTheDeepMinded · 15/11/2019 21:59

I would go (actually I wouldn't, only in theory) to Smiggle for kids' lunch boxes. I know plenty of grown women who would purchase sparkly covered lunch boxes!

AudTheDeepMinded · 15/11/2019 22:00

I'm a bit disappointed as I thought it was paper with blue tits etc on and thought it sounded quite nice!

AuntyElle · 15/11/2019 22:01

I agree, OP, it’s just bog-standard objectification dressed up (ha!) as woke inclusivity. Bollocks to it.

Ohyesiam · 15/11/2019 22:05

what I am pretty sure was various types of silver tits.
The picture is not this description, it’s obvious and multicoloured tits.

There must be a big tittery at paper chase.

Drpeppered · 15/11/2019 22:06

Boobs are not genitals

missyB1 · 15/11/2019 22:07

I thought you meant Christmas wrapping paper and I was wondering what tits have to do with Christmas?! Although Jesus would obviously have been bf I suppose.

MiddleClassProblem · 15/11/2019 22:09

@AudTheDeepMinded they have blue tit gift bags and tags
