Casually browsing market place and came across these "pamper baskets" for £12.50 each...

Tampons aren't my idea of a pamper, neither is toothpaste and deodorant! GrinGrin

Also there's a glass but no prosseco?

Anyone else got any goodies they'd like to share?

I thought they were hygiene boxes first that are given out to people who are unfortunately living rough. As aforementioned looks like hotel freebies and pound shop effort.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 09/08/2020 19:05

Are these to take into prison?

Proudboomer · 09/08/2020 19:05

Clearly I am missing a business opportunity.
I could do paper boxes for the older woman
Replace the tampax with a couple of tena lady And the sweets with some anti acids and maybe add in some femefresh and flog the whole lot in an empty shoe box for £20

It's a Geordie sense of humour thing.

I've seen a lot, lot worse on Facebbok tat; but the first one definitely needed a bottle of dog in there.

BitOfFun · 09/08/2020 19:10

Reduced from £20 to a tenner. I wonder why?

Not sure what the joke is? On a friday night I love nothing more than a glass of wine, a good book, 2 (and only 2) starbursts, and the peak of my evening - putting a tampon in.

It is my version of a Spa day I will have you know!!

jcurve · 09/08/2020 19:13

The men’s deo and Plax are a nice touch I think 👍

I do like the luxury of a cup of bog standard instant coffee from unnecessary unreachable plastic waste. Especially with gum.

BarefootHippieChick · 09/08/2020 19:18

Are these to take into prison

😂😂 Possibly part of the punishment!

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 09/08/2020 19:18

I thought the Geordie inspirational quotes were the only good thing.

GennyCrabby · 09/08/2020 19:19

*unrecyclable.

Eatyourbanana · 09/08/2020 19:22

Lol

JamieLeeCurtains · 09/08/2020 19:23

I didn't say it was actually funny. A pp didn't recognise it as Geordie. It's supposed to be, presumably, an 'alreet mate' comfort box for all occasions, including those of the hormonal persuasion.

I can imagine a more twisted version of it in Top Tips actually, with a piece of left over kebab.

The Xmas season is absolute gold for glittery tat, @Mammyloveswine. There are some old threads on Chat on here that have had me cracked up.

Wilko312 · 09/08/2020 19:24

Absolutely fucking awful 🤦‍♀️ I'll be IRL the profile has 'self employed' or something in their title. People that arrange a few toiletries or bits of chocolate in a box for Easter are not self made entrepreneurs.. They probably aren't even paying tax for a kick off. That said why should we be mad at the grass roots for not paying tax when there are so many massive companies not doing it- twats!

LunaMuffinTop · 09/08/2020 19:24

I present to you a photograph memory pen for only £35 😂.

*bet, sorry

Mummyoflittledragon · 09/08/2020 19:25

Missing one for the post menopausal woman. Blue rinse, Nora Batty stockings, tweezers for the granny whiskers, denture box and 2 boiled sweets (wouldn’t want it to get stuck in the dentures dear).

LunaMuffinTop · 09/08/2020 19:25

Try again the £35 pen.
