To remind everyone of the little Christmas gem on ebay, that no-one has bought yet.

[GetTheFlockOutOfHere]

Don't miss out folks... It was for sale last year, and it's back this year, as there were no takers. SHOCKER!

It's the '12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS MASSIVE TABLE CENTER PIECE DECORATION - ALL DAYS / FIGURES!'

Just £699.99. Don't walk, RUN, or you'll miss it!

Its so bad it's great.
I am willing to put in my pound

Awww, I know it's Christmas when this thread comes up on MN

Anyone else secretly wish they'd been at the original dinner party? I bet David was a lovely host.

I also genuinely worry I'm going to get totally pissed and buy it one year....

Is that maid in the pale blue dress near the middle milking....a horse?!

@NoSquirrels

Oh come on. This is a MN crowdfunder, surely?

£1 a ticket, only allowed 1 share so total investment £1.

700 deluded/gin-soaked/festive fuckers and a lottery style ‘who gets it next year’ draw…

Pretty please…

I'm definitely up for this.

I remember the first year this appeared. Didn't realise it came back!

I'm pretty sure he only lists it at £699 so it doesn't sell and gets to go viral, so someone really does need to buy it. Has anyone checked completed listings to see if it ever sold and then he refused to send it? Or is he making more of them? Surely you can't recreate it.

That's quite a centrepiece 😮

Let’s face it this magical jewel of wonder is cheap at half the price. People would travel from far and wide to feast their eyes on this magical jewel of wonder. Crowds would gather the like of which we’ve only ever seen queuing for the Next Boxing Day sale in Kettering.

35 new watchers now, poor seller will think he's got real interest 🤣

@Chocolatewheatos

Aw I feel sorry for him! He clearly worked hard on it!

Same. If you read the description there's a lot involved.

@Blooeyes- yes, I believe she is…

….and a drunk chicken in a pear tree! 🎶

I want this SOOO badly!!

I don't understand how it took years to plan? My class of 6 year olds could have done it in a 45 minute DT lesson.
The sweet eggs I took to be like a bag of mini Lindors?
I wonder if the guests still talk about that day...

But it's so odd that this particular item keeps re-surfacing every year. As a pp said further back, I think this is the 5th year it's been up.

He's probably encouraged by the number of views it keeps getting!

You can hear it now: "Look, look!! ... this is the year it'll finally sell!!"

I wonder if he's aware of the real world Mumsnet?

@StormyCornishSeas

As soon as I read the thread title I knew what this would be about.

I love how tacky and wonderful it is. Perhaps if we all put in a quid it could be the official mn Christmas decoration. Or there at least needs to be a mn emoji of it.

A magical piece of art and no mistake.

I've been here 11 years. How have I managed to miss this thing of beauty until now!

If I won a large chunk of money (a very large chunk) I would buy this and display it proudly every year!

He said it's 'massive' but it's only a foot tall?

Actually I've just noticed you can make an offer...,

There are so many brilliant, hilarious responses on here, that I would be here til 5pm trying to quote them all!

I do agree with the poster who said the block of upper case text is hard to read though! And as many posters have said, when you do manage to read it, it's soooo funny. 😂

Also, as a previous poster said, I do wonder if this man's wife has said 'get rid of that bastard monstrosity,' and he has purposely priced it at £700 so it won't sell.

Guess what? The item has 51 people watching it now. Ahh, the power of Mumsnet!!! 😂

One year there was a brilliant thread on MN about Xmas tat for sale on FB/eBay.

Please could we have another of those? I was incapacitated with laughter, it felt awesome!

There is LOADS of tat on facebook! There's even a few facebook pages dedicated to it. One of the funniest is 'people selling mirrors,' and trying to hide themselves from the reflection while they are taking the photo. Personally I would just get my camera (not my phone one-the proper one,) and put it on self timer!

Some of these are funny.

Another 3!
