AIBU to think this is not tat

[ShinyS1]

Recently purchased this rather gorgeous glass and metal pineapple from our local charity shop. I love it, but DH thinks it's ugly tat. Obviously he's wrong and has no appreciation for it's beauty. Maybe you lovely MN'ers can settle this argument for me.

YANBU, it's divine.
YABU, it's tat.

Obviously I know what this answer is 😁...If anyone has one, or knows where it's from I'd be intrigued to know, I'm thinking TKMaxx.

I would pay good money not to have that in my house but I defend to the death (not mine, but somebody random) your right to have it!

It doesn't light up unfortunately, it's a big jar.

I think it’s maximalist shite 😁 but it might be the look you were going for!

It's hideous! Sorry OP but it really is the ultimate in tat 😉

Battery fairy lights!

Then you need battery lights or a battery candle in it.
Think how it will shimmer ⭐

Love it but it depends on the rest of the stuff in your house

you need to drop a battery light into the base to light it up

It’s awful

I was going to tell you that pineapples are the new code for swingers but I see that's already been covered.

It actually looks quite tasteful in that pic

Tat

I'd love it but for the white of the jar. If it was another deep colour it would be fab. So, not tat but I'd spray paint its bottom.

So I've looked up the Gemma Collins range at Poundland and I cannot see my pineapple, which doesn't suprise me as my pineapple is quality and heavy, the lid especially. It was probably from an art gallery.

Fixed it for you OP 😂

Both. Yes it’s tat but if you love it, that’s all that matters 😊

You like what you like. As Marie Kondo would ask “Does it spark joy?” Can you put it somewhere where DH doesn’t have a constant view of it?

Sorry 1000% tat...

HOWEVER if you love it and it makes you happy who cares?!

Keep the tat if it makes you smile.

It is tat, but so what? Enjoy it if you like it. 🍍

If you paid more than 49p for it most of the posters on Mumsnet will think the wicked charity scammed you, and you should have haggled for it as charities don't pay rates.....

and btw it looks great

Light it up and put it in your window.. you'll get lots of visitors

It definitely sparks joy, as soon as I laid eyes on it in the shop I knew I had to have it. As for DH, he'll have to walk past it constantly, like I do with his ugly burgandy Budha thing (in the front room, no less).

Sorry OP, YABU. I'm team DH

People in #teamtat need to do a Google lens search, there is a glorious array of pineapples.
