A mail order company has just sent me a random thing (in error). It's like a wooden ornament, carved into a face shape, a bit like the Easter Island heads Confused. And it has 'Rachael' carved on the front of it. Apparently it's a 'personalised glasses holder' (the face wears the glasses).

I've just phoned them and they've apologised for the error and said that I can 'keep it with their compliments'. Lucky me Hmm I don't know any Rachaels, let alone any who wear glasses...

So anyway, in the spirit of Christmas I thought I would offer it out there, should anyone want a slightly wierd stocking filler for a Rachael who tends to lose her glasses Smile

PS Actually it's not like the Easter Island heads as it has no eyes, just a nose and a mouth....

Not really selling it to you am I Grin

The first thread for ages to make me laugh out loud... I love MN for the randomness of the posts Xmas Grin

Haha, that's the most bonkers gift I've seen this year. What the hell do they think you're going to do with it?!

Maybe I should start another thread "Give me ideas of what I can do with this - best one wins a 'mystery prize'" (can't think what...)

Grin Unfortunately DD and I aren't called Racheal and the one I know spelt like that doesn't wear glasses.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/12/2012 13:09

That is so random and funny - MN at its best!

I am called Rachel and I wear glasses - no extra A though.

That's made my day that has! :)

hippoCritt · 19/12/2012 13:14

Remus you could change the spelling of your name or anyone else I believe deed poll is quite a simple process

rockinaroundthebadtasteflump · 19/12/2012 13:17

Ooh yes do that, it's definitely worth it Xmas Smile

rockin - I love this thread. Please don't be too hasty in going to charity shop, as I am DETERMINED that there must be a MN-er out there who knows Rachael, you know, the one that always loses her glasses.

rockinaroundthebadtasteflump · 19/12/2012 13:26

Ooh I like that idea Xmas Smile

I will hang onto them for now - I may even put them on the mantlepiece adorned with a nice sprig of holly Xmas Grin

But if you're out there Rachael with the lost glasses - I may just have the answer to your prayers....

Oh yes - knit a tiny Santa hat for it too.

rockinaroundthebadtasteflump · 19/12/2012 13:30

them? WTF, I meant 'it'. There is, and can only be, one Xmas Grin

does it she need a tiara?
I have a few slightly wonky ones that I don't need.

rockinaroundthebadtasteflump · 19/12/2012 13:34

But Aha Norks maybe your tiara needs a wooden glasses face with no eyes, eh?

GoldMyrrhAndNonsense · 19/12/2012 13:36

Maybe it's the actual head that's called Rachael rather than belonging to one...

Cyclebump · 19/12/2012 13:42

I am a Rachael who wears glasses!!!

rockinaroundthebadtasteflump · 19/12/2012 13:49

Cyclebump!!! Where have you been!!

Say the word and they are yours Xmas Smile

Only condition is you have to post a pic on your profile in the new year showing you proudly using it Xmas Grin

rockinaroundthebadtasteflump · 19/12/2012 13:52

I think I've frightened her away now Xmas Sad
