Has anyone seen any tree decorations that are coronavirus-related? Like Santa with a face mask sort of thing.

Omg make them now, you’ll be a millionaire! But no. Just googled though and Amazon have a bauble for a tree with Santa and a mask.

I've had some targeted ads on Facebook pop up with some that look like this one from Amazon

Reading the title I got an image of an actual virus shaped bauble, with little spikes like the giant graphics you see behind the newsreaders.

I keep seeing them on Facebook. Not for me, but they pop up everyday in my feed.

tmh88 · 09/10/2020 08:51

Etsy are doing lots of them!

PeskyRooks · 09/10/2020 08:52

I think they're horrible.

Bbq1 · 09/10/2020 09:09

Why do you want reminding of a horrible pandemic that has harmed thousands and ruined 2020? At Christmas of all times too. I saw a Christmas card the other day. It was for Son and had 2020 in massive letters on it then a load of 'Coronaviris facts'! On a Christmas card!

MyBowelsMatch · 10/10/2020 08:28

I’ve just ordered this one: LINK

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 10/10/2020 08:32

I personally don’t want to be reminded of this year for the pandemic. I would rather remember the good things that have happened in my family.

SoUtterlyGroundDown · 10/10/2020 08:33

Unfortunately yes I have, they’re awful.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 10/10/2020 08:39

I didn’t actually answer the question. Blush

I see them daily on my Facebook newsfeed. All sorts of terrible designs.

MadisonAvenue · 10/10/2020 08:49

I’ve seen some on Amazon but they’re not something I’d want. I don’t want reminders of this year.

Wherearefoxssocks · 10/10/2020 15:50

I saw one that just had a santa's sleigh and a rainbow on it. No masks, no "Lockdown Christmas". Just a rainbow. I liked that one. I was going to get it but it sold out. If anyone sees anything similar please let me know

IggyAce · 10/10/2020 19:09

I ordered a gingerbread man with a mask, from Crafty bubble on FB there are several available with a lockdown theme.

slipperywhensparticus · 10/10/2020 19:13

I've got a reindeer in a face mask 😷 it just called to me in a moment of meh the kids like it so its going on the tree

Brunt0n · 10/10/2020 19:17

What a fucking depressing tree decoration. Do you think Christmas 1918 they had wee Santa’s with gas masks?

MumbleJunction · 10/10/2020 19:19

I like the toilet roll ones Grin

katy1213 · 10/10/2020 19:19

But is there a Lockdown Ladybird book yet? (Probably there is!)

Frouby · 10/10/2020 19:21

Try LaserHandCrafts on Etsy, it's my cousins business and they have done a roaring trade in them, they are quite tastefully done.

Bluewavescrashing · 10/10/2020 19:24

Why would you want that?!

SoUtterlyGroundDown · 10/10/2020 19:25

This! I don’t understand why anyone would want a visual reminder of the year that tens of thousands of people died and hundreds of thousands lost their jobs and livelihoods.

Loads of people enjoy being reminded of death and famine as they sing along to feed the fucking world every Xmas.

A bauble of Santa in a mask doesn't have to make everyone thing of dead people, it could represent family coming together and spending time with each other. Doesn't have to be a reminder of only the sad things that have happened.

They aren't my thing but then I don't put a tree up but I can see why they appeal to others.

Namechange170518 · 10/10/2020 19:55

I've made a crochet toilet roll with a santa hat

TheFormerPorpentinaScamander · 10/10/2020 20:01

I've made a crochet covid germ which we'll hang on the tree.

I've seen loads on etsy.
