Is paying someone to “dress” the front door a thing now?

[EachandEveryone]

Really is this happening? I’ve seen a friend asking for recommendations on fb that’s the second in as many days.

I've seen the same on fb mental.

Big business round by me this year.
Don’t get it myself.

Blimey
Am I missing out on potential weekend work?

Our postman is pissed off with the stupid big bows that everyone seems to cover their letter boxes with. Rightly so. What's wrong with a lovely wreath.

Bloody hell. If it really is a thing I'm finally emigrating.

I saw on a Facebook group that someone had paid a "tree decorator" to decorate their Christmas tree !!!

This is an example

Oh I would love to do that!

Thanks fir the thread OP, I’m going to seriously look at this for next year.

*for

Fir was an accidental pun 😂

Wow, do you think they could throw in a bigger house too?

Omg that one in the picture with the kids in front of. Where's the bloody door 😂

My mum and dad put a lovely wreath on their door the other year. It got nicked. You do not put stuff on your door around here at any time of the year

Easy side gigs. We’ve got a few guys who put up/take down lights and do out door tree lights. Meticulous work, you can tell when it’s done by a pro.

Oh God, another thing I’m failing at.

Paying someone to dress your home is big business. 2k on Christmas flowers and theming anyone?? Someone I know pays this every year! They do like keeping up with the footballers who live in their village though and it appears everyone is doing this ( not me but we don't live in the same village so I have no footballers to keep up with😀)

Is this something for the grey crushed velvet brigade?

Ridiculous professionally done bows on front doors in the neighbouring town that thinks it's posh but is really the opposite have been a thing for a few years now. I've never seen one in my good decent working class town that the posh town sneers at

I suppose wedding venue dressers have developed a side line to keep them afloat.

Yeah, this is not something for people like me whose front door opens directly onto the pavement is it? It would last about two minutes before it was nicked.

Perhaps when I move to that Georgian mansion with a gravel driveway (even then, I don't think I would want decorations bigger than the door itself like in the photos - bit try-hard).

Someone keeps advertising that kind of thing on our local Facebook page. Only it's nowhere near as elaborate as those examples...she essentially wants paying to stick a bit of ribbon and a big bow on your front door

@DerbyshireMama my thoughts exactly! Maybe you need mirrored & crushed velvet everything before you can apply to have your door dressed 😂

@becomestronger we have loads around here in our decent working class town, it's funny because I always thought they were a slightly tacky thing that the 'posh' people turned their noses up at! I think they're quite cute (being a lover of tacky Christmas glitz myself) but people are charging around £15 to put them up around here, I can't imagine it takes any longer than 5 minutes to wrap two strips of organza around a door and tie a knot in the back and stick a bow in the middle? But then again I say the same about all the hampers filled with pound shop tat and hot chocolate cones that everyone starts selling now so I think I'm just a tightarse in general 😂

Where can I find more photos? I love a bit of Christmas tat!

Everything is a "thing" these days

Celebs have been doing this for a few years so I guess with Instagram etc it has become more of a "thing"

People do love Christmas. I run a business with DH selling the bits to make displays of Christmas lights and we have been manic this year (last year was still busy but we have sold twice as much this year - no change to advertising or anything)

And do the tree !! Is it that difficult ?? 😱
