Wtf, John Lewis? Wtf? Why would you do this, why?

Will anyone buy one?

(If you can't see the picture, imagine Santa's icy corpse rising from a bath of mortuary chemicals, and charge yourself £25)

😂 I buy my cousin the most disgusting bauble I can find each year - this is up there!

PuttingDownRoots · 07/09/2022 19:04

We get bizarre JL decorations every year. Spaceships, vegetables, unicorns, a greenhouse, cacti, rainbow, squirrel, teapot..

No thanks on bathtub.

(DD has had her carrot bauble in her room all year.

brilliant typo - festive farter @ReginaPerrin - I thought you were meaning re the onions to start with😂

CookieCoo · 07/09/2022 20:26

That’s dreadful.

Also £25??! What the hell have they done with their pricing? I bought a lot of new baubles from JL 4 years ago and they were so much cheaper then!!

I love the JL bizarre baubles. I treat myself to a couple every year Grin

I didnt honestly know there was a bauble protocol. I thought they were meant to be a collection of sentimental baubles that mean simething to the family. So does this mean my ziggy stardust , New York taxi and Vegas show girl are tacky then even though they bring back lovely memories?

There's quite a lot of Bauble protocol. Baubles must be tasteful, and similarly themed (ideally "Scandi-Minimalist") but they CAN'T match. I learned last year on MN that a tree of matching baubles is chavvy. I'm so grateful for the free education MN provides.

Champagne in the bath, for me for £25.
hang cork on the tree, job done!

mondaytosunday · 07/09/2022 21:23

Oh @ReginaPerrin I live the veggie ornaments! I have an onion and broccoli!
I think they say 'out of stock' because they actually haven't stocked them yet.

@mondaytosunday I was probably being unfair really, although i do think if John Lewis are going to go down this route they should at least sell a stuffing ball bauble or a pig-in-blanket bauble!

Nooo! Urban outfitters/ TK Maxx or Homesense normally come up trumps for under a tenner.
Its in the right taste- league though 😂

You need to get yourselves down to Wilkos or B & M.

Christmas tat for a couple of quid.

My favourite tree decorations came from Wilko about five years ago. Got loads of different pretty glass baubles for about £1 each. Much nicer than Santa in the bath. Sadly, when I went back the next year to get more they were selling ugly plastic stuff instead.

Can anyone link to the gibbon? I have failed in my search for it!

JML001 · 08/09/2022 20:56

I spotted it on the John Lewis website, couldn't resist a nosey after reading the original post 🙈

GettingStuffed · 08/09/2022 20:57

Do the have the gherkin, German tradition is for the kids to try and find the gherkin and the first gets, I believe, a marzipan pig.

@Voiceofreason92

Hilarious - It’s a close second for sure!

So is he holding a Birthday cake OR a Christmas cake?
It’s one and the same for him - I love it anyway for fun. 😂

TeenTraumaTrials · 18/09/2022 09:07

That's exactly what I thought. I do love a 'special' decoration but £25 WTF
