Need to get some awful matching Christmas jumpers. Looked at Etsy not sure if the quality. Anyone have any ideas?

Next usually have ones for the whole family.

lannistunut · 23/10/2022 13:42

Why do you need them to match? I'd look secondhand but just because the environmental waste of buying shit pisses me off.

WildFlowerBees · 23/10/2022 13:44

Looked at Next @NancyJoan not nearly horrible enough! Thank you though.

Yes,why on earth fuck up the planet even more for stupidity like this? Seriously, why?

Why not repurpose some existing jumpers and decorate them yourself?

Why does everything need to be about buying stuff?

Fraaahnces · 23/10/2022 13:51

Why do they have to be quality? It’s a day. Look on Ali Express.

I'm not asking for the opinions on if I should be buying jumpers I'm asking for ideas of awful jumpers. If you can't help with that please bugger off. I'm not interested in you attempting to berate me for something I'm doing. It's not just a 'one year only' jumper.

Take two jumpers from your wardrobes . Stitch tinsel on in the shape of a tree, same with baubles and battery lights. Keep said jumpers for next year and use cotton wool to make snowman head, baubles for eyes and nose and a cinnamon stick for its mouth. Alter yearly.

Rude! I don’t think I’ll bother with my suggestions then if that’s your shitty attitude

Mindymomo · 23/10/2022 13:56

They usually sell pretty naff ones in Home Bargains.

Mochacino · 23/10/2022 13:58

I usually just add varying degrees of tat to mine every year. Have a set of pound shop lights I rotate around my 8 tops(yes 8. From Dec 1 I wear them all the time. Have smart evening ones, jersey ones, T-shirts, a cardigan) Sometimes there’s tinsel, sometimes there’s not.
last year I got a magnificent cardigan from Primark. It’s awesome in a garish but beautiful way (really excellent quality and warm too) They came in lots of sizes so if they’re in , buy 2. Has a pocket and all😂
customisation is key😂

Knittedfairies · 23/10/2022 13:58

This is pretty awful...

minticecreamisjustok · 23/10/2022 13:59

Boohoo have some awful ones

WildFlowerBees · 23/10/2022 14:03

They aren't for one day only, they intend to wear them throughout December and the following Decembers whilst they continue their fund raising for Battens disease having lost their own child 5 years ago.

I don't have a shitty attitude I don't appreciate being told what I 'should' be doing without any knowledge of why I'm asking.

I was asked if I could help find something, I thought I'd ask here. Thanks for the ideas so far I'll pass them on.

WildFlowerBees · 23/10/2022 14:05

Thanks @Mindymomo good ideas perhaps they can attach bits as each year passes to make them different.

WildFlowerBees · 23/10/2022 14:05

Very awful @Knittedfairies thank you!

Well said op. I bought a really naff Xmas jumper at peacocks once, not sure if they're even still going.

ladygindiva · 23/10/2022 14:09

I've just looked and they are and have a fair selection.

WildFlowerBees · 23/10/2022 14:12

Great thanks @ladygindiva I'll take a look.

To be fair I didn't even think of Amazon!

I don't care if you do not like that I am pointing out an uncomfortable truth to you. It doesn't matter how much you wear it, your jumper will have been produced in an unethical, environmentally unsustainable way by some poor sod who won't even be paid a living wage and it will shed plastic into our water supply every time you wash it.

WildFlowerBees · 23/10/2022 14:29

Point taken Twig, so can you then suggest an ethically sourced, fair trade ugly jumper that doesn't shed plastic each time it's worn?
