So it arrived damaged. Never mind, I thought, it's what's inside that counts...

I think it's the top for a hair dye bottle and the next gift is a bottle of red henna dye circa 1963 😁

Oh dear. But at least you haven't lost your sense of humour! And you'll find a use for your funnel. Grin

Ollivander84 · 02/12/2017 15:11

Second that the funnel looks like one I got for ciate nail beads

missfliss · 02/12/2017 15:12

I started the Look Fantastic advent calendar thread and we WISH we had a funnel...

I feel somehow lesser now

reallyorange · 02/12/2017 17:18

I just looked up the HOF calendar to spoiler myself and they haven't even got the funnel in the picture of all the goodies!

No spoilers but if you are hoping for the shitness to be continued then you are unlikely to be disappointed...

reallyorange · 02/12/2017 17:19

Oh, i just read the description of what the calendar contains. The funnel thing is described as:

"funnel"

So that clears that up.

BringMeTea · 02/12/2017 17:23

This is all marvellous! More excited about this than my LF calendar now.

JuneFromBethesda · 02/12/2017 17:38

DH thought it was a hat for the mascara Grin

iwouldgoouttonight · 02/12/2017 17:46

I thought I had no interest at all in advent calendars until I idly opened this thread. Now I'm gripped to see what's in day 3. I'm thinking mini golf club to go with the mini golf tee funnel Xmas Grin

I'm aware it had supposed to be beauty products but I think they're supplementing with last year's cracker toys.

Lucked · 02/12/2017 17:57

Hands down best Christmas thread.

That mascara looks so cheap and shit you are braver than me to put it near your eyes. And agree the funnel looks like it’s for pouring nail micro beads back into the bottle. Very strange without an explanation.

Roll on day 3

Lucked · 02/12/2017 18:03

Just seen it is reduced to £12.50. Still not tempted😀

chloechloe · 02/12/2017 18:56

I have the M&S and Liberty calendars (overboard indeed) yet neither has brought me as much delight as this thread! Bring on day 3...

I've got a HoF ad at the bottom of this thread. If only they knew.

I want a little funnel now.

Cheeseandcucumber · 02/12/2017 19:42

Xmas Grin I'm not sure I'll bother opening any more doors as I now have all I could possibly need! 5 min wear mascara that stings? Check. Funnel? Check.

I definitely wouldn't pay £12.50 for it. I'm offended to receive it for free.

Orange thank goodness you found HOF's useful description - it answers all but 198 of our questions Grin

I might gift it to FIL as a golf tee, iwould Xmas Grin

I'm enjoying this thread too. If only I had the time (or the inclination) to funnel nail beads onto my talons...

Opheliasgoldenwine · 02/12/2017 21:47

This is a great thread Grin

clairethewitch70 · 02/12/2017 21:50

Looking behind the picture of the funnel, what on earth is day 12 going to be?

DuckOffAutocorrectYouShiv · 02/12/2017 21:56

I am coveting your funnel, cheese

KitNCaboodle · 02/12/2017 21:58

I have this too. My DS10 laughed so hard at my face when I opened door 2 this morning, he had a coughing fit.
I googled and I thought it was to funnel liquid make up into smaller containers for travel.

Cheeseandcucumber · 02/12/2017 22:08

Xmas Grin day 12 is either a dreidel or a kebab, I'm sure if it!

We're in this together, Kit Grin That is a good idea for the use of the funnel but make sure you keep your eye on it, there are a lot of MNers out there who are now desperate to get their hands on one.

Oh what joy will tomorrow bring? Best Advent calendar ever. This made me really laugh, OP.

Unicorn81 · 02/12/2017 22:57

Mini funnel to easily fill your hip flask so you remain drunk throughout December and then the rest of the advent doesnt seem shit?

clairethewitch70 · 02/12/2017 23:02

I reckon number 1 and 2 go together. Number 1 is not a mascara. It is black paint with a brush. You have to paint the small end of the funnel with the mascara brush, then use to stamp on designer moles. Just what every girl wants, a mole stamp Xmas Grin

clairethewitch70 · 02/12/2017 23:04

Just think OP, in 1 hour you can open number 3, we are waiting
