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

Glitter glue for sticking the spider together.

Maybe false eyelashes to follow?

kwick · 19/12/2017 11:06

Um hello? What is today's gem?

Opheliasgoldenwine · 19/12/2017 11:26

We're waiting on glittery tender hooks here, OP Grin

Xmas GrinXmas GrinXmas Grin ColourCature brilliant!

Xmas Grin Spark maybe Ken's first slave was a witch and he was sent to me as part of his plan to take over the world [santa] Typical Ken that.

The shittery eyeliner does look more like glitter glue, I might make Christmas cards from the contents of the calendar.

Xmas Grin He's looking forward to having a mice time Xmas Grin Ken's gonna look so clawsome covered in glitter glue and gold stars but he won't be amewsed.

We're at Day 19! Doesn't time fly when you're opening shit.

I wish you could all feel today's gift. It's a small brush that I think is for cleaning the oven as it has a Brillo pad feel to it. Either that or it's a weapon - like a cheese grater to the face. Or maybe it's to scrape off the glitter?

Xmas Grin I forgot about the spider! I've become so spoilt I don't even know what I own.

The brush is for spreading the glitter glue.

Deathraystare · 19/12/2017 11:41

Well, a week or so ago there were loads of those advert calenders in HOF, Westfield, but when I walked in the other day there were none to be had. Obviously mumsnetters had been out in force desperate to get their hands on the luxury items!!!

Aridane · 19/12/2017 11:44

If anyone knows of any equally shittery advent calendars for next year, I would be happy to purchase for OP (and Ken) so OP can review for us all next year

LemonShark · 19/12/2017 11:47

Did anyone see on YouTube Sophie Louise's video on this calendar? I saw people a while back talking about a video but couldn't find the link so not sure if that's the one you were talking about. She does her entire face using this calendar. It's hilarious. The brush sounds physically painful to use! Will post the link if anyone wants to see it.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 19/12/2017 11:48

I bought a powder brush in Wilkinsons like that once. Unfortunately it shed its bristles all over my face when I used it which wasn't flattering and I had to throw it away.

Looking forward to the last door though. It looks promisingly large!

threehoursin · 19/12/2017 12:16

Cat puns. Amazing. Just when I thought I couldn't love this thread any more Grin

MrsPringles · 19/12/2017 12:18

Lemon
I would very much like to see that video of you don’t mind posting the link!

I care more about this glittery shittery calendar than I do my own Grin

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 19/12/2017 12:22

Misty would like to say hello to Ken & that she's a bit jealous because her -slave- Mum only has a M&S Advent Calendar.

Xmas Shock Misty is beautiful!

Ken has a message for her:

  1. Make human buy HOF calendar.
  2. Use funnel to pour glitter down human's throat.
  3. Seal human's mouth shut with glitter glue.
  4. Place dead spider on dead human - just cos I likes it, it's two of my favourite things.
  5. Use brush to dust away paw prints.
  6. Repeat to other humans until we have taken over the world.

That was amazing and now I know what delights the OP will be getting over the next few days

YOU’RE IN FOR A TREAT!

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 19/12/2017 18:20

I would like a cat. That is all. :)

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 19/12/2017 18:21

Oh. And a funnel. Just one. :)

Alicecooperslovechild · 19/12/2017 19:50

God my No7 Calendar seems even more dull now.

LaughingLlama · 19/12/2017 20:00

I just cannot believe this is House of Fraser! What a load of tacky shite. Are you sure this is aimed at adults and not 7yo girls ? (although the funnel would still be a mystery!)

Did the HOF batch of advent calendars get mixed up with a batch meant for Poundland?Confused

neveradullmoment99 · 19/12/2017 20:42

I don't get what the funnel is used for Confused
Enjoyed the video. I agree. Tacky junk!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 19/12/2017 21:35

He's good at this modelling lark is Ken. He's certainly got a look of lion about him.
Misty says she thought we cats had taken over the world (but she likes the bit about the dead spider.......perhaps with a few crunched up mouse bones as final embellishment?) Xmas Grin

FlashTheSloth · 19/12/2017 21:38

I got very excited on Sunday. I was having a tidy up of my bathroom cupboards, AND I CAME ACROSS A SMALL FUNNEL! Then DD was doing some sand art that she got from Father Christmas, it came with a tiny funnel. I now have 2! Neither are make up related though. The one in the bathroom came with a small, empty bottle set, where you decant from larger bottles.
