I think you all know them, they come through the door and they've a thousand curious and strange items in. I love looking through them, mostly in horror. Here's my two favourite finds so far this Christmas season!

The rabbit is going to be featured in all my nightmares for the next few years, but at least the description of the kit for men gave me something to puzzle over.

Don't get the sandpaper mixed up with the toilet paper! :ohmy:

That's one scary looking bunny! :scared15:

Haha isn't it! I should have taken a picture of the surely popular book "50 ways to tie a scarf"too.

The "Fatal Attraction" bunny hot water bottle will go down well in households with frazzled sleep-deprived parents!

The kit for men is interesting-would the sandpaper be used to smooth down a prickly beard/sharp tongue?

I cant see the bunny in question ?!?

Ive just had the Book People christmas edition arrive and I want to buy so much stuff from it. There are some fantastic spoken word sets like Phlip Pullman etc.

I love that little man bag. Although if I got it for my partner, he’d just lose it within an hour...

Oooo I've thrown mine away already, do so as they appear on the mat, but next one I'll look out for something strange and post it. They are so full, aren't they, of things you just don't need. APART from the lakeland one, that was ace.

It's two separate images, if you click further to the left it will open. You might wish it hadn't though, pulisa is right naming it the fatal attraction bunny...:ohmy:

Carys

Hey, why do you think I need it ? LOL I don't reckon there are 50 ways anyway, not proper different ways.

pulisa
09-11-18, 20:55
Oh someone will have devised 50 different ways..Someone with time on their hands!

I'm sure there will be a Brexit Survival Guide included in some of the Christmas catalogues! I couldn't believe it when I read that people were having therapy for Brexit- Cognitive Brexit Therapy perhaps?

Carys, I have that book... '50 ways to tie a scarf' and you are right. 50 ways is not quite true, just slight variations, but a basic 5. :D I love scarves because you can hide behind them. Except for when I get a hot flush and I then rip it off in a mad frenzy. :D

Honestly, nothing poo related is gonna be pretty, but my god they really captured the feel of a diseased red setters excrement with that. It's even more gross than the real thing. It'll Make a lovely centre piece for the table. Good find!

That's actually quite good if you think outside the box. You can throw it at people whilst playing something to annoy them. And it's Bluetooth so if it's still in rang you can easily play some suitable sound effects at said annoying person. :winks::yesyes:

Jehovah's Witnesses seen heading for my gate. Response, a frisbee playing something saying how great magic is.

Endless possibilities! :yesyes:
