We don’t often feature stuff which is so horrendous it makes us gasp, but in this case we’ve made an exception as a public service warning. So for all those good folk who are thinking of buying this Printed Christmas Tree Poster as a replacement for a real or plastic Yuletide tree, we urge you to think again. If only for the sake of the children.

Sure you won’t have to sweep up millions of annoying fir needles, and there’s no disposal hassles after the holiday has ended. And yes it’s going to be incredibly easy to erect as long as you’ve got the Sellotape handy, but good grief….are you really that desperate?

But the real reason we have a fundamental problem with this product is the fact that Father Christmas won’t be able to find it once he pops down the chimney on that special night. That’s right, he’ll be hunting around in the dark for some bushy receptacle for all those luscious pressies and he’ll find nothing. Which means he’ll have to haul the collection back up the chimney again and back to cold storage in Lapland.

Do you want that on your conscience? Priced at a ridiculous $19.09/£11.99.
