Full description

'Noisy night, terrible night

I hate carolsingers, they always sound sh-te

Round my doorway expecting mince pies

But I'm wholly naughty and not at all nice

Please just leave me in peace!

I said PLEASE JUST LEAVE ME IN PEACE!'

Six old, grotty, grubby, formerly silver-plated vintage 'apostle' coffee spoons, each handstamped with a grumpy un-festive message. This lot were particularly disreputable but they didn't want to be left out of the grump-fest even though I told them they'd have to be consigned to the Bargain Bin. They took the chance. I hope perhaps you will too.

Size: They are approximately 11.5cm long. The lettering is coloured with non-toxic, water-based acrylic ink. Gentle hand washing is recommended to prolong the pigment life.

Wording: This set contains the following messages.

SILENT NIGHT. PLEASE.

BAUBLES TO YULE

I'M NAUGHTY. DEAL WITH IT.

NICE IS OVER-RATED

NO HO HO

IT'S THE LEAST WONDERFUL TIME

Please note: These are vintage items that have been pre-owned. You will receive the six spoons shown in the photos. They are old and grotty, they have lost all of their former silver plating and some of them have remnants of old sticky labels on the backs where someone previously tried unsuccessfully to sell them. But if you have someone on your Xmas List who loathes the whole festive thing, or who only deserves a token rubbish present for whatever reason, they might just hit the spot!
