patsylabrador Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I have! As it's holiday season I was wondering if anyone else has bought anything on holiday that they wouldn't dream of buying normally. I made my dubious purchase in Tokyo....it's a little comic style geisha girl who is solar powered so that her head rocks from side to side. Why did I buy that? Who knows. It's quite creepy but there it is, sitting on the window sill rocking away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRoo Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 When we go away we make it a point to always try and buy cheesy fridge magnets wherever we go, so I now have a 'poker chip' magnet from Monaco - does that count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I have a bobbing solar Sumo wrestler from Tokyo last year! I also got a chick which no longer bobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Oh, I have one of those as well! Everything holiday I go on I buy a little thing, it has to be something a little bit naff and it all goes around the shelf in the porch. My latest addition was a little bright yellow dodo bird money box from Mauritius. It's nice as I can remember where each one came from.

patsylabrador Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 All wonderful. I guess these are similar to the odd but meaningful decorations some of us put on Christmas trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Lurid yellow banana liqueur from Tenerife, in a banana bunch shaped bottle................. In fact we always seem to bring back a bottle of the local gutrot, which invariably tastes wonderful on holiday but vile here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Sadly I seemed to have outgrown naff stage - got a tasteful magnet with a cat on from Spain and a maxi dress. They are very good for hiding the legs before a wax and I think most ages can wear. Also I had a very naff homemade one in my early teens so now i can buy a more funky one. We didnt buy any liquer. It often tastes great when you are sitting doing nothing - get it home to chilly Blighty and it soon wears off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Bought a new bicycle this year on holiday! But I think that doesn't really count does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavclojak Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Ahhh thank you, I love it and am so glad I had it! I'm 51 and never had or considered one before, it hurt like bejeezus...apparently I chose the most painful place We were a group of 8 and 4 had tattoos.
