Dutchies embrace sex toys and tompouce decor on Christmas trees this year

'Tis the season!

Yes, yes… that’s the spot! (For you to pop a whimsical Christmas decoration on your tree this year.)

With weird Christmas ornaments popping up right, left, and centre, RTL Nieuws interviewed blogger Saskia de Laat to get her thoughts on the trend.

According to de Laat, ’tis the season for “unusual ornaments” — and nothing’s off the table. These ornaments can be anything from a vibrator, a tompouce, or even the odd suitcase or two.

Oké, where can I get my hands on some quirky Dutch decorations?

When it comes to dreaming up unusual Christmas baubles, no business has more heartily embraced the trend than HEMA.

For the more understated ornament enthusiast, HEMA’s tompouce Christmas bauble looks good enough to eat. (Or, well… good enough not to send someone’s grandmother into a long-winded rant about “kids these days”. 😉)
