Home Bargains has unveiled a new Christmas decoration that bears a striking resemblance to a pricier version from another brand. The budget-friendly retailer is now selling a light-up paper snowman decoration for just £7.99.
The Nordic Spirit Light Up Paper Snowman Decoration looks remarkably similar to a style from homeware brand The Worm That Turned, but at a fraction of the price. Customers can pick up the Home Bargains version for less than £8, while the Honeycomb Light Up Snowman Decoration from The Worm That Turned is priced at £42.95 online.
Both decorations share a paper design, structured body and classic snowman silhouette. They are also both battery operated with a light-up feature and built-in timer functions.
However, The Worm That Turned’s version stands slightly taller than the one from Home Bargains. It also features magnetic clips to hold the concertinaed paper in place.
The product description for the Home Bargains item reads: “Create a warm, Scandinavian inspired Christmas atmosphere with the Nordic Spirit Light Up Paper Snowman Decoration. This elegant paper snowman stands at approximately 50 x 30cm, making it a beautiful centrepiece for your festive decoration.
