Daughter roasts mum for ‘falling victim to Temu’ as she shows off dramatic ‘cheap & trashy’ Christmas themed bathroom
A WOMAN has roasted her own mother online for “falling victim to Temu” as she showed off her mum’s over the top bathroom Christmas decorations in a viral video.
Now that December is in full swing, many of us will have gone all out, decking the halls with Christmas lights, baubles and maybe a Gonk or two.
Many people love to use the festive period as a chance to completely re-decorate their homes, with festive cushions, duvet covers and even Christmas crockery.
However, one woman who was not impressed by her mum’s choice of décor was Ana Bazant who took to TikTok to shame her mother’s bathroom decorations.
Sharing a clip of herself looking very unimpressed, Ana said: “Unfortunately my mum has fallen victim to Temu.”
Ana then panned the camera around to show off her mother’s bathroom, which was almost completely covered in matching snowman decorations.
On the floor, were two bathmats, featuring a duo of sweet snowmen, embracing and wearing matching pink hat and scarf sets.
Baubles hung from trees in the snowy background, and a selection of pink presents were scattered across the floor.
Ana’s mum’s toilet seat was also pattered with the same design, as was her huge shower curtain.
For anyone keen to re-create this look themselves, you can nab the whole set from Temu for just £17.
Ana’s (@frick_my_pea_puffs) video has gone viral, racking up a whopping 13 million views on the video sharing platform.
TikTok users raced to the video’s comments section to share their thoughts, with many also roasting the mum for her choice of decor.
One person joked: “Wishing your mum a fast recovery.”
A second person said: “What in the AI hell is this?”
A third person added: “No, no, no, no take her phone away!”
However, others rushed to defend the mum’s design choice.
Why is Temu so cheap?
TEMU exploded onto the scene in late 2022, with people all over social media raving about the low prices.
The company is a Chinese-owned digital marketplace – essentially an online shopping app where people are connected to the retailer directly while the app takes care of the shipping element.
The frenzy over the app is not completely unfounded either as it offers a wide variety of products, including fashion, make-up, electronics and furniture.
According to a report from the US House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, Temu takes advantage of a trade loophole that allows the company to ship duty-free goods directly to the US.
The loophole is called the de minimis exception and it means they can ship goods valued up to $800 (£643) to the US without it being inspected or taxed by US customs.
Temu connects customers directly to manufacturers and only manages how the items are sent to customers.
It means Chinese vendors can essentially sell their products directly to customers and ship it without building a network of warehouses across the globe.
By doing this, they cut down on huge costs and ensure the product itself isn’t marked up extra.
While many of the products seen on the Temu app are from brands with extensive, original collections, many more are dupes of designer brands.
One person said: “It’s so tacky, but so cute.”
A second person said: “Leave us Temu mums alone.
“We’re living our childhood dreams.”
A third person said: “Victim? That is super cute.”
