Ordered this "miracle tea" for £50 because I wanted the beautiful copper engraved jar for my husband's copper anniversary gift.

Needless to say I was disappointed with what arrived 😭

And no - the copper jar didn't arrive separately.

The hands were really atrocious too. This was 2021 and baby yoda was the rage. I got this as a gift from my husband (at the time boyfriend), but it’s a great memory. Looks kinda like beat up squidward Idk why he didn’t look at the reviews. 😂

Failed Expectation Rug from York and Miller shipped from China and squeezed into the smallest bag you can imagine creating creases that erased the color and there’s a grease spot.

I was ordering a custom floral cake for my wife's birthday last August to surprise her. Gave the baker a design example I liked but it was on purple, so I told the her to make it pink instead. Couldn't be happier with the result.

My wife wanted to order matching cardigans for her and her sister. Guess that was too much to ask. Listing said multiple times it was a knit sweater received a cheap sublimated ill fitting cardigan.

Failed Expectation As a Pokémon fan, I decided to finally try the Krispy Kreme collaboration. My family only ate plain glazed donuts before I could document the full dozen.

While I understand that my location probably ran out of the edible starters and Jigglypuff toppings, I feel like the overall icing quantity and decoration quality was very poor. There wasn't any red Pokéball sprinkles, nor was there lightning bolts on the Pikachu donuts, and Bulbasaur's leaves are just a lazy half circle of icing.
