Twelve Days of Christmas Plates for $135

Oh, I keep forgetting to look at the price first. Maybe lukewarm, at $135.

Unless there are actually 12 of them. Then that would be hot.

Joan A., wait till after Christmas - they definitely won't be $135 then.

And the website says they're unavailable, so it's a moot point.

I like them, but I think I would like them more if they were round or square, not both.

Cute idea, but these are bad...

I really wanted to get these for my mom, who loves this kind of thing and who would actually USE these. But, I couldn't afford them. I do love them though.

Knowing that someday, these will be held up for ridicule as examples of the appalling taste of the '00s gives me fresh hope for the future.

sorry, all! the product was available when i created this post.
i'll dig around and see if they are sold elsewhere, for anyone who finds them hot and affordable.

They are a Rosanna product. rosanna.com and all 12 are available for $96. They are an appetizer plate.

Well, even with the mark-up, it's only $11 a plate, so it's not really all that expensive. And 'tis the season to be tacky. Not what I would do for holiday decor, but far from the worst things I've seen.

Apalling? Hardly.

I am not a fan of the hot or not vote on something so intentionally whimsical and holiday-related.

agree. I think these are perfect for what they are. An appetizer plate intended for a festive holiday party. Hot!

Holiday themes are exempt from the tacky standard? That explains so much.

Not from the tacky standard, no, but I don't see the need to label everything in such a do-or-die way, since taste and holiday decor is so highly personal, and whatever way anyone chooses to express joy and welcome this year is fine by me.

Hot to look at. Not on the wallet.

Over priced and ghastly.

A bit pricy, but I like the collage effect--looks very cool.

My biggest problem with all my christmas stuff is that I can only use them one month out of the year and have to store the entire collection for 11 months.
