I found the bauble that had been bad in BHS, wandering around their New Year sale a few years ago. This evil little decoration consists of a small gold bauble hanging inside a star-shaped glittery golden cage without ingress or egress made of twisted curling twigs. Initially attracted to it because it was sparkly, I became increasingly obsessed by its more sinister aspect, and eventually hung it in front of a spot light, so I could enjoy its sparkle while interrogating the bauble about the crimes of christmas.
