Are Christmas fairs now full of snowman soup, snowman poo, pots of gold etc?

When I started coming on here the things people made (I did some too) seemed really unique and most people I know had never seen anything like them. Now days everywhere I go on the net be it random message boards, Facebook or blogs there's people making and selling reindeer/snowman poo, hot chocolate stirrers, flannel reindeer and cupcakes, sweets in items the wrapped in cello. I am unable to go out but I wondered if craft and Christmas fairs are all full of this stuff or if its just online it seems common. :xmastree:

    From my experience this year at the christmas market out of 50+ stalls only one sells homemade crafts and even she doesnt have the reindeer poo etc just little favours etc for christmas. Ive yet to see anything like that this year other than what Ive seen on this forum, was expecting to see more but not so far.
