Even If You Don't Love The Look Of These Beardbaubles, The Background Story Is Great

by N/A, 9 years ago | 2 min read

A staple in the holiday season is decorating the house with various ornaments. It can be the outside of the house with lights. It can be nativity scenes. It can be random little trinkets around the interior of the house. Mostly, it's done on a Christmas tree, and there's no need to explain how that goes. The thing is, all that decorated holiday spirit is left at home when you leave. Well, a British ad agency has changed that with Beardbaublles: ornaments to hang on your beard–for jolly mobility.

Don't be confused, because Beardbaubles look just like any other ordinary ornament, but obviously are original in use.

Aside from the fact these are meant to be hung from a man's flowing facial locks, these ornaments are in remembrance of friends standing up for one another. Mike Kennedy and Pauline Ashford of Grey London (ad agency) had a friend affected by melanoma, and as they explain:

"We ditched our shavers to share Wes’ story with everyone who asked about our beards, and encourage them to have a skin check."

Alright, so here's what this wacky creation looks like. Seem jolly to you? Or, like a nightmare? If you answered in favor of the latter, remember why these things came about.

Really, there's not much more to say: there's ornaments and they hang from beards. Pretty odd, but whatever gets you in the spirit is up to you.

If you missed out on ordering your own set, Beardbaubles provides this quick tutorial for how to make your very own beard ornaments.

The video provides a caption with the essential shopping list, as follows:
