It's adorable. That said, we all make purchases like this and some call it "retail therapy." You've likely heard of the guy that goes bald, gains weight and buys a brightly colored sports car. It's all about compensation.
Is it useful? Yes. Do you consider it beautiful? Ok perhaps not beautiful but it makes you smile … what other reason do you need. We all need a bit of fun in our daily lives.
Nothing is useless if it makes you smile and happy. This is brilliant either as a useful object or one that makes you and others smile. It's lovely.... Ro xx
I could use one of those for my garden which is full of birds but devoid of a Toucan to date!

I never knew!
I wonder if your furry animals would share their toys! Toucans, though illegal in some countries, seem to be allowed into Wales with a permit. Just saying John. Mary in North Carolina
During the 60s my dad built a bar in our lounge-mum decorated the bamboo partition with plastic ivy growing up to the ceiling-there was lots of pub nicky nacks-I'm sure several guinness toucans adorned the masterpiece x
Returned for a refund?
ReplyDeleteCheeky
DeleteI love it! I myself have an elephant watering can for my indoor plants.
ReplyDeleteI’ve filled it with water and am using it as an ornament
DeleteI would have a hard time... not buying that as well! It's adorable!

Not useless if it makes you smile while performing mundane tasks. It certainly made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI’m using it as a garden sculpture
DeleteWhy is it useless? Does it not have a hole? Anyway, if you like it, that's all that matters. It'll make you smile every time you see it. xx
ReplyDeleteI’m not using it as a watering can, I’m just going to look at it
DeleteYou need one shaped like a cock and balls.
ReplyDeleteNot the best thing for a garden ornament …not with the church next door
DeleteIsn't the church deserted?
DeleteIt is but the cemetery remains busy
DeleteToucans are better than one.
ReplyDeleteBoom boom
DeleteWell, I like it! Why do we never have things like that in our stores??
ReplyDeleteI’ll send you one , give my your address
DeleteIf you don't use it as a watering can it will still make a nice garden ornament.
ReplyDeleteThat’s what it is YP
DeleteLove it.
ReplyDeleteAnd buying shit on impulse is soooooo satisfying!! LOL
XOXO
I love u

ReplyDeleteIt ticked a happy box
DeleteB&Q? £9?
ReplyDeleteWe have one in our back garden, he sits alongside my Puffin!
I've seen them online for £21....eeek! X
Yes B & Q
DeleteYou will find something to do with it.

ReplyDeleteIt's a ripper.
ReplyDeleteMy indoor watering vessel is a gallon milk jug. It works beautifully. I keep it under a table in the laundry room as it is not very attractive.
ReplyDeleteLove it! So colourful and fun!
ReplyDeleteIt's cute! A perfect lawn ornament and I bet it's the only one like it in town. I like how happy it looks!
ReplyDelete'Two can' play at that game; I'd have bought it too!
ReplyDeleteI would 100% buy that. In fact, now I think I need to go down the rabbit hole of googling animal watering cans...
ReplyDeleteQuirky and wonderful!

ReplyDeleteI wonder what the wild birds will make of it 😂
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Not very Welsh, though. :)
ReplyDeleteThink I may head over to B&Q. Thanks for the inspiration, John!
ReplyDeleteLovely addition to your garden John.

Yep, that’s a purchase I couldn’t have resisted either.
ReplyDeleteToucan you can! I would have bought it for the helluva it too!
ReplyDeleteNow if it was a Puffin I would have bought it but Puffin doesn't play on words as the Toucan can, but still... I would have bought it!
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland
Good for you buying something you like the look of. Why shouldn't you. Pearl the puffin.
ReplyDeleteI'd have bought that toucan too. My watering can is a bright yellow elephant. Yours is definitely classier.

ReplyDeleteIt's AWESOME!
