Home Bargains 'cursed' Peppa Pig Easter Egg leaves shoppers divided

Shoppers are rushing to discount retailer Home Bargains after a creative Easter toy has gone viral.

One Home Bargains shopper shared their latest find on Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains. She showcased an Easter egg shaped toy containing parts of popular children's programme, Peppa Pig.

"Stuff your own Peppa Pig" egg contains fabric of their 'outer body', bag of stuffing and instructions.

With Peppa Pig contained in a clear egg, it could be the perfect gift for Easter - and if Home Bargain's have sold out, eagle-eyed shoppers have also spotted the crafty toy in The Works.

The posted quickly gathered 1.3k comments with hundreds of shoppers tagging their family and friends, asking them to pop into Home Bargains as soon as possible.

However not all were excited by the find. With poor Peppa Pig squished into a plastic egg and staring out in desperation, some might find it a bit 'haunting'.

One said. "Am I the only one who doesn't get this? It's honestly so cursed."

One called it 'cursed'. (The Works)

"I saw this earlier but then realised I would be the one ending up making it", Claire added.

Meanwhile others admitted they will be rushing to Home Bargains to pick up Peppa Pig.

"Gonna look for this tomorrow!", Sammie wrote.

"Definitely buying this!" Dannie added.

And for Paw Patrol fans, one shopper pointed out: "The works also have them but there a £1 more for the Paw Patrol ones."

Another confused shopper asked: "We have the characters to stuff. Is this just stuffing?"

"That’s looks brilliant we will have to go and have a look," Lesley added.
