personally, i like CB2 if only because I am obsessed with having the right glassware/serving pieces for the occasion and their stuff is decent and CHEAP for that.

If I was making this a hipster tree, I would first string PBR can tabs together to make something like tinsel. Then for the ornaments, I would hang CDs of bands that I used to like until they became “popular” or “mainstream” and then I clearly couldn’t listen to them again because it wasn’t hipster-y enough. I would top the tree off with an ironic trucker hat.

I think this is what pipe cleaners dream of being when they’re all growns up

I’m going to decorate mine with PBR cans and my plumber’s school diploma

I would decorate it with my unemployment benefits.

No need of a shirt here, but I’d say some brightly-patterned toilet paper would be the perfect trim.

It looks more like a giant mascara brush to me. I’d go to rickys and decorate it with drag approved makeup

It’s totally an oversized toilet brush! That’s awesome. I really want the t-shirt, but I can’t think of anything appropriately clever to trim with.

If I had to, I’ve probably end up stringing chili pepper lights on it. I’d want to just scrub under the fridge with it, but then it would be stained and sad.

Great find.
