It’s been more than half a year since that fox trotted past a bus stop in the epic finale of Fleabag, but that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped talking about foxes or hot priests. Will we ever?
The ubiquitous moment Andrew Scott’s sexy priest asked Phoebe Waller-Bridge to kneel was in a church. That’s a link to Christmas right there, isn’t it? However dubious the connection, get some festive Fleabag in your life this Christmas.
Obviously there’s the book ‘Fleabag: The Scriptures’, which came out earlier this year and should be lining stockings across the UK. But there are plenty of other gifts to give.
Fleabag Gin Tin Decoration, And Tied With A Bow, Etsy, £5
Without these hanging from your tree, how will any visiting friends and family know you watched Fleabag season two this year? The chime of G&T cans clinking will get you feeling festive.
Which Way’d The Priest Go Greeting Card, Curious Pancake, via Etsy, £3
This cheekily illustrated greetings card is a meditation on the ambiguous Fleabag denouement. It comes on luxurious cardboard with a plain brown envelope. The artist can include a handwritten note and send it straight to the recipient, if you’re sending your Christmas cards out late.
Poster Print of Phoebe Waller Bridge as Fleabag, Matt Hemming Studio, Etsy, £7.50
If you’ve missed this face, why not invest in a poster of PWB giving a bit of classic Fleabag side-eye? It comes printed on smooth, silk-finished, heavyweight paper in A3, A4, A5 or even bigger. Those eyes!
Fleabag: Phoebe-Waller Bridge Christmas Jumper, NotJust, £39.99
Needing no introduction, Fleabag and Christmas are two of our favourite things, so when you bring them both together, what’s not to love? You better believe we’ll be wearing this at every opportunity.
Fleabag and Clare Mug, Emma Scutt Art, Etsy, £12
If you’d run through an airport for your sister (or another Fleabag-loving pal), why not share a cuppa with these Fleabag and Claire mugs. The drawings are based on original watercolour and Clare’s features the famous “pencil” hairdo.
Fleabag Original Portrait, Sarahasart, Etsy, £240
This fabulous and classy portrait of PWB was done with marker pens on torn brown paper and features lines from the opening scene of the show in the background. “Drink a bottle of wine, get in the shower, shave everything…”
Fleabag Earrings, Dolly Loves Dallas, Etsy, £16.50
Forget shiny baubles. Nothing says Christmas spirit better than earrings featuring a sobbing woman’s face. These handmade 3.5cm x 3.5cm danglies are made of plastic, while the fish hooks earrings are gold-plated (if you’d prefer silver-plated, let the seller know.)
Either She Got Her Period Or Some Serious Stuff Has Gone Down Fleabag Greeting Card, The Fuzzy Bee Paper Co, Etsy, £3.50
Not a fan of traditional Christmas cards? Instead, send loved ones an unbridled reference to the menstrual cycle. The card, which features PWB wearing her sister’s red cashmere jumper, is blank inside for your own heartfelt festive message.
Fleabag Unisex Tank Top, Fascist Panties LTD, via Etsy, £21
Counter-balance the festive cheer this Christmas with a tank top displaying PWB’s abject misery — and impressively smudged mascara. This unisex top is made from 100% combed and ringspun cotton and is available from XS to XXL.
Fleabag Mug, Fascist Panties LTD, Etsy, £8.99
Not one for a vest top? Try this dramatic mug with Fleabag’s same mascara-lined expression (Claire also features). It has a capacity for 330ml of tea (or gin) depending on how your Christmas morning goes. Dishwasher and microwave safe.
Hot Priest Mug, Emma Scutt Art, Etsy, £12
Wouldn’t you be happy knowing someone you love is sipping tea straight from a china mug with the hot priest on it? Kneel.
Fleabag Bunting, Dolly Loves Dallas, Etsy, £13.50
Tinsel just won’t cut it this year. And a Christmas party just isn’t a party without PWB’s mascara-stained face hung ten times in a row across the room.
I Look Like A Pencil Greeting Card, The Fuzzy Bee Paper Co, Etsy, £3.50
The perfect gift for anybody who knows that hair is everything. Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good haircut.
