Exploring the “Hipster Nativity” Set
The Hipster Nativity Set features seven-inch, hand-painted figurines, including segway-riding Wisemen with Amazon Prime packages in tow; a man bun-wearing, selfie-taking Joseph, with Mary, Starbucks cup in hand, doing a duck face with Jesus, lying in a manger wearing his handmade beanie.
There is also an organic cow eating gluten-free feed, in addition to a sheep donning a Christmas sweater and a shepherd documenting the whole thing on his iPhone—complete with hashtags.
According to the product description, the stable “may not be the Ritz Carlton, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have some cool amenities. Actually, all it has is a solar powered roof, but at least they’re helping to solve global warming.” Now all that’s missing is a GoPro to capture those sweet solar panels on the roof of the stable and maybe a vintage Polaroid camera for good measure.
The set costs $129 and is available in limited quantities.
