Woman 'unexpectedly' finds 'Ozempic jabs' during Selfridges trip

Selfridges has divided the internet with some of its latest quirky tree ornaments. The luxury British department store has recently introduced its range of alternatives to baubles, allowing people to really add some personality to their homes this December.

But some feel that a few items might be best kept off the Christmas tree this year, with one shopper asking: "Who thought this was a good idea?" It comes as Alanis Cooper, 24, says she was browsing in her local Selfridges for a Christmas bauble when she spotted the unusual decorations.

The 24-year-old had to share the experience on TikTok. She uploaded the clip to TikTok, where it has already received more than 73,000 views.

In it, she starts with the bizarre discovery of injectable-shaped decorations, one of which had the word 'Ozempic' on the side. Another sparkly 'syringe' had the word 'fillers' written on it. Each of the decorations costs £28.

Alanis, from Hillingdon in West London, said: "It was just so funny and random to come across. I had come in on my lunch break to get my annual Selfridges bauble, as I'm growing my own little collection, but I wasn’t expecting to see filler and weight-loss jab baubles!"

She added: "I didn’t end up getting one, but it did make me laugh." The reactions were mainly positive, with comments reading: "Immediately need" and "I'm gonna need one of those". Selfridges has been approached for comment.

Someone put: "You know Shein will be selling this for £2.99!" Another wrote: "What on earth. Who thought this was a good idea?"

In a separate video taken on the same day, Alanis spotted some less controversial baubles, such as one shaped like Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, and members of the Royal Family. For those not wanting people-related decorations, the store also had bold choices like matcha, cupcakes, milkshakes, burgers, and ice cream.

What is Ozempic?

Ozempic is a medication for the management of type 2 diabetes. According to Diabetes UK, the drug can help manage blood sugar levels. It can be taken alone or with other diabetes medications, such as metformin, sulphonylureas, or insulin. Ozempic is a prescription-only medicine that you would need to get from your GP, hospital specialist or a licensed online pharmacy

Some people may lose weight when they take Ozempic as part of their type 2 diabetes treatment. This is because this drug slows down how quickly food is digested and can reduce your appetite, so you eat less.
