A shop selling personalised, explicitly fictional paperwork excusing someone from festive obligations.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-07 issue.
For
Gift buyers shopping for festive grumblers
Worth noticing
The fictional “Festive Exemptions Act” is explicitly said not to exist, and each certificate is marked as unofficial.

Field notes

The order options range from a posted A4 print and greeting card to a phone pass, with UK postage included in the listed prices. The sample paperwork gives the recipient a case number, a validity period and an officer’s note, then undercuts its own mock authority by stating that the Act cited on the form does not exist.
