I thought I'd got a great bargain with my £5.70 bow baby shower decoration from Temu – but I was stunned by what arrived
Diana immediately saw the humour in the situation... BOW DOWN I thought I'd got a great bargain with my £5.70 bow baby shower decoration from Temu – but I was stunned by what arrived PREGNANCY is a whirlwind of planning, nesting, and excitement. Every detail matters, from the perfect nursery theme to the decorations for a baby shower. 4 Diana Huynh was left baffled after purchasing a Temu baby shower item Credit: Jam Press/@diariesofdiana 4 She believed that she was ordering a bow off the website Credit: Jam Press/Temu But for one mum-to-be, the hunt for the perfect door bow turned into an unexpected and hilarious reality check. Diana Huynh, a 37-year-old from Toronto, was scrolling through Temu, the popular online marketplace known for its ultra-low prices. She found what she thought was the ideal baby shower decoration: a charming, three-dimensional door bow. Priced at just under £6, it seemed like a steal. She clicked "add to basket," envisioning the perfect, elegant welcome for her guests. But when the package arrived, the excitement quickly turned to confusion. Instead of the plush, fabric bow she imagined, Diana found a flat, folded piece of polyester. As she unfolded it, the image on the fabric became clear: a full-sized, printed picture of a door with a bow on it. The tiny holes in the corners confirmed her suspicion - this wasn't a bow at all, but a hanging banner with a picture of a bow on it. Diana immediately saw the humour in the situation. I thought I'd bagged a bargain bookshelf on Temu but I was not prepared for what turned up "It honestly looked very convincing," she told What's The Jam. While she'd noticed the hanging holes, she'd genuinely believed they were for hanging a physical bow on her door. It was a classic "lost in translation" moment, and she couldn't help but laugh. Her friends and family were just as amused. The story quickly made its way to TikTok, where it went viral, racking up over 77,000 likes. The comments section was filled with a mix of shared experiences and playful teasing. 4 It's description described it as a door cover and door banner Credit: Jam Press 4 However, she was left confused after something else arrived Credit: Jam Press/@diariesofdiana Some pointed out the fine print, while others had their own "Temu tales" of unexpected deliveries. "Girl, it's Temu… what did u expect…?" one user wrote, a common sentiment among online shoppers familiar with the site's unpredictable offerings. Despite the mix-up - and the fact that the banner was ultimately chucked after the baby shower - Diana hasn't been deterred from using the site again. A spokesman for Temu said: 'We had already removed the item from our platform prior to your message, as part of our ongoing monitoring efforts. "We require all sellers to ensure their products accurately match the descriptions in their listings. 'Customers are covered by our 90-day money-back guarantee for items that are not as described. "Our customer service team is available 24/7 to help with any post-sale concerns.'
