Dyed flowers & foliage
It's everywhere in the xmas ranges. Dyed gold/silver euco, bear grass etc, glittered wax, glittered roses (
 ) etc. Should I just get over my snobbery and buy it? What do folks think of it? Does it actually add a bit of festive cheer? Do you use it or not?

Some stuff I'll use, some I won't for the same snobby reasons as you. I think if it's used in the right way it does look nice though, although I dread this time of year as I'll now be covered in glitter until the end of January when I finallly get rid of it all.
I do wonder what kind of mess it can create for your customer though, esp the dyed stuff.

I actually quite like it.
I always buy the white glittered brassicas, and dare i say it, bought some glittered gyp last year, even though i hate gyp, but it sold out within a day, usually ive still got half of it left 2 weeks later. Got some glittered red, gold and silver thistle last year, everyone loved that.

glittered brassicas?! not seen them. I sometimes buy the glittered gyp for our other shop and it does sell well.
Forgot about the thistle - I normally get that in black glitter or white glitter. It's when you get to the blues that I worry.

Think its nice to see that stuff after now, the quiet times, and miserable dark nights, for the next month or so

We buy dyed oak leaves.. the black ones.
Never bought the glittery stuff or dyed roses etc.. but we did buy the waxed rose, and they sold quite well.

i like all the sparkley glittered stuff even gyp, just don't like putting gyp in anything, which is a bit besides the point! I love the frosty glittered thistle..I'm going to do more of my own glittered stuff this xmas cos its soo expensive to buy glittered things
no keen on the gold and silver stuff though..I've got autumn grevillea and euc in this week, its quite pretty
