Still, Joel says baubles (and clothespins) are some of his least favourite objects to place in his beard. The oldest baubles she owns are pink and blue ones from the 2000s, which is when she first started collecting them. Each bauble is different; they come from all over the world in a variety of shapes, materials, colours and themes.Also known as “beardaments,” the festive, clip-on facial hair accessories are colourful jingling balls for brightening up bristly faces. The most valuable bauble in Sylvia’s collection is a special edition one made for the Queen’s Golden Anniversary.

Every December, the extraordinary collection was beautifully displayed throughout Sylvia’s house, with baubles hanging from every inch of the ceiling.

It really pulls on my beard. It’s painful to have all those hairs pulling at once. All those baubles add up to about five pounds,” said Joel. Other than your classic Christmas decorations, Nana Baubles' collection counts many unique and quirky items. After that, she started buying baubles in boxes. Soon after, people started gifting her different items. Sylvia began buying big boxes of baubles, and as her collection grew, other people started gifting her more of them.

I think Christmas is a wonderful time to excite the children, so I do believe you should do the best you can for them."Each year, surrounded by the spectacle of her festive baubles, Sylvia always tried her best to make Christmas a special event for her family.
