I bought this Tree Buddees Space Man Billionaire Businessman ornament purely as a gag, and it delivered exactly what I hoped for. The moment it came out of the box, it got the laugh I was aiming for.
The businessman looks just enough like the real life inspiration that everyone gets the joke right away, especially with the futuristic truck and rocket strapped to the top. It is a clever little parody that feels very on point and nicely topical without beating you over the head.
Quality wise, it is sturdy and well made. It does not feel fragile or flimsy, which is important when it is being hung, bumped, and handled during decorating. The paint and details are clear, and it stands out on the tree in a good way.
This ornament is a perfect fit for our more irreverent, fun Christmas tree. We have a “serious” main tree, and then a second tree that gets all the weird, funny, and offbeat ornaments. This one fits right in on that tree and instantly became a favorite.
For the price, I think it is a great value. You get a unique design, solid construction, and a built in conversation starter. I also really like that Tree Buddees has a whole line of parody and topical ornaments, so you can build a little collection over time.
If you have a sense of humor about current events, or you know someone who does, this is a fun little ornament to add to the tree. Great as a gag gift, a stocking stuffer, or just a way to sneak a little satire into your holiday decor.
