Hell no. I don’t think any of these insta huns buy clothes from Amazon. Some of the shite they pretend they do. As ifAlso they’ve just put up a video full of crap from amazon.....then Sam gets a question about her coat from the weekend and it’s old from Zara.
Let’s be honest they do not buy their clothes from amazon
Does anyone buy clothes from amazon - it’s just the most random ad they could do.Hell no. I don’t think any of these insta huns buy clothes from Amazon. Some of the shite they pretend they do. As if
also shows they literally give zero fucks about the brands they promote. all non essential stores closed, they could promote some great small boutiques or even John Lewis who they/us their viewers actually want to buy clothes from, not amazon who have done nothing but profit from the pandemic

Of course Amazon are paying them to promote. The amount of clothing on Amazon has exploded in recent months and I have seen sooo many influencers paid to promote it.

Its disgusting how much the mega rich have profited from the pandemic - Amazon are one of the worst. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-55793575
The 10 richest men in the world could have paid to vaccinate EVERYBODY on the planet, just from the increase in wealth they gained as a direct result of the pandemic. They could do that and still be as rich afterwards as they were before Covid19 happened.

Yep and the influencers working on behalf of these rich men (i.e. shilling cheap Chinese made clothes sold on Amazon) would probably say they need to work to get paid... except they don't because the vast majority of them have extremely well paid husbands
Definitely read here thenI noticed they made sure to show the Wagamama receipt
I have always liked TIM but now finding the stuff they suggest/promote is just sooo expensive for any ‘normal’ people. Especially in a pandemic where some people haven’t worked in a year 
Lounge sets for £125 
the thermomix is starting to drive me insane! Ooh look at this £1500 piece of equipment I have, it’s so good get one
Also the tours of the guest bedrooms the links for the items in there! The cost of some for a spare room was eye watering. I get some people have money and have Worked for it etc but in the current economical climate it all feels very insensitive. I get that Sam had a good job and her Husband clearly has a good job but no need to flaunt it all. Just finding it tasteless at the moment.
wish they had more relatable products not spending £80 on cream and £125 on a tracksuit
They also go on about only buying what you need to be more sustainable yet everyday they have different coats I mean how many can one person have?!

im sure one of them was trying to reduce plastic so bought lots of new storage, that isn’t eco conscious. If this was an angle they wanted to promote it should have been about reusing what they had. But hey, you don’t make any money from that - they need those swipe ups
I agree and it’s one of the reasons I’m here.I have always liked TIM but now finding the stuff they suggest/promote is just sooo expensive for any ‘normal’ people. Especially in a pandemic where some people haven’t worked in a year

I don’t think they’re reading the room and I think they’re struggling for content without the events and holidays to fill up their feed. They’ve also moved away from the mothership/parenting angle which seems odd and I would imagine most of their followers were looking for an all round, mum like them, type idea in their page but now they’re just a shopping channel, doing ads for brands that clearly make them the most money and taking every gifted item they’re offered.
I agree with you though, most of what they advertise is very expensive and out of reach for most people, especially at the moment with job insecurity so high for many people.

Yes the guest room tours! Imagine having a room in your house big enough to convert part of it into a bathroom (bigger than my only bathroom tbh) and still have enough room for a decent sized bed and furniture, PLUS having rooms for you and each of your kids that are probably even bigger? Who wants to see that in a pandemic? I earn well and have been employed throughout, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I found Sams tour so ridiculous! I thought it was her bedroom
bigger than all the bedrooms in most houses and like You say a massive bathroom to go with it I don’t begrudge people having lovely houses that they’ve worked for but timing is everything! The pandemic should have shown them that but it feels as if the only complaint they have is they can’t do their normal shopping and their Kids are at Home after lockdown last year I remember seeing their kids going to nursery and the older ones able to go to school clubs. When sooo many others couldn’t get kids to nursery or school as it wasn’t on. Myself included but I had to be back at work. The moaning they did really got to me! Oh poor me one child is at nursery and its Sooo hard to write my blog from home
I messaged them when they went on that ski trip that was completely free and all their clothes too. I said it’s just not relatable plugging this resort etc when they paid nothing for it... it’s actually mental that people are being paid to go on holiday to make you or I want to book... and pay... like what.
and spot on to someone further up, I loved their parenting content, really enjoyed the tips and hacks (I tried the pillow on a plane tip but we were traveling round Thailand and I really resenting that f’ing pillow in the end
.
Gemma started reading the criticism here clearly that all she does is moan about her children and that’s why the kids aren’t featured as much as more

I remember her saying she didn’t feature her kids as much because she got so much hate and threats after that bullying thing and it made her not want to share all her life
But yes I agree it just feels like a big unrelatable shopping channel now and all the parenting stuff that I found helpful at the start has gone out the window. But I guess that happens naturally your kids get older you don’t want to talk about babies anymore

So after us talking about how expensive everything is that they promote, they’ve done two high street edits for clothes and make up. Read here much?
yep I noticed that! If they just did a bit of high end and high Street that would be good. I’m not saying they need to be showing cheap stuff all the time. As I do get that sometimes more expensive can last longer but I couldn’t justify some of the prices.
Not when I have 2 children and bills To pay

The amazon clothes are an odd deviation for them. I’m guessing it’s because they know once you swipe up they get the affiliate links until you clear you cookies and there’s a lot of us shopping on amazon out of necessity at the moment. It’s a very distasteful way of making money as it means they’re not recommending based on honesty at all. Yes, they may like some of the clothes but given the choice (which they have due to their incomes) they definitely wouldn’t shop at Amazon over high end clothing stores. I find it very sad as some of their content is fab, but the amazon stuff spoils their credibility.
I totally agree and isn’t Amazon’s affiliate links for 90 days...? So anytime you shop in there within 90 days after swiping up, they’ll receive a commission.
Like you say, distasteful, dishonest and taking the rip out of people who either don’t know how affiliate links work or those who are feeling down/vulnerable (especially at the moment) and feeling like they’re failing if they don’t have the latest stuff.
I also agree with the mix of high end and high street - I too am more high street with 4 kids to feed
but others will be able to afford the high end items. I also noticed how they wore their own “brand” tracksuit only when they had stock to sell. Surely if they loved it so much and we’re so proud of it they’d be wearing it all the time. But because they’re out of stock they’re not, they’ll be in them everyday when there’s more stock to buy. The epitome of greedy.
