A couple of entrepreneurs looking to make a quick buck have started selling twigs online, marketing them as “perfect snowman arms” and asking up to $50 per pair. Apart from the snow itself, you can buy pretty much any snowman-related item online, from the hat and carrot nose to the coal eyes and buttons. Wooden twigs as arms have been particularly popular, with sellers asking anywhere from $5 a pair to a whopping $50 a pair. Marketed as long-lasting, strong, reliable and unique — like snowflakes in winter — the wooden snowman arms are said to be the perfect purchase this holiday season. If you’re trying to make sense of the pricing for snowman arms, don’t waste your time. The $50 offer is the most expensive so far, and even though the “arms” look particularly flimsy, there are probably some folks out there who would pay even more.
