Hallmark Ornament Purchasers Surprised by Separate Power Cord Requirement
A recent social media video has brought attention to a surprising detail regarding Hallmark's popular Keepsake Ornaments. A consumer, identified by their online handle Urhomiejess, shared their frustration after purchasing a Kermit the Frog ornament that sings "Rainbow Connection." Upon reaching the checkout, they were informed that the ornament, unlike many previous models, requires a separate "Keepsake Power Cord," which incurs an additional cost of $19. "Am I a moron to think that Hallmark ornaments just worked on battery?" the consumer questioned in their video, expressing disbelief that such a crucial component was not included with the ornament itself. They highlighted the inconvenience of needing to purchase an extra item for a product that many might assume is ready to use out of the box. The video quickly gained traction, with many commenters sharing similar experiences and expressing solidarity with the consumer's unexpected expense.
