987 DJ Germaine Tan Has A Labubu Christmas Tree In Her Family Home

At this point, whether you're a fan or not, you would know about the appeal of the Labubu and the extent people would go to just to get their hands on one. 

So we're sure many people will be really jealous when they see 987FM DJ Germaine Tan's Christmas tree.

Recently, the 28-year-old jock shared on her Instagram Stories a photo of the Christmas tree in her family's GCB. She wrote: "My mother's Labubu Christmas tree. I can't, she's so cute."

From the photo, the tree has Labubu plushies, as well as other collectables from Popmart such as the crybaby dolls, hanging from its branches.

Next to the tree is a large Angel in Clouds Zimomo doll.

When 8days.sg reached out to Germaine, she reveals that the tree has about 10 Labubus, which her mum bought at S$50 each.

The highly sought-after elf character toys used to cost S$24.90 for a blind box.

Meanwhile, her mum paid S$500 for the Angel in Clouds Zimomo, which retails at S$299.

Germaine no longer lives at her family. Instead, she's staying with her Zouk Group CEO boyfriend Andrew Li, 40. It explains why she had no idea about her mum's Labubu obsession.

Until she went home one day and her mum suddenly asked: "Do you want Labubu?”

"Turns out she had bought three full sets of Labubu and was so excited to show them to me," Germaine tells us. 

She also didn't know how pricey the dolls are until netizens started reacting to her IGS. 

"When [my mum] sent me a photo of the tree, I was like "Wow". I posted a photo of it and everyone kept replying “expensive Christmas tree”. That was when I found out how much Labubus cost," recalls Germaine, who thought the Labubus cost about "$10 max". 

According to Germaine, her mum had more Labubus but gave a lot of them away.

"She even let me choose two of my favourite ones to take. Of course I chose the pink “Have a seat” one. I think its name is Dada," she chuckles. 

But even after all that, she still doesn't get what the hype is all about. 

"I appreciate it because it’s sentimental and a gift from my mum, but I can’t say I fully understand standing in line for hours to buy a Labubu or paying high prices on the resale market for them," says Germaine.

"I just think another trend will come into play just as soon as this one stops," she adds.
