With a clear wrapper, a plastic shell, and layers of packaging inside, one of this year's most popular children's Christmas gifts has been labelled the "toy of your capitalist nightmares".
The LOL Surprise toy contains seven layers of wrapping containing surprises like stickers and charms and a brightly coloured doll, of which there are nearly 80 to collect.
Their popularity stems from the bizarre online craze of "unboxing", which involves people filming themselves opening presents or pristine packaged goods and then posting the video online.
YouTube videos of little girls opening LOL Surprise toys to reveal which doll is inside have attracted millions of views.
