Says you. Unfortuately you are not in charge of programming. And there are three channels to choose from.

Maybe QVC has her on so much because her stuff sells the best. It is all about sales.

We're nowhere near the home stretch yet. If you're tired of Valerie, you'd probably do well to find something else to do as there's a long way to go. She's probably the Qs most popular decoration vendor and many people love her shows and merchandise.

I don't understand your Mally reference. Apparently VPH is a popular vendor. If it really bothers you so much, keep in mind there are other channels you can watch ... just pick up your remote and change the channel.

VPH will never remind me of Mally, who is much more annoying.

Valerie is calm and skilled at selling her various tchotchkes. I don't mind her. Last night, Rick was with her and he made me change the channel. I usually like the pairing, but he was so sky-high it made me uncomfortable.

Why VPH is so popular here, I'll never understand.

I've shopped QVC for 30 years and I've never bought ONE thing of hers.

IMO, she buys cheap carp from China, throws a handful of glitter at it and calls it 'designer'....not even close, IMO.

@lgfan lol As it should be!

Some companies make money other ways - member fees, selling cloud services, selling subscritions to entertainment, etc. That's all bottom line and all about the money, too.

@KingstonsMom Almost everything at QVC is from China.

@proudlyfromNJ

Where it's from is not my biggest problem with her items, it's that they LOOK so cheap and she throws a handful of glitter at everything she sells.

As I posted, that's just my personal opinion, I think a handful of glitter makes anything look 'cheap', nobody has to agree with me.

I'm a fan of both Valerie and Mally, and I have bought items from both. I usually give my friends holiday gifts from Valerie's collection. The one year I baked for them instead they missed their usual "decoration" gifts!

Anyway, instead of insulting vendors and those who actually like what they bring to QVC just don't watch their shows!

I so agree, and it has become worse over the years. Very cheap, but Valerie has the "charm" to sell the stuff.

@beach-mom

I don't watch ANY QVC shows on TV anymore, I check out items, watch videos online.

Not "insulting" the vendor, just giving my own personal opinion of the items she brings and the fact that I don't buy any of them.

Valerie's merch used to be special. I remember getting a wreath of hers for a friends special birthday, and she talks about it to this day. For me her products are ordinary and can be purchased many different places. It's a shame.

So true....just walk into TJMaxx, Ross, etc.

@KingstonsMom "So true....just walk into TJMaxx, Ross, etc."

You can also go to a Michael's or Joanne's and find products. I think the appeal of Valerie is that she is a one stop shopping vendor. Many people don't feel like going to different stores to purchase holiday decorations when they can purchase most of their items at QVC and have them delivered to their homes.

@lgfan

I get it and that's their right to do, if they chose to purchase them!

I'm sure they will enjoy their purchases and hope that they do!

@KingstonsMom , I understand, but shopping on the internet is easy no matter where you shop.

I think people feel like buying the same junk from her that you can buy from Michaels or Hobby Lobby elevates the product and warrants a higher price. It's perceived value and she's got that figured out with her persona and presentations. You're paying for the experience as there is nothing special about her items.
