With ‘a little street cred,’ Martha Stewart selling replica of Nativity set she made during ‘Camp Cupcake’ prison stint

Always on trend, Martha Stewart is trying to cash in on the holiday season.
The diva of domesticity’s suggestion for a last-minute Christmas gift is a replica of a nativity set she made while in prison during the aughts.
She revealed the ceramic Nativity scene in a series of Christmas-themed TikTok videos on her personal account.
“If you’d like to give a really beautiful and special gift this Christmas — with a little street cred — they’re all inspired by, guess what, a set I made when I was confined,” the 80-year-old lifestyle maven said in the video as she displayed her new products for sale.
Stewart shows the bottom of one of her original figurines, which had her inmate number, at one point in the clip.
“These are exact replicas of the Nativity scene I made in pottery class when I was away at camp,” she added.
In 2004, Stewart was convicted on numerous felony charges, including conspiracy and making false statements to investigators looking into the sale of a stock. The Jersey City, N.J., native was nicknamed “M. Diddy” during her five-month bid in a cushy federal prison near Alderson, W.Va. — also known as “Camp Cupcake.”
The new nativity set, which is on sale for$119, consists of 14-pieces glazed in white, including figurines of three camels, two shepherds, two ox, three wise men, an inn keeper, baby Jesus, Joseph and Mary.
In October, Stewart became the latest celebrity to tap into the digital assets and cryptocurrency boom, shilling an eclectic collection of non-fungible tokens, including elaborately designed Halloween pumpkin carvings, and an image of her dressed as a bloody Halloween nurse.
“I see NFTs as a new canvas for creativity and Blockchain as a vehicle to protect artists’ IP (intellectual property) and support their incredible work,” Stewart said about the new venture.
