Is the demand for novelties that big?!! I've considered buying those with glued on ornamentation a couple of times. I wanted the actual plant that was being tortured. They use some neat looking cacti. I've also seen them left at the store after the doodad has fallen off or grown off or been knocked off however. The glue spot does leave marring where it's applied. Not a huge scar, but definitely an unnecessary blemish. I suppose I might try a painted plant if it looked it might be a semp or something hiding under the paint and one I wanted and didn't already have and chance that it would eventually grow back to normal. I think I am probably pretty safe from dyed jobs and glitter. No corner lights out here in the boonies :).
