      I'm rather hoping she appreciates the pack of "luxury" mince pies I've just bought in the local Co-Op.

        Nothing yet. No ideas for the first time.

        Budget for this year is a mighty £15, so need to choose wisely.

          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            I doubt that's a problem. There can't be a kid in the land that hasn't wondered why the shop catalogues and TV adverts constantly advertise "stocking fillers", if Santa was supposed to do that.

            The vegetarian option.

              Perhaps she will spontaneously reward you with a swift kick to the knackers (if you're into that sort of thing)?

              As to the OP, I dunno yet.

                I might adorn her with it whilst she sleeps, make it more of a surprise when she wakes up.

                  I'm sure she'll love it.
