      Unusual gifts for that unique occasion!
      Just saying like.

      where there's chaos, there's cash !

      I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

          A mate of mine was given a butchery lesson run by the Ginger Pig folks.

          Learn Butchery at The Ginger Pig Butchery Classes | Marylebone, London > Home

          He had a great time and reckoned the value of the product you get to take home was prob worth 50% of the cost.

            My sister (4 yrs my senior) went through a phase of giving me odd Christmas presents; a 10" high, plastic, pipe smoking duck on elastic that made a sort of strangulated gurgling sound when it bounced, an elasticated, fluffy black and white monitor surround, a pair of divining rods, an abacus and lastly, a pair of lozenge shaped magnets called 'Oids'.

            All of which went straight in the bin!

            It was shortly after this that I politely suggested we didn't bother buying each other Christmas presents any more.

              Why? Because she put more effort into choosing a present than you could?

              You rotten bastard, (some)people get a great deal of pleasure out of choosing and giving presents!

                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                    It doesn't take a lot of effort to walk into 'Hawkins Bazzar', point at something and say to yourself, "That'll do". She can still generate as much pleasure as she wants by giving that crap to someone else, it just saves me the bother of binning it on Boxing Day.
