A bit early to be thinking about Christmas presents isn't it? That is what Christmas Eve is for.

Smartass that I am, I've done all my Xmas shopping on line this year - not set foot in a shop at all - which suits me!

Got a digital photo frame for SWMBO amongst other things.

Shinyshack have some good stuff, got all my stocking fillers there. (and a brilliant headlight torch for me).

For kids The Pound Shop. For grown-ups (so called), a sofa as a stocking filler, and something bigger as a main present.

Get your "Samurai" swords while you still can. The (pointless, stupid) ban starts in April.

I take you haven't been threatened by someone wielding one. OTOH, I'm not in favour of banning baseball bats or 4ft metal bars.

[Andy Hall]

But what would you *do* with a Samurai sword, Huge?

[John Rumm]

Well both really... ;-) but mainly the second - for SWMBO etc.

My wife spends a fortune on Toast stuff..gets all teh for sale items, wears them twice, and the sells them on Ebay a year later when no longer available. Often at a profit.

A friend of mine kept her guessing for ages last year - told her he had got her something from Ann Summers. She was not sure what to expect at all. I think she was quite relieved to find all he had got her was an Ann Summers box to put a couple of pairs of jeans in!

What a stupid question. Why does one need to justify ones possessions to some bureaucrat?

Crackerjack Nut Crackers, ideal for the tool freak. I've found that the inevitable bags of Xmas nuts actually get eaten since we've had these, in stead of laughing at the application of pliers and eventually being hurled in the bin the following September.

I always use a Mole Wrench for cracking nuts (and crabs' legs!). You can apply a very large force over a small distance - in order to break the shell without crushing the innards.
