Panic BuyingIt's the last shopping day before the whole country shuts down for christmas. You've been looking all over for something, anything, to buy your favourite person. Something that says you care, that makes them see you in a new light.
Well, something that won't make them punch you would do. My brother-in-law once bought his wife a bin for her birthday - it was a very nice bin, but boy was he in the crud for days.
What have you bought in sheer panic and desperation? Go on, you know you do it every year.

Grandma Pickle.Her gifts were always quite strange, particularly since they all seemed to be aimed at very young children. Dolls, jumpers with Micky Mouse on, a bag of beads (?) etc. She also never licked or addressed the envelopes on her cards in case we needed to use them (I have yet to).
The best however was one Christmas when we were presented with... *drumroll*...a toilet roll cover. One of the ones that disguises them as a doll, wearing a bright pink knitted dress and hat. It also smelt like old people.
We had a toilet roll holder. We couldn't even use it if we wanted to. She KNEW this.
Gran, if you're reading this from heaven/hell/wherever, in what way did you think this was suitable present for a 10 year old?
