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.

my friend...a friend of mine decided he didnt like wrapping presents, so decided it would be a lot easier to wrap everything in tin foil instead of wrapping paper
i thought it was a brilliant idea, and his tree looked amusing, with normal presents sitting at the bottom with a sprinkling of tin foil creations amongst them
his mum was slightly annoyed that he used every last bit of tin foil in the house
the next year i attempted to wrap the unwrappable present, using some plasticey paper that i found which is impossible to rip, and most of a roll of sellotape covering every exposed seam
the plan fell apart when he got the end of a bit of sellotape, yanked it and my huge tape network fell apart
our presents rock too, usually a mix of the amusing (to us at least, usually result in odd looks from teh parents) and the cool, one year being a metallica tshirt from when he got to see them down in london (the cool) and a drinks coaster with one of the giant norse godess people from opera, which now sits proudly displayed on my desk (the show aint over till the fat lady sings)
