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.

I'm luckyAmong my friends it is the custom to give bizarre birthday gifts, such as tins of soup and tiny toy motorbikes.
I myself have in the past presented friends with street chalk and a piggy bank shaped like a huge yellow chick.
Not to mention the humongous "golden box" presented to my best friend, which was filled with: a tin of peas, a ragdoll,
a disco crocodile figurine, a toothpick, a signed photograph of myself,
some cat toys, a customized Flash Space Invaders (with my head as one of the enemy ships),
a yodeling record, a huge origami swan,
a toothbrush, a pair of shiny golden trousers (which look great on her by the way),
some charcoal (the drawing kind),
a pair of cardboard rabbit ears to make it look as if a rabbit lived on her windowsill,
a litre of yoghurt, some mints, and coupons for free leadership of the moon, eternal glory, and my terrible haircut.
no apologies for length - you love it
