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.

Gift horse...I'm hopeless at buying presents and always leave it to the last minute on the assumption that something really unique and wonderful will present itself and sayeth to me "Go on. Buy me. I'm a really clever and unique gift for which you will be adored by your family."
Unfortunately this gift never actually materialises, so out of guilt as much as desperation I select a gift that costs me at least five times the amount I had intended to spend.
My wife and daughter both think I'm so thoughtful and generous with gifts, so it all works out okay I guess...
