my sister
when she was very small, wanted to give everyone in the family christmas presents that she had chosen and wrapped up herself. Sadly, being young and stupid, she was unaware of the concept of money or shopping, so we each got something we already owned that she had half-inched from us prior to Christmas day. Dad got one of his slipper, mum got a rolling pin, and I got a Puddle Lane book that I'd already written 'This book belongs to vitamin c' in.

I've got her a special teapot this year (from a company called teapots to talk about) - it's got Scottish and Dutch flags painted on it, and 'time for tea' and 'fancy a cuppa' written in english and dutch on the sides - she lives in the Netherlands with her other half. As presents go, it's a damn site better than a single slipper.
