    My brothers and parents and in-laws are all asking what I want for Christmas, and I can’t think of a single thing.
    I had my birthday last week, and got some nice whiskys, a panettone, some chutnies and hat / gloves / wellies.

    Just can’t think that I want anything else.

    Anyone got any super smashing ideas that I might like? Less than £30 bracket. I like cooking / camping / walking / rugby but am severely lacking in imagination.

    In fact, we could let this thread be the repository of cool Christmas present ideas for all to share (if there isn’t one already).

    fleshlight. As you have everything, why not ask them to donate to a charity of your choice. Or maybe get more whisky. From what I read on here a big collection of expensive whisky is important.

    get something fun like a Grizzly Bear suit. then you can put the heating off and just dress like a bear and mooch about the house making cups of tea, perusing interwebs, etc. I reckon even the psychological impact of Dressing Like a Bear will up your core temperature a degree or two. I know this shit cos I watch Channel 5. They may not have made a factual programme about this yet, it’s just a matter of time though. Dressing like a bear will be the new thing after the mayan apocalyse.

    A bonzai tree, a tiny axe and miniature sawmill. You can then make your own matchsticks and use them to build a working model of tower bridge

    That’s a bit more serious Yunki, I think you have to graduate from the fun comedy suit to the proper A1 Grizzly suit over a few winters. Got to quit your job and do a bit of hibernating to get to that level of grizzlyness. Or get made redudndant. How many grown men, that have been made redundant are now sat at home in a full serious grizzly outfit? There should be stats and charts in The Guardian at least…

    **** your shit I’m in a bear suit

    I’m going to start peering into peoples houses at night to check.. It’s definitely worth looking into as a lifestyle choice for later life I think Kevevs.. you’ve certainly sowed a seed in my mind..

    On a related note, my wee brother randomly scored me one of these starter kits about 15 years ago.. I’ve still not gotten around to learning it (too many complaints) but one of my all-time favourite gifts..
    I bet that if I was a bear no-one would **** complain..

    Inspired, Maccruiskeen. Although looks dangerous.

    how much was the harp Yunki? might buy one for myself!

    £33 for the big river harp kit according to google and tha’

    probably easier to get gigs if your wearing your redundancy serious **** bear suit too, with the novelty factor and all.. once you’ve got your fur all funky smelling and soaked in booze and piss you’ll start to feel like a real bluesman..
    like John Belushi reincarnated as a bear.. you’d have to play some grizzly upbeat **** harp to pull that lifestyle off.. That’s what I’d be doing if I got made redundant..
    maybe the big river kit isn’t the right place to start..

    I got a pasta maker last year. I like it, but have only used it twice.

    Now a pastie maker, there’s a thought!

    Surely a remote-controlled helicopter and a mini conveyor-belt is an STW must have present?
