Gift rapt.....

Am I the only person who gets absolutely entranced by those catalogues you find in your weekend newspaper - the ones which sell things you never even dreamt existed?

Last Sunday's was wonderful. The writing on the front declared that it was the 'Special Present Edition'. And indeed, who amongst us would not love to be the recipient of an 'Auralight' (some sort of solar-powered contraption which converts your excess ear wax into lovely festive candles)....or a 'Twanket' (a massive onesie, for you and your 'special friend' to wear together! I'm not entirely sure what happens when one of you needs the loo though...that wasn't actually explained to my satisfaction.) Or how about the 'Hair Loom'....a computerised razor which collects your beard/leg/nose hair trimmings and then sort of knits them into a long sausage shape, which you then shove into your window frames to keep out unwanted draughts!

I bet you're sad you're not on my Christmas list.....
