It's topical and you are possibly Scottish. I'm not Scottish! Oh well, I suppose it is the thought that counts... Still, you are a huge Leon fan! |

Internet people are likely picking much better and more appropriate presents than the people who have known us our whole lives. If my mum had the insight to give me a signed T-Bag picture, I would actually consider not putting her in a home when she eventually goes completely mental.

To Jode*
A decoration for your Christmas tree
and a fancy art print
Best Wishes, Alasdair / Raspberry Thanks raspberry they're awesome! Did you do some research and find out that I was a graphic/web/multimedia designer and I love all that arty stuff? Or was it just a lucky guess/what you would like yourself? |

Dunkley the Snowman - thank you very much, I didn't have those as a kid. My sister did but she wasn't good at sharing.
Jode* - I've had my eye on the prints for a while for myself and I surfed some blogs for gift ideas and came up with the decoration. If I were spending real money I'd only be £1 over the secret santa budget. I tried to gather info about you from your posts but I all I determined is that you might be a vegetarian with frizzy hair that is not adverse to gambling.

Thank you jamiek! I especially appreciate the Vanish. For Coxy... I had little idea what to get you, so I just got you what I thought most people should like. 2 Kylie dolls!  Also, in light of your sdisagreement regarding radio 1's decision to censor Fairytale of new York, I got you these- #  |

Has everyone given and been given to now?
I think it's been rather a success. People have been very thoughtful and creative and their virtual generosity knows no bounds.
The Christian Right would be very impressed, and not only with Bungle's present for Rory.

I never got anything! I have now turned to sherry to see me through this difficult time of neglect - although I don't regret the time that I spent shopping for Audrey as she seems lovely!

Poor Lisa. It seems McFlooze hasn't logged on for 10 days or so. As chief overseer of the sweepstake, please accept this quickly assembled contingency hamper type collection of gifts with the best festive wishes.  A king prawn ring!  Kerry's first novel  Jane Asher's Calendar of Cakes  A Same Difference fridge magnet  And some leg warmers! Hope they were worth the wait! xx |

Ooh, my present appears to have been lost in the post too. Poor Gareth. Another rummage through the contingency storeroom reveals:  A Jonathan Rhys Meyers keyring  A little something for Nipper  A John Barrowman calendar  A John Barrowman pillow!!! And because you love John so much:  Happy Christmas! |

Oh, shit, I totally forgot to post, after having a search on the day after Paul announced it. Sorry! It wouldn't be Christmas without somebody making a mess of gifts, though. Please accept: This lovely DVD presented by Springwatch host Bill Oddie:  And:  Also, Xeno, thank you - I never had a Mr Frosty either! My brother did, but he wouldn't let me use it. "You asked for Kerplunk." Bastard. |

Goodness me, so many presents! I feel like Dudley Dursley.
Paul - Many thanks for my contingency presents. However, since they are now actually unneeded I shall give you back the John Barrowman calendar, pillow and cumrag (UN-USED). HOWEVER as not to look ungrateful I shall still keep the keyring and hope it stops me losing my keys so much and having to really annoy my housemates banging on the front door at all hours. Nipper would also probably like to keep the toy because he is in mourning at the moment as his Hamster girlfriend in Aberystwyth died earlier today.
Boxedjoy - They are exceptionally ace presents and I thank you. Bill Oddie AND dinosaurs AND Kylie all feature in my top twenty favourite things of all time. I have only just fully appreciated the incredibleness of Kylie's hairy hat too. It reminds me of one of those eco houses that have grass on the roof.
My real presents tomorrow will probably pale in disappointment now.

I spent my entire bed-ridden, ill Christmas feeling guilty that I hadn't been able to post your present! Poor Mr Mcflooze had to reassure me that I would still be welcome on the Lowculture boards... Anyway Lisa, I wanted to get you an elf costume so that you could Elf Yourself for real, but they were all shit. So I got you this instead:  Sorry it's so late xxx EDIT: somethingbiblical, thank you so much! Is it okay if I use the hair dye on myself though - I've been meaning to go back to blonde for ages! |
