I need help. You guys and gals must have some decent ideas for interesting xmas gifts for the family? Don't ya? Please?

Oh, and no TVR drivers in the family!


How about Ronco ear & nasal hair clippers or the device hospitals use to burn off genital warts ?

Both of those are interesting xmas gifts, although the second one might not be considered as being an ideal family gift I suppose.

The mother in law may see the funny side though !

Try and do all your Christmas shopping at 11.30pm Christmas eve in a Petrol Station Shop Look at the delight on peoples faces as they unwrap a litre of Mobil 1, or a Pine fresh air freshener.

M&H do you just do whats in the shop or can 1 offs be comissioned?

Unlikely - she does all that stuff with potions - no need of electrical appliances

Err. I've got access to 700 other product lines so I can probably match something to your requirements if needed

Cheers

PS everyone, just to clarify how to order:

Order on the site as usual. As I authorise the card transactions I will refund the 10% as I debit the order cost so as long as the "how did you find our site" box has PISTONHEADS in it, I'll make the 10% adjustment instantly on the order so don't worry that you can't see it onscreen, you'll see it on your statement.

Don't forget.. orders over £35 only get the 10% discount.

Cheers,
Matt.

This is a good one. Wouldn't give it your gran though.

Go to Amazon and do a search for 'How to in the woods'.

It is actually a genuine book but its a good comedy Christmas present.

Another good one - and this has to be seen to be believed is 'Dancing with Cats'. I was p**ing my pants when I got a copy through. Disturbingly this is real too.

David Ickes book 'The Biggest Secret' is also good for comedy value. You can read about how everyone in power and the monarchy are all lizards ( Dont give this to to anyone whos mentally unstable though ).

Bloody peasants, these Canadians.

Oi, watch it!!!




Thanks for the support, Neil I think we can forgive Imelda THIS time

edited to add I freely use the word Christmas for everything = trees, snow, presents, wrapping, cuddles, cheer, drinks, parties (you can see where this is going)...

I always have to finish my Christmas shopping panicking on Christmas Eve, wondering if that shop closes at 3pm or 4pm. But found a good way to motivate myself to get it all done by the end of November. Find yourself house bound until probably the last week of December - this worked for me, did most of the shopping last week, including some by internet.

As for ideas, might be a bit late now, but a good start is to go round all the main shops and pickup their Christmas catelogues. You should be able to find a book or video for most people. If a puppy is out of the question, maybe Sony's pet dog Aibo. Compare prices on Tesco.com before buying from Amazon

Well, just in case you haven't figured it out yet, our country has been taken over by a bunch of dope smoking ageing hippie pinko communists from the 60s. assholes! are driving us in to a cultureless dark age.
There, I still don't feel any better, cause my taxes are still too high, paying for all this Gov funded PC bullshit.

Just had the 2003 edition of Demon Tweeks drop through my door. Thats my christmas list sorted, if it has Sparco on it buy it for me, T-shirt or strut brace I dont mind.

if I bought people things I really want they might give the back after christmas as they have no use for them. Here gran have a set of Sparco karting boots, ooh thats OK you have more use for them than I, oh cheers gran. and you can keep the nasal trimmers as you have much more need than me

Only joking

Anyone could have them engraved ... although I think I've got some adhesive backed logos with car brands on them that are designed to do just that.. I'll see what I can find, I may well be able to rustle something up.
