Christmas junk you don't need

[slowmotion]

Some of us stopped outside Fortnum and Mason's at silly o'clock last night. There was a display of hampers in the window. Apart from the grog, would you give much of this stupendously expensive tat the time of day? £500?

I mean.....it's funny for maybe 5 seconds, it might bring a smile to your face but...who the (Expletive deleted) would actually go buy one . Cretinous.

Remember Big Mouth Billy Bass? I mean, as my daughter would say, seriously?

An ironing board.
No idea how you would conceal what it is though by wrapping it

Crackers, not me the things you pull.

A can of de-icer.

We so rarely get frost where I live but I have a shed full of them which arrive in my Christmas stocking every year.

Bizarrely, my dad gives me a huge can of de-icer every year - despite knowing that I really don't like or use the stuff.

It's all nice enough stuff I wouldn't sniff at, but £500? Really? The hamper itself might be worth £30, the food and drink inside £120 - perhaps £60 and £200 given the F&M markup.

They've sold out of their £6,000 hamper, I'm sorry to report....

What I love about this is "Standard UK delivery from £5.95". If you paid 6k for it you might expect them to stump for delivery!! Haha

Make some kind of cardboard fin for it, then wrap it as a surfboard, obvs.

One day I made a mistake. I said the music on a documentary sounded nice.
I've never got round to listening to all five CDs of pan pipes

Tell everyone you like cycling, and then expect novelty cycling stuff and low quality tools and lights every year for the rest of your life.

DO NOT GIVE AN IRONING BOARD AS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

I played golf 20 years or so ago. Anybody want 19 boxes of golf balls?
