Michelle and I managed to sneak some bits and pieces for our British nieces and nephews, siblings and friends into Paul and Steph's suitcase when they left to head home on Monday but largely we are yet to begin our Xmas shopping. The convenience of Amazon.com and leave-it-to-the-last-minute empowerment of free 2 day shipping make it all too easy to curl up with on the couch with the cats and do everything via laptop in the comfort of our own home. And while it's inevitable that there will be some last minute shopping emergency or other that will require us to have to leave the house and go shopping in public with the rest of the population, there's a good chance that we'll be able to get pretty much everything ordered without stressing ourselves out or disturbing the cats from their evening slumber.
And that then is our gift to you for this holiday season. The opportunity to also participate in our stress free Xmas gift shopping revolution. My Amazon list is pretty much up to date. I'll get Michelle to join in too. And we can even create one for Miko and Cornflake if you are intending to buy them something that they'll show you zero gratitude for. They are cats, after all.
Additionally, Mum and Dad/Val and Trev are flying over and will be in Kingsburg by the 22nd. I am more than happy to offer them up as Xmas gift mules should your loved one's dreams involve Marmite, Steak and Kidney pies, Christmas Puddings or any of a number of other great British delicacies.
And in any case, they can always be given as white elephant gifts the following year.
