What in Hell’s name do I buy mrwITch for Christmas?

[witch]

Um...he doesn't eat cheese

Nor do I

Other than Mozzarella and Halloumi in my case which I am told doesnt really count as cheese

You could get him a special pen that writes underwater??

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

apparently you can get ones that write other words as well!!

[witch]

OK

So I have abandoned the idea of getting him something he doesnt know about but will love. Very sad but I just cant think of anything atm

I have bought the dryer thing for his printer

Three sci-fi books as recommended on here

And

A Weird Fish sweatshirt that will look great on him. If he wears it. If I can wrench at least one of the ancient ones he wears off him. He has a nice Kangaroo Poo one and a Fat Face but hey, a girl can dream...

Thanks SO much for all your thoughts and ideas

See you next year!

That is deeply unsettling @_@

 

Although it does make me think you could do a decent stop-motion Goldeneye 64...

The Stretch Clock is a large rubber band that you can stretch around any object. Slide the movement underneath the band, attach the hands, and now you've transformed your object into a clock! To make the Stretch Clock as versatile as possible, I added both 9 & 3 and 12 & 6. Simply flip the band inside out to swap the numbers.

Not at all. Middle son bought them both - and has actually read the first one and loved it so thought it was a great idea for his Dad
