My best, but slightly weirdest, Christmas present this year was…a Lakeland Bobble Buster. Truly, it’s awesome and has totally restored my faith in knitwear. A quick survey of friends and family revealed more strange, yet loved, gifts. I’m not talking about the sort of tat that you pretend to like when you open it but bin/donate/re-wrap first thing on Boxing Day (penis pasta, comedy slippers, willie warmers etc). No, these are presents that are pretty lame but for some reason make you really happy. Here are a selection of gifts that brought Christmas cheer to the easily pleased this year:
Bobble Buster – it’s not rude, honestly…
Who doesn’t need a space hopper?
Fleecy nightcap for those chilly nights
Potato masher
You really can’t have too many dishcloths
Non squeaky basket for pushchair
Cast of a Greek lady’s bottom
Great British Bake Off wooden spoon
Did you receive any bizarre, yet awesome, Christmas presents? Can anyone beat the Greek lady’s bottom?? Without mentioning the wooden spoon…
