If I "ever" find myself scrap-booking I'll personally email you my address and the money to buy a gun so you can come shoot me.

From my experience none of my friends would mind in the slightest if they got nothing at all from me - but I would mind.

F****g love the homemade paper doily windchime
Great stuff Mandy you really should try to get in to retail somehow, you are one talented lady.

I've also been known to give one of my photo's as a gift if I know it's one the person likes.

Quite. The shit present thing can be a game though. We're all doing two gifts this year. One will be the proper gift. We drew names from a hat last Christmas, so I know who I am buying for etc. The other will be recycled pressies. These will be handed over in the same way but people will have the option of trading/stealing before they have been opened. Our offering will be some artisanal table linen I was given as a corporate gift during a business trip to Brazil in January. It is truly wank.

That reminds me. About five years ago, my BIL gave both of his sisters sex toys. Those presents were opened in front of the entire family.
