Mrs Woog’s Christmas Gift Guide for Lazy-Assed Shoppers.

November 17, 2012 By 1 Comment

Hysterical festiveness is upon up once again, and once again I am doing a bit of the hard work for you. I am spending thoughtful pondering time, going through gifting options that you can purchase online, so you do not have to drive around and around and around the car park, in a slow-build rage the week before Christmas Day.

This list is totally independent.
Any items gifted to me are disclosed with an * and I am under no obligation to write anything these items. I just like them.

After all, this is almost like my court ordered community service. But far less messy!
