Being on nights has been a bonus as it affords a good bit of time for research.

Got a good few ideas floating around.

Mint.

What is the reccomended spend (or suggested)? It's been a while and I can't remember.

There isn't a recommended/suggested, in the past it's just been a £10 minimum.

You should spend around £150 on me.

For your recipient? Don't care. Grab them some cheap tat from a charity shop. Just be sure to spoil me.

A round of drinks at the hopbunker should make a decent dent in £150 :dread:

We're going to be in full on house move mode in the lead up to Christmas (heading to Cardiff as it happens...) So I apologize in advance for the lack of time (and budget!) I may end up being able to devote to my victim!

When you spent the evening researching, finally think you've got your gifts nailed down, then find a throwaway post saying they've already got it

I possess the means of production therefore I can literally create value. :cool:

I like the mixed approach of getting some "real" presents complete with blister packaging however.

I have a nice wee idea lined up for my recipient. What's even better is they'll either think it's quite cool or ABSOLUTELY strawberry floating HATE IT.

All part of the fun :)

You just reminded me of my silly one which is literally my visualisation of their post history and is a TV reference :lol: you'll see.

(It's also going to be REALLY hard to put together so hopefully it's worth it.)

A glitter bomb now is way too obvious.

What you need to do is keep hold of your victims address and then send one next year. That way you will not be under suspicion for it and the blame will fall somebody else.

Do I still have Laga’s address from last year……

We also need to specify if we're glitter bomb safe along with Christmas day safe.
