2 ½ Pint Personalised Glass - Christmas Presents For Piss-Heads Or Dads

2009-11-08T11:14:00.001Z

If you're buying a Christmas present for a piss-head and you don't want to get them any more alcohol then you could try this 2 ½ Pint Personalised Glass from Find Me A Gift. I know its £19.99, but I'm sure they'll love it!

You can personalise it with 5 lines of up to 20 characters on each line, so there's a lot you could write on there.

The only problem is that if you're drinking larger out of it surely the bubbles would dissapear before you got to the bottom? Or are you the sort of person that never lets a beer go flat?

I'm seriously considering getting this for my Father-In-Law!

You can get it from Find Me A Gift now.

Crap Christmas Presents - Useless Caravan Birdhouse - Garden Accessories

2009-11-06T10:52:00.000Z

I'm shocked. I never thought I'd see anything so pointless, useless, indeed, crap as this Caravan Birdhouse from Firebox.

It's obviously got a purpose, unlike some of the other crap Christmas presents I've found. But I'm sure there'll be some ingenious folk out there that will make mini sleeping bags and buy dolls house furniture for it too. But, with so many acceptable birdhouses out there why would anyone in their right mind want a caravan birdbox?

You Firebox guys are mad! Mad I tell ya! But at £14.95 its not too expensive to give as a crap Christmas present!

Perfect Christmas Presents For Hikers: Delios Water Bottle

2009-10-30T16:09:00.004Z

I'm often sent products to review, but never have I had something as down-right as useful as the Delios Water Filter Purifier. In a nutshell its a bottle that you can use to purify water when you're hiking or mountain-climbing.

The clever bit is that the filter in the water bottle only weighs 40g but can purify 1,000 litres of water - which I'm sure should last many months.

When you're hiking often you run out of the water you bring with you. When I've been out on Dartmoor or Snowdonia its always tempting to drink from the streams, but you can never be sure if an animal has died upstream and you just don't know what you'll catch. The Delios water bottle solves that problem.

When you get the Super Delios it'll come with very detailed instructions and how its made which will give you the confidence you need to use it safely when you're stuck on the side of a mountain.

Another benefit of the Delios water bottle is that it helps reduce waste as you can use the bottle at work or at home. What's more it'll also save you money as you won't have to spend a couple of Pounds of bought water. If you live in London the Delios water bottle could save you hundreds of Pounds a year.

Just take a peak at some of the insitu pictures:

So I wanted to test it. I filled part of it with mouth wash and part with water. The colour was light green and I fully expected to be able to taste the alcoholic minty flavour, but there was absolutely none. I couldn't taste anything other than water.

The bottle I reviewed was the £29.99 which may seem a touch costly, but what price your health? If you're buying a Christmas present for a hiker, then you really have to consider the Delios!

Suspension Table Alarm Clock - Car Gifts

2009-10-29T16:17:00.000Z

Now this Suspension Table Alarm Clock is definitely a Christmas present for car enthusiasts! I don't know anyone else that would want one to be honest. It's basically a part of a car made into an alarm clock! The description says "This die-cast aluminium quartz movement alarm clock has been designed around a double A-arm link to a shock absorber on an aluminum platform." And I have absolutely no idea what that means!!

The thing is that I've found a website just for Car Gifts called CAAGIS and they've got loads of motoring gizmos and car gadgets so if your husband, boyfriend or indeed wife is into their cars then you've got to consider this site for their Christmas presents.
