I think I’m quite a kind person.
I mean, I don’t kick hamsters, berate badgers, or worry witchetty grubs, and I’m always nice to monkeys. But today I am being especially lovely, because, wait for it, I’m going to do your Christmas shopping.
Isn’t that nice?
Don’t worry, I’ll let you know how to thank me later.
We’ll start with your Uncle Barnabus. You know, the slightly odd one that lives in a converted oil drum and likes cornflakes topped with kebabs for tea. He’d really like this, I mean he used to love Take Hart and he once made that weird Morph model that used to scare your Auntie Gwen, remember?
Then there’s your cousin Bob, always difficult to buy for right? Especially with having the extra leg and that custard allergy… but I have the perfect gift, honest, it’ll make him feel like a winner.
And your brother’s wife’s nephew who lives next door to your parents? He would look almost adorable in this and if he got annoying you could pull it down over his face for a moment and run away.
Perfect!
There, you feel much better now we’ve made a start don’t you? And there’s so much choice. In fact there are so many different things available on just the one site you really can do all your shopping there, and you won’t even need to dig my car out of the snow!
So, how can you repay me for my thoughtful gift ideas? Well, I’m one of the lucky 100 bloggers who Next has asked to take up a challenge and blog about their fab Christmas gifts and their daily Christmas Prize draw, in return for some vouchers and the chance to share in some dosh.
The thing is, I really need a new hair dryer, a new vaccum and a new car, and maybe, just maybe, if I get lots of clicks I could put some money towards one of these. So please please pretty please click for me. A little wiggle of your finger, that’s all I’m asking for.
Go on, for me, for my children, for my gerbils.
Because I’m worth it.
(P.S. Obviously the more clicks the better so I will be plugging my challenge unashamedly quite regularly until Santa comes to play, but I promise there’ll be other stuff too. Honest.)

Love you! Soooooooo sick of seeing the Next posts elsewhere, day after day. Some of my favourite bloggers are doing them which is the only reason I haven’t removed them from my blogroll. I haven’t even clicked your links yet but I already love you.

Awww thanks Jen. I was a bit nervous of doing this as I don’t want to kill my blog, but I’ve decided to give it a go and just have fun with it.
December 5th, 2010 at 4:08 am
Just to say, I did go back and click in appreciation of your work.
December 4th, 2010 at 2:19 am
I feel so sorry for your car that I’ve voted. Hope you buy him/her a nice warm winter coat.
December 4th, 2010 at 7:32 am
My poor car. I’m going to try and dig it out later so we can attempt to leave the house. Gulp.

I do understand the whinges about blogs turning into advertorials, but when it’s as effing funny as this I really and truly encourage it. Go Jo! Hope you get your hairdryer.
