For our first Christmas together I asked OH what he wanted and I got a big long list of items, mostly things he wouldn't want, including gold chain, xbox games, a cat, plasma tv, boxers, a car etc etc etc. I went on a hunt and got something reasonable and mini versions of things on the list (car shaped lighter and stuff). For the rest, I bought a bag of snack sized chocolate bars and went through the Argos book cutting out as many pictures of items on the list as I could and stuck each one to a bar of chocolate and put them all in a stocking! He thought I was completely mental but it gave us a laugh.
Needless to say the "plasma tv" didn't get eaten until we were actually in a position to go out and buy one!"Life may not always be the party you wish for, but whilst here you may aswell dance"!!!
