As Christmas is finally on its way I thought I would start to get into the mood by writing about some of the strangest things I have actually been given.

They do seem to get madder and madder with my growing age so perhaps it is a somebody trying to tell me that I am perhaps going a bit mad myself. My Aunt is the one who does this as she always hands out crazy gifts. These gifts make you feel like a kid again and are welcome over the normal socks and clothes.

Some of these ethical Christmas Gifts have even been ethical gifts which I cannot say I am a personal fan of but nevertheless some of them have been really quite fun to mess around with, so without further baffling, here is the list of my favourites.

Fighting Granddads

These are simply brilliant and I was very chuffed indeed when I received these as they are such a simple yet brilliant gift to give. I looked on in amazement as I had two toy old men who whenever put near eachother started to attempt to kill one another. However I did get a bit of enjoyment out of watching two old men hit eachother with a stick, is that so wrong.

The awsome USB chess game

Although I have never and will never play chess I thought this was an awesome invention simply because it was amazing how the device knew when you made a wrong move (every one in my case)

Bed Linen

Yes I received fair-trade bed linen from my mad aunt and this is the strangest of all the items received as it isn’t even a crazy gift.

has Aunt lost the last part of her mind? I wonder what crazy, out there, present my aunt has in store for me this holiday season. What will it be?
