Christmas Gift Ideas
In one month we will be sat in some room, in some house with the sound of paper ripping, disappointed thankyous from little kids cause they got Hawk Eye action figure and not the Ironman action figure, male adults wearing their best Christmas knitted sweater to please grandma and female adults contemplating opening the wine "to prepare dinner".
The merry thought of all that Christmas cheer coupled with the nagging from the wife, parents and in-laws wanting to know what I want for Christmas has left me stumped. I know what I want but I doubt they would be willing to spend £700 on a set of lights or a RVC kit, so I'm left thinking about other little gifts or token gifts. I got some idea of what I want but I thought I'd see what ideas, wants or would like other people have. What Christmas gift suggestions do you have or have given the family for your self?

Well, having just bought a set of winter wheels and tyres from Dan on this forum, I think that I have used up my quota of presents!
But if there was any room for anything else in the stocking I would be asking for: 1. Audi TT /Phaeton pedals 2. Poorboys Blackhole glaze or Nattys Blue Paste wax. 3. Proper wash bucket with grit guard 4. Other (decent) car care products

My list is extremely short and has for a long time only contained consumable/limited-life items.
 In my final years in the corporate world it was down to 2 items: Silk tie(s), Islay Malt(s). It's now down to just the one - guess which?

The car care products is a good shout! I'll suggest that.
I've also asked Santa for an electric pump (fed up of the old foot pump jobbies), and one of these..... http://www.tyrepal.co.uk/products/tb...r-5-wheel-tpms I think I'll get the pump, not so confident i'll get the monitor!
