What I don't love, is the expectation that everyone has to spend a ball of money to have a brilliant Christmas. Not so. I do an awful lot of my shopping online, and while some items may be more expensive than in-store, it eliminates one of my biggest problems - walking into a shop for one specific thing and coming out with seven things. So, in the spirit of convenience, I bring you part one of my mini online Christmas gift guide. A couple of clicks, and all the shopping done. How good would that feel? It feels feckin' mighty, that's how. Here we go, ladies first. Oh - and at the time of publishing this, everything is under €20 INCLUDING delivery (okay, I went 94cent over on one thing, but hey, I'm only human). I've tried to cater for all kinds of people here, but y'know, you can't please everyone.
