I want some ideas.

My best idea atm is to buy my wife a viking river cruise of the Danube and Rhine. I think I'll have to put that one off for another year though.

I saw those ads too. Danube might have gypsy beggars storming the boat.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I cheat and get one big order of Thornton's chocolates, toffee etc.  That way I cover all the bases.

We're making stuff for people this year. Canning, baked goods, paintings, etc. I got a shingle hammer and a Milwaukee sawzall as early Christmas presents/necessary items to complete the honey-do list, and aside from a good pair of Sorel inclement weather boots, I don't really have a burning desire for anything else.

A good thing we are not on exchange present terms :D

Except when it comes to my boys I have yet to get a home made present worth the time that was put into it :D
