An electric toothbrush
Socks
A weather detector
(This is an ingenious piece of kit. It's a sponge on a string which you hang outside the window. If the sponge is wet, it is raining. If it is hot, it is sunny. If it it hangning at an angle, it is windy)
An invisible man action figure
(Need I state the obvious here?)
Sweets and stuff. More than I eat in a year - partially because I don't actually eat sweets and chocolate.
Puzzles. Every year I get a few, and every year I solve them quickly. This year, I've been beaten. Some annoying string puzzle has the better of me. Grrrr. Alcohol must have been destorying my brainpower.
Red Dwarf video - first few episodes of series seven, incluing extra footage and the Rimmer munchkin song.
Juggling eggs. realistic (allegedly) looking eggs made of rubber, to be juggled with. Look about as convincing as eggs as strawberry jam looks like realistic blood. Excellent for throwing at younger siblings, however.
And A Terry Pratchett book.
That's the lot!
