@GiveMeAllTheGin8 my DH loves super dry stuff but EVERY single time I've bought him something from there he has exchanged it for a totally different item. So I've given in. Even feels pointless buying him a voucher Cos we have a shared bank account anyway!

Star Wars tshirt

Nice coffee

Always love these threads!

Tree presents:

Trying to avoid the twitch, its weird not being able to buy an overnight stay or tickets for something this year (covid plus baby due) so doesn't feel much.
