WHY?

look at the lovely item here

i just don't get it!!

any other contenders that you have stumbled upon online, can you come up with a more dull present!!?

Think I'd def prefer a Slanket!

I think it's aimed at the very specialist market of That Man's Wife.

How strange. Don't think I need one though.

MaryMotherOfCheeses · 30/11/2009 22:06

That is very very funny.

I wonder if it's one of a series???

Mcdreamy · 30/11/2009 22:06

PMSL I am going to buy it for my BIL - DH is always looking for random presents for him. This is perfect

mazzystartled · 30/11/2009 22:06

look how much it costs!

or maybe there is a thing with the jigsaw cognoscenti - the more boring the jigsaw the better the challenge

No customer reviews ..I wonder why not

MadameDuBain · 30/11/2009 22:11

It's kind of so bad it's good. If someone gave me that I would laugh my head off and would also not be able to resist doing it (though I never do jigsaws).

LynetteScavo · 30/11/2009 22:11

Maybe it's one of a series...tehy may well be one of him scapping the ice of his car, of him sweeping up leaves, and another of him mowing the lawn in spring...

mustrunmore · 30/11/2009 22:12

Oh, that is Superb

MadameDuBain · 30/11/2009 22:12

I have just noticed the price - perhaps a tad excessive!

QOD · 30/11/2009 22:14

my friend got my stepdad a 3d plastic poster of Micahel jackson and Bubbles. It was so bad it was good !!!!

ShutUpandDrinkYourGin · 30/11/2009 22:17

Goober · 30/11/2009 22:18

VickyA · 30/11/2009 22:19
