Christmas Gifts

Christmas Gifts


by: Tom Jeffreys

Treat yours-elf to goodies galore with Spoonfed. And apologies for the woeful pun...



Christmas – they say it's all about the giving. But for us it's mainly about the receiving. So we've compiled a wee gift guide which is not so much about ideas for presents to give to others, but about putting together a list of the stuff that we really, really, really want. We reckon we've been pretty well behaved this year, and with things ranging from under £10 to several grand, we're just hoping Santa's feeling flush. Otherwise it's gonna be a grumpy Spoonfed office come Christmas morning...
