Hi everyone, well its that time of year again. I am looking for some good sites to buy my christmas presents on line - much easier than tramping round the shops.

I found a good site for jokey items sillyjokes.co.uk and ordered some stuff yeasterday and it arrived today! Does anyone know of any other good sites for gifts?

Hope you can help,

cheers

Pat

You want unusual presents, you say? You like jokey-gift sites, you say?? Well then, you must check out "Archie McPhee: Outfitters of Popular Culture" if you haven't already!! Here's a link: http://www.mcphee.com/

Not jokey, but I bought my mother a tree in the Shannon Valley for her 80th birthday. Look here

Partridge, I once sent my brother a bottle of "Beano," nicely wrapped, of course, as a stocking stuffer. He told me later that that present was "the hit of the [Christmas] party!"

Hawkin's Bazaar does tons of that sort of stuff:

Hawkin's

Their site seems to be down at the moment, but it'll be worth a look when it's back up again.

Archie McPhee is AWESOME! And you get little freebies with your order.

For someone who likes pens & such, check out Levenger, and go to the Outlet section. They have a special right now on those nice Sensa ballpoint pens, in discontinued colors, for $3.95 each. Levenger website

Also, I like this place too: Oriental Trading Company
