The greatest idea to ever issue from my tiny, tiny brain...

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

The greatest idea to ever issue from my tiny, tiny brain...

Post by Kaylee » Sat Dec 18, 2010 7:52 pm

My family shall this year receive their gifts through the medium of...

The Mystery Box!

It contains 25 small gifts, so my sisters and father can each have 5 goes each taking a gift out. The rules are that you can trade your gift with someone else if you don't like it!

To further spice up the mix, there is the super secret Mini Mystery Box (contained within the Mystery Box) containing five chocolates :)

See money is tight this Christmas (like it has been forever!) so to disguise my spending not-too-much, I found a way to make the gift giving vaguely more entertaining :D

The gifts are all fun and quirky: a car horn, a sipping bird, a harmonica, a flute, a Pac Man mug (which changes colour when you put hot water in it). Stuff like that!

I'll add 'How to' instructions to my blog soon, should anyone be unclear on how to get a box and draw question marks on it ;)

Lois, the boat is a boat but the mystery box could be anything. It could even be a boat!

Totally stealing it. Way to make it fun, Karlos. Come to my corner of the US and entertain the children.

Or do one big poo in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I bet they weren't even excited by and then subsequently disappointed by Star Wars Prequels. Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

It's stating the obvious, but I keep thinking it whenever I click in so I had to say it. We like Karl!
