OK, so it's “11 more sleeps” till Christmas, but I'm not actually sleeping. I've just about managed to get presents for family sorted, but have been looking for the stuff for my kinkier and odder friends, and…. My partner… who I sort of should have sorted first but… eeek!! The two places I'm going to find most of this stuff from are www.khaoskomix.com and www.CoffeeCakeandkink.com
If you haven't read www.khaoskomix.com before, why not. It's an excellent webcomic about trans/kink/general “not the same as others” issues. They have the best T-shirts for sitting down to Christmas dinner (“I like boys/girls in a gay way”), cute badges and books that should be forced into the hand of anyone who's ever used “Gay” as a pejorative term. Whilst these aren't particularly Christmassy, there's a good reason to buy them now, and that's that the artist, Tab, has just had a break-in, and ended up having the takings and remaining stock from their last show nicked right from their front room. Tab does artwork comissions, steampunk stuff… loads. Drop them a line through the website.
The second place I'm doing my shopping from is the ever wonderful www.coffeecakeandkink.com I'm putting my hands up right from the start, and saying Yes, I am currently working for them, but at the moment that purely means… I get stuck here seeing all this lovely stuff all day, and have a pad next to me where I'm balancing a wishlist against a payslip. So far, I've got…
A handful of Kinky Christmas cards, including art by Geof 'FetishMan' Banyard, the sweet pervy curvy art of Alison Wood, and a couple of classic Olivia “Betty over Santa's Knee” ones.
The wonderfully written “Merry XXXmas Book of Erotica”, takes care of one of my more Newbie friends, whilst a set of Bully rings (adjustable nipple clamps with perfect sized rings to hang mistletoe off of) should make for an interesting present for some of our more… experienced friends.
Oh, and because they're not all a bunch of perves, The Almond loaf cake, because there is such a thing as too many mince pies,
...And a sexy, very burlesque, pair of Maison Close Suspenders, but that's more of a stocking present
Now, If anyone wants to get ME a present, I'll have the “Fabulous Deluxe” Hamper, complete with Monmouth coffee, chocolate, massage candles, and a Christmas pudding!, or maybe one of the Ray Leaning prints (Eve 2, hint hint)
Tab said you can order KhaosKomix stuff upto the 19th, and whilst CCK say they're sending stuff out by courier right up to the 22nd, If you can get to the centre of London, they're pretty much offering an open house policy for people who want to come and pick up their goodies. Give them a ring on the number on their website.
Hope this helps

hmmmm.... advertising? is that OK here? | ||

No it isn't. Probably comes under Other commercial advertising on the AUP. Rohypnol means never having to say "Would you like another coffee?". | ||

It's very simple, I do not like receiving gifts, and I do not give gifts, this includes cards. The true spirit of goodwill is to share of yourself, of your table, of your hearth. In the rush for commercialising and monetising everything, we have all forgotten what "holidays" are actually all about. I'm not cynical mate, just experienced. | ||

This was actually more done it the spirit of Here's one friend who's just had a burglary, and I've had a few friends who've asked for advice, and didn't fancy typing it out 20 times. If you see it as advertising, could admin close this. @asshole_magnet, chacun a son gout. I get my friends gifts as a token of my appreciation. I send cards as reminder of our regard for each other. I don't force people to give presents, nor people not to.
