Christmas Gift Dilemmas
Those who’ve visited this blog before will be familiar with the Nurse, a long-time member of the Sussex Amateur Brain Surgery Club who is currently residing at her majesties pleasure in a secure hospital.
My colleagues and I have been wracking our brains to come up with a suitable seasonal gift for our friend who can be a little hard to please. Last year we chose a delightful Aromatherapy gift set from This Works, described as a survival kit for modern malaises. Unfortunately the nurse chose to resell the toiletries to her fellow patients as some form of narcotic and several nearly died after injecting body lotion.
Currently we are leaning towards a selection of novels as the Nurse is an avid reader. Books are always a good buy at this time of year, but which titles would be a good choice for a slightly deranged medical practitioner? The Nurse can be upset very easily and has, on occasion, been provoked to violence by nothing more than a classified advertisement for a television set.
Book tokens would be the answer, but since the Nurse isn’t likely to be able to visit Waterstones or W.H.Smith it will have to be an Amazon voucher.

Sounds like a tricky buy. Yup. I think that Amazon voucher’s probably the way to go. :O

A cake with a file hidden in it, perhaps?
