Awwwh, you shouldn't have....no seriously, you shouldn't have.

They've lit up Regent Street, so Christmas can't be more than couple of months away. This year I've decided to do my Christmas shopping online and I have found the ideal website http://www.stupid.com

There are some truly stupid gifts to choose from, such as the Bacon Wallet - actually looks like a slab of breakfast meat. You can also give someone a set of Camo Golf Balls - camoflaged green to make them even harder to find in the rough.

But there are two gifts that have caught my eye. First, the Fidel Castro Action figure (30 centimeters in height) - the promotional blurb says 'Think of the fun you will have recreating the Bay of Pigs invasion or Cuban Missile Crisis! You can oppress your other action figures and nationalise your mother's vegetable patch'.

However, my favourite Christmas gift is the 2007 Dog Poop Calendar. This is a true work of art. A professional photographer has taken a array of spectacular landscapes or tableau with dog shit as the focal point. The depth of field, composition and sympathetic treatment of the subject matter has resulted in a truly inspiring piece of work.

Remember.....it's the thought that counts.
