Whether you've finished getting presents or just fancy treating yourself...
Oh crap, it’s almost Christmas! And you still haven’t finished all your present shopping?! Tut tut. Well, actually, us either. So we feel your pain. There’s still some time though. Thanks to the wonders of online shopping (up yours The High Street!) you won’t have to brave the hordes of slow-walkers, phone-fixated zombies and well, the general public to get what you need in time. Depending on where you live and shipping and all that. Soz, we don't make up the rules.
Still, we’ve put together a last minute gift guide to help spark some ideas and maybe even help you out of a bind. And if it’s too late to get some of this stuff delivered where you live, well... think of it as a late gift to yourself! That way when they arrive after the hullabaloo has died down, you can cheer yourself up with that sweet, sweet retail therapy kickback.
You’re welcome.
(p.s. all prices shown are pre-postage and packaging, and are accurate as of publishing according to the good folks over at currency conversion site xe.com… so yeah, don’t @ us if you’ve not factored that in)
DEATHWISH FLAG
Far be it for us to suggest that the people charged with leading us through these grim and unsettling times don’t have the first damn clue what they’re doing. But we do know that Deathwish Inc. have never let us down, so maybe this is one flag worth flying.
