Saturday Gift Guide

Well, all the colour supplements are doing it, so why shouldn't we? Here are our top gift picks.

FOR HIM

Make sure your man gets properly clean in the shower by buying him a ManWasher. Just tell him it's definitely not a sponge. It comes with comedy instructions.

FOR HER

Watch her eyes light up when she opens this set of fruit-shaped Matryoshka. And then listen to her gasp when you tell her it cost £275.

FOR THE FAMILY

Enjoy a new twist on an old game with the Primark version of Monopoly. Charge rent on socks, and try to collect all four changing rooms.

Let us know if you see any other naff (sorry, naff? we didn't mean that!) gifts we can feature next Saturday!

Advent Calendar 2025

1st December 2025

Hello! We've sort of lost count, but think the first Advent Calendar was back in 2003, the Internet Archive Wayback Machine says it looked like this: Of course all the links are dead, but the thing it has in common with this year's is that it is still coded in HTML, probably the last thing I will ever rely on coding for. Now it looks like this: Happy Advent! We have gone for the Bonne Maman JAM Calendar again this year, after leaving it too late last year and it selling out at both Fenwick and Selfridges! We get a fresh pot of jam every day to enjoy with our tartines and Ovomaltines. We also have the Domino's "Merry Crustmas" leaflet, and a MUJI calendar we'll show you later in the month. Do let us know what you are opening every day! You can leave a message below, or email us your ideas and suggestions for future days at robotmaths@outlook.com Have a great day!
