10th December 2024

Time for some silly presents that you could buy (as if yesterday's toilet roll wasn't silly enough).

1) for the EXCEL fan in your life, from the silly folks at the Financial Times, a vaguely seasonal mousemat. They have a whole range of merch, mainly mocking people who buy crypto.


2) ornaments seem to be getting sillier and tackier every year. The Covent Garden shop Choosing Keeping has a representative range including these three kitschy classics.


3) another nerdy gift, this time from Mathsgear, who have loads of silly toys that actually show some really important maths. Alongside non-transitive dice and , they have these square coasters, each of which is split into different sized squares. If you put all four together, it makes a super-square!


4) saving the best until last. After Primark's tie up with Greggs, other fast food companies want to get in on the act. Signing up with McDonalds promises you access to exclusive merch. And now Dunkin' Donuts want you to be their brand ambassador. Be the envy of your friends with these DD bobble hats and sprinkle mugs!

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!
