It's Friday, it's now eight weeks until Christmas, time to throw some more print-related gift ideas into the mix.

This week's selection can be filed under tacky and tasteless, and involved extensive research including a cover-to-cover read of the Presents for Men catalogue. Now that I know of the existence of 'tattoo sleeves' I am desperate to get hold of a set. What a genius idea, think of the potential for causing palpitations among parents and others of a sensitive disposition. In fact, imagine the fun to be had if one could persuade a surly teen or two to slip a pair on in preparation for that Christmas visit to gran and grandad? Surely a must-have.

Also to be found in the same catalogue are high-brow reads such as the Kama Pootra and Potty, Fartwell & Knob ('extraordinary but true names of British people'). This calls to mind a chum who was at school with someone whose name was Roland Butter. According to this book it seems things could have been worse, he could have been Peter Piddle.

Moving on, I must thank 'Stanley Dingtype', stalwart of the PrintWeek forum, for flagging up the existence of this festive loo roll from the Dotcomgiftshop. Stanley also alerted me to The Sun's whimsical 'print your own giftwrap' suggestion. I imagine some PrintWeek readers could have a bit of fun outputting that.

Lastly, this just in from the satirists at The Daily Mash, which has launched its Christmas merchandise selection. The level of political correctness is pleasingly low, but anyone easily offended should proceed to its online shop with caution. That said anyone with a gadget man or woman in their life will appreciate how on-the-button their 'shiny thing make it all better' range is. Get 15% off if you order before midnight on Wednesday with this code: DMPAYDAY.

For my next selection I shall endeavour to include classier items less likely to require a parental advisory warning, so please keep those suggestions coming for Crimbo gifts with a print twist.
