Need a last-minute Christmas present idea? Why not make one, and make it a practical joke the whole family can enjoy.

If you haven’t yet done all your Christmas shopping then, well, you’ve probably left it too late. I do, at least, feel sorry for you, because you have a mad rush to get those last-minute things. And I feel sorry for your family because they’re likely to be very disappointed when tomorrow morning arrives.

However, you could help break the tension by placing The Ticklebox amongst all the other gifts, and let someone get the shock of their life. Literally.

Is this in the true spirit of Christmas? Probably not. But it is funny, and could provide a comedy moment or two amongst all the arguing that is the staple of Christmas for some. Which is surely a good thing.
