Xmas can be tough on those of us without the time or the inclination to spend hours traipsing round the stores to a backdrop of Yule muzak, wearily contemplating which lingerie/socks/jumper will bring a little seasonal cheer to a loved one.

Thank Old Saint Nick then for Debenhams (http://www.debenhams.com/), whose online store is offering something a little different for the struggling gift hunter.

The mind boggles. Tempting as it is to snigger in an adolescent fashion at this delicious typo, we're going to reserve comment and restrict ourselves to a Sid Jamesean (http://www.carryonline.com/carry/sid.html) cackle and a quick "Oooh Matron!" in the style of Kenneth Williams (http://www.kennethwilliams.org.uk/). Enough said and a Happy Xmas to you all. ®
