I think this may be the year that no one gets more than one actual item for Christmas. I have already been given theater tickets. I think we are all getting mac $ only, maybe I will get him an item of clothing to go with. Parents and brother and brother-in-law are getting donations made in their names, plus food items, I think.
That's it. Like 1 present to wrap for each person and in most cases it will be a perishable gift so no actual things to be around. In fact for brother and brother in law, they will not be here so gifts will be shipped directly to them, so no wrapping at all.
I absolutely need to get an angel tree kid or two so I can have some actual fun buying things for someone.
I used to get them Barnes & Noble gift cards, but they got Kindles and don't buy paper books these days
B&N has a great DVD selection, lots of BBC stuff. They're were I picked up my Doctor Who DVDs, and they were able to order Happiness Patrol for me.
edit: And they've got most of the various BBC detective series.
I have no idea what to get anyone for Christmas and it's making me nuts. How is it so soon????

Happiness Patrol! Does it have the special feature documentary on the relationship between Doctor Who and politics? I thought that was fantastic. (I think Happiness Patrol is fantastic too, it's one of my favourite Seventh Doctor adventures. Naff Kandyman and all.)
Ginger, backflung. Sorry it took so long!

I don't remember, I think there's some sort of documentary but I forgot to look. I love the atmospherics of that episode, and the end where Helen is weeping over her horrible dog.
OMG, HAPPINESS PATROL IS THE BEST. I SHALL COSPLAY IT NEXT YEAR.

If they have Kindles, Amazon giftcards.

Check it out if you have a spare moment. It's really quite interesting. (It's included with Happiness Patrol because Helen A was famously modelled on Margaret Thatcher.)
My favourite moment in the ep is when the Doctor talks down the sniper. Probably Seven's best dialogue. (My second favourite is when the Kandyman answers the phone with "Kandyman!".)

It is made for cosplay!
Seven is my favorite doctor after Four. Seven looks amiable and kind, but there's darkness in him. He can get very ominous. Which is what I like about Four--goofy, all teeth and curls, but then his voice drops (yum) and you hope you're not the one who's made him angry.
