What do you give the man who has everything?

We stopped having stockings at Christmas the same year that I got miniature bottles of vodka and flavoured condoms in mine.  Which was a shame really; they were just getting interesting.

The great thing about our stockings when we were kids was firstly that they really were socks, usually my dad's, so getting the presents out of them was really difficult and secondly that the whole family contributed to them.  After we'd been packed off to bed my parents, grandparents, great aunt and uncle sat up, getting rolling drunk and putting the wrong presents in the wrong stockings.

However, it turns out that my brother in law has never had a stocking.  So my little sister decided that we're going to do one for him.  And of course we all have to put something in the stocking.  I've been ignoring this for as long as possible, but as I really quite like my brother in law I decided to make him a little something, using one of both our favourite materials.

It's a lego cufflink box!

Oh, ok.  I cheated.  I bought a kit, but it's brilliant.
