The Bloggerheads Prize Shelf
Please note that prizes struck out like this are no longer available.
1 - 'Pass the Pigs' game. Authentic. Classic. Fun.
2 - The Numerator. Huge technological throwback that will stamp sequential numbers onto most items it does not crush under its considerable weight.
3 - Tin for OXO cubes (Modern reproduction with Victorian illustration. Also capable of carrying items that are not OXO cubes.)
4 - 80s head thing. Decorative, fibreglass, and totally gay.
5 - Motorised Gorilla Pencil Sharpener. Exactly like this one. A special sharpener for special people.
6 - Lego Exo Force Gold Limited Edition figure. Not real gold but, because he has never joined the general Lego collection, this little fella is just a wee bit rare in that he is made of Lego that I am willing to part with. And you cannot see him properly because he is holding...
7. A CD single that cost me a pretty penny. And by that, I mean it cost me one single penny, but it was a very pretty one.
8 - The Batman Twins. Worthless. I may as well throw in Superman and Darth Vader. And another Superman.
9 - Austin Powers and Dr Evil (and Mr Bigglesworth) action figures. Too groovy for my office.
10 - Science Museum 'Wake Yoo' Alarm Clock. Record a personal message for your alarm each morning. Great for sad loners with anger management issues. Pretend that you have a wife/girlfriend to wake up next to, or just shout at yourself.

11 - Black diary, suitable for documenting the results of glorious 5-year plans.
12 - Talking George W. Bush doll. 12" tall. Smarter than actual president.
13 - Small mother-of-pearl urn-like object containing authentic ashes of Tony Blair.
14 - Stationery set. The ultimate low-key and no-imagination gift for the sometime-associate in your life.
15 - Hip flasks. Set of two. Except that they're not a set, there's just two. The larger of the two has been to every carol and anti-carol service and effigy burning to date, and so regards itself to be a bit special, even when it's not full of liquor. (Insert 'libertarian' 'blogger' joke here.)
16 - Galactic Heroes Han Solo (plus frozen-in-carbonite Solo) and Princess Leia (in Boushh disguise). Justin has called dibs. Hands off unless you want to start a fight.
17 - The Sun Annual for Boys (1972). Not as hilarious as one might assume, so I'll throw in The Best of Eagle.
18 - Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (paperback). If you don't own a copy of this already, you don't deserve it. So don't ask for it.
19 - Is This Supposed to be Funny? by Hugleikur Dagsson. Often funny, and rarely in good taste.
20 - Labtec Verse 704 USB Stand-up Microphone or some such nonsense.
21 - Shiny brass tin. Empty. Nifty.
