Yuletide - the washing powder of wisdom

So, Christmas shopping is complete, and I feel a lot poorer. The shopping in Dubai will tend to make you overspend. The thing about Christmas presents for a woman is that you need to design them like a mall.

1. There has to be variety. Not just one present - many presents. This is because women don't scale points for big presents - 1 present = 1 point. And no-one shops at a mall that only has one department store.
2. There has to be an anchor present. Like Woolworths, or Pick 'n Pay, or Walmart, you've gotta get a good anchor in to provide the substance.
3. There should be bling. If your loved one cannot show off the gifts to her friends, it's not as cool. Names you can brag about - Armani, Vera Wang, Jimmy Choo - put you in the bonus round.
4. Finally, you must have pamper. Something to relax, to take the weight off after a long day of shopping. Bath salts or chocolate - the theme is spoil yourself.

Well, that's my 2 cents' worth. I'm pretty sure Helen will let you know how it works out.
