Each hamper is bursting with:? 3 kg (approx.) Scottish | Kobe Rib Roast? A Wireless Meat Thermometer? A 12-18" Wellingtonia Tree? 40-ounce (1,120 gm) of Virginia Peanuts? Maneki Neko (lucky cat bank)? 1.5 pound (681 g) box of Scottish Tablet (fudge)All That And Something More . . .All of your gifts are carefully cushioned for shipping in natural packing material and handsomely presented in a hand-made wooden crate. After the holidays are over, it's a perfect storage container for Christmas china, Christmas ornaments, and lots of treasured Christmas memories.
But the box is just the beginning - wait until you see what's inside:The Meat of the MatterWe start with a 3 kg Scottish | Kobe rib roast from our pedigree Aberdeen Angus or Highland cattle. This beef has been aged for 21 days and will make a magnificent centrepiece for any Christmas dinner.
Perfect TimingTo help ensure that the rib roast achieves mouthwatering perfection, we've included a wireless meat thermometer.
Simply put the probe into the roast: its connected via a thin cable to a small battery-operated transmitter that is placed outside the oven door.
The pager-sized, goes-anywhere receiver will alert you when your meal is almost ready, and will display the interior meat temperature in real time.
Christmas "Tree" It's quite a responsibility to plant a tree that will grow for up to 3,000 years.
So be prepared -- a 12-18" inch potted Wellingtonia is included in your gift box.These beautiful trees grow up to two feet a year and are shaped like green rockets. Hearty and holiday-friendly, they tolerate most soil types. The tree, a Giant Sequoia, was named Wellingtonia in the U.K. in honour of the Duke of Wellington.
"Gardeners Chronicle" broke the news of the discovery of the giant tree on Christmas Eve, 1853.Peanuts to YouVirginia peanuts, grown mostly in the sandy loam soil of Southeastern Virginia, are known for their extra-large kernels and extra-big taste.
Ours are hand-picked in Emporia, Virginia, and are then blanched and cooked in canola oil and a pinch of salt for their unique crunchy texture.A Gift of Good LuckThe charming Maneki Neko cat is a beloved and ubiquitous symbol in Japan and a perfect addition to the Ichiban.
The Maneki Neko we've included has two upraised paws -- the beckoning gesture is thought to bring good luck (a raised left paw invites guests, a raised right paw invites good fortune).Sweet DreamsDo you like to bite into candy that bites back a bit?
Then you'll love Scottish Tablet.
It's like fudge, but more grainy; like toffee, but not chewy.
In a nutshell, Scottish Tablet is a wee bit of heaven in an otherwise dreich country.
We've included more than just a wee bit -- a 1.5 pound (681 g) box is enclosed.Even if you don't speak Japanese, say "Ichiban" for a Merry - and #1 - Christmas.

CHRISTMAS CLANGERS
CHRISTMAS CLANGERS-- Collected, compiled and cranked out by "The Quipping Queen" for your amusement and delight --As the ho ho ho season rolls around, one is reminded of some very wicked words from a few wise men, a smattering of witty women, and a handful of weird wee folk who wish to remain anonymous."A Merry Christmas to all my friends except two." (W.C. Fields)"I am a poor man, but I would gladly give ten shillings to find out who sent me the insulting Christmas card I received this morning." (George and Weedon Grossmith, The Diary of a Nobody, 1894)"Christmas, that time to of year when people descend into the bunker of the family."

War Story with a Difference - Update
Fr Tim Butler and Neil Ralley have completed the task of creating a slide show incorporating some of Ralley's images of stained glass and making it available for projection at all US and Allied bases throughout the theatre of operations and on all US navy ships.

Removing Mold Stains from Your Hardwood Floors
Wood floors are a glorious addition to your home, as well as extremely practical. They are good in all types of weather and last a very long time, as long as they're taken care of. And that's where things get a bit soggy-literally. Even if you're super careful with your floor, any water or liquid left standing for a long time can cause mold to develop.
