I love the free catalogues that you find tucked inside magazines. It's such fun seeing the stuff that other people buy! But one of them has me stumped. The motorised coin sorter. You throw your coins in the top, and it sorts them out for you, and tells you how much they're worth.
I've just done an experiment—emptied my purse, sorted and counted the contents. The coins add up to £9.33. It took me 19 seconds.
So who spends £30 on a machine to do it for them? And why?
Apparently it's a catalogue bestseller. I can only think that it must be men who need them…

Of course men NEED them!
Since when has the usefulness of a gadget been related to it's value?

Hi - thanks for your question about the Advent Calendar Packs. Each one has a slightly different focus. "Countdown to the coming of the King" covers the best-known parts of the Christmas story from Matthew and Luke. "Christmas Opened Up" is just based in Luke, and includes the wider events surrounding Mary's cousin Elizabeth, and then Simeon and Anna seeing the young Jesus at the temple. Either of these is ideal for families with little or no Bible knowledge. "The real Christmas tree" does a whizz through the Old Testament looking at the promises God made to send the new King. This calendar is more suitable for families with a reasonable amount of Bible background. All three come with a booklet that help families read a small bit of the Bible each day.
Oops - forgot to say that you can find more about the Advent Calendar packs at http://www.thegoodbook.co.uk/search?q=advent+calendar
