Presents Past and Future
Whether your loved ones are futuristic gadget freaks, or fans of old-fashioned retro chic, treat them to whatever their little heart's desire with the fantastic range of online presents available for Christmas time... Regardless of their preference for presents, there really will be no excuse for dodgy novelty socks or flashing ties this year!
Nostalgic presents
Relive a favourite period from your past with an original newspaper from your chosen date - perhaps to celebrate a birth, or a wedding... or a date that is of particular personal significance! The special newspaper comes in a gorgeous handmade gift box, along with a certificate of authenticity, personalised with the recipient's name and a personal message... this gift is also available in a larger presentation box, in luxury green and with an embossed 'day to remember' in gold on the front - definitely one paper that's not for recycling!
Sports lovers will also love one of the fantastic personalised sports book presents- there's a range of various sports, including football, boxing, rugby and cricket - and your loved one will receive a lovely leather look book all about their favourite team - fully researched and containing all the major sports coverage of their team right from the early twentieth century - right until the end of last season!
Otherwise, continuing the theme of commemorative book presents - how about reliving the highs of your loved one's very own history - with their own copy of the famous 'This is Your Life' - big red book! This high quality book contains 24 cream manilla pages, carefully separated to preserve all precious photos and mementoes. The great thing is that it's suitable for so many occasions - birthdays, weddings, graduations, anniversaries etc - let your imagination run wild, and get the family together to provide a handy studio audience! (You can be Michael Aspel!)
Retro chic presents
For ladies who appreciate traditional glamour, how about presents like the lovely 'heavenly handbag' place settings! No more eating TV dinners on the sofa - bring back traditional style and glorious table decor with these cute little enamel and diamante place settings - just pop your diner's names in, and mix the guys and girls up for maximum dining fun! Or appeal to their love of old-fashioned beauty with presents such as the antique silver-plated jewellery box - it has a beautiful dainty flower design in silver, and will perfectly house all of her most special jewellery... in fact, why not pop a little something inside at the same time...
High tech wonder presents
For presents with the futuristic edge, why not start with the quirky little 'MoPod' dog - the cute little character dances and flashes when a call arrives on your mobile - interacting with the ring tone to dance away and light up your phone! Just remember to actually answer the call, rather than becoming mesmerised by your spinning mini pet!
Or for dinky little stocking filler presents, why not try the 'diamond bling key chain' which adds some real sparkle to those boring old keyrings! Or liven up dull meetings with the 'Dirty Dancing In Your Pocket' keychain, which features a selection of classic quotes from every girl's loved movie! Everyone repeat along - 'nobody puts Baby in the corner!!!' For guys who are less enamoured with Dirty Dancing, futuristic stocking filler presents could include the cool 'Loc*tor Lite' which is a credit card sized gadget which guides you to your possessions! It comes with two little homing tags to attach to your important items (keys, beer) and is small enough to fit into your wallet. Choose these presents and never get shouted at for losing the car keys again!
You could also get really futuristic with futuristic presents which reach for new and unchartered territories of space! For example, naming a star after your favourite person! The chosen name is registered for a lifetime, and the lucky gift recipient will receive a fantastic personalised box with a certificate inside and the co-ordinates of their own star. Get sky gazing! You can also buy an acre of Venus! This highly unusual gift comes with a special deed, showing your recipient's new status as a Venusian - a map, showing exactly where their acre is situated (cheaper than Earth land for sure) - and other weird and wonderful documents such as the Venusian Constitution and Bill of Rights!!
So you can see, whether futuristic or resolutely old-school, all your loved ones can receive fantastic presents this year, all designed to fulfill their dream - and make you the toast of the town in the process!

Funny T-shirts
Funny T-shirts - although they're not necessarily funny 'ha-ha' (though sometimes they might be). Usually they're T-shirts fused with a subtle, sophisticated, ironic humour (we hope) - the kind of jokes where you say "that's funny" without actually laughing (see also: mid-period Woody Allen). Because, let's be honest, you don't need complete strangers coming up and guffawing at the lowest common-denominator gag on your tee. Frankly, it would be inconvenient. (Don't get us wrong, we love lowest common-denominator humour - The Two Ronnies' Phantom Raspberry Blower is OK with us, it's just that we don't want him on our T-shirts.)
Face it, lots of funny tees are pretty stinky. They're adorned with naff or bawdy or slutty or misogynistic or vulgar slogans (that are not going to get you a date - ever). Or - even worse - you've got comic tees that perform mischievous wordplay with famous corporate logos (Ford and McDonalds becoming - quite unhilariously - swear words.) Not funny.
Other funny tees that often have perilous consequences are the TV comedy-show tee-shirt tie-ins. The first question to ask: why would any individual feel the need to inform complete strangers that they are avid fans of the cult sci-fi comedy, Red Dwarf? (This is a trick question, because there really is no satisfactory answer.)
Of course, it's perfectly healthy - commendable, even - to enjoy Family Guy, Little Britain and The League of Gentlemen, but beware when purchasing their branded tees. How many adults cringe into cramps when they think back to their Mary Whitehouse Experience "Milky Milky" and "That's you, that is!" tee-shirts? (Lots do - count on it.) So remember, kids: watch TV, don't wear it!
So are we at Split the Atom any better? Well, we like to think that our comedy tees fly in the face of these tacky tshirts - they're funny without losing the cool. Wearing a Split the Atom tee-shirt is akin to telegraphing those in your vicinity that, yes, you do have a highly sophisticated sense of humour and, no, you are not a clod. When you wear a Split the Atom tee, it's like having a neon sign above your head that says, "I'm jovial, erudite and the perfect candidate to pursue a mature and highly sexual relationship with," which can't be bad.
