Christmas Lucky Dip

We have a Christmay Day tradition of sharing small presents in a `Lucky Dip'. This means that we are all spared the agony of trying to think of presents for each adult member of the family. (We're more conventional when buying for the children though!) It's developed into a bit of fun as everyone places their presents in the middle of the room and we all take turns to choose until they are all gone. If you've got something that you really don't want or need you then try to trade with someone else. I did quite well today - one folding umbrella which I needed because I'd lost my last one, one chocolate orange, one set of watercolour paints and a cooking apron which I'll use to cover up when I'm printing - I traded this with my sister for a packable bag.

The shells are for my mum. We spent many happy hours with her in Australia collecting shells on the beach, so we collected these during our last trip in November. Small treasures and a lucky dip on their own. Which shell would you choose?
