When

jonquil posted a link to this item, I knew it would be the perfect Valentine's Day gift for the boy. He agreed. I have no idea what that says about either of us. :D

I'd been taunting the boy with the info that I'd got him the perfect gift and viciously not telling him what it was, but that he'd know when it was delivered. One day he phoned me up and said he had a shiny toy and thanked me. I asked how the fizzers worked, and he was "Huh?" We eventually worked out that the company had sent the wrong item - a plain old sonic screwdriver, instead of one that dispensed bath fizzers. Which TOTALLY spoiled the entire joke.* So I sent a irate email to the company asking to return it for the correct product or to have my credit card credited for the difference in price. The next morning I got a notification that another item had been sent out. The boy received it today and confirms that yes, it's the correct product, and yes it is, indeed, the perfect gift.

I'm still annoyed as fuck about the mixup, but oh well.

And here we have a photo he took of one of the components of this sonic screwdriver bath gift set:

I think the look on Tennant's face makes it.

* The boy is a fan of both Doctor Who and bath stuff** (to the point of making his own soap, with lye and everything).

** I almsot wrote "bathing" there, which puts a whole new spin on the sentence.

The look TOTALLY makes it.

Who looks at a screwdriver and thinks, "This could be a bit more sonic?"

I need a Who icon! Can you make me one the next time you're procrastinating?

Though I don't think it's possible to create a better icon than the one you have up now.

I dunno: "Doctor Who: Intergalactic Cleansing Agent" has a certain je ne sais quois. XD

I'll see what I can do when I can. :)

I had no idea he made soap. Wow.

Yup. Not the wussy way of getting premade bars and melting them down to add scent and color, but the manly way with lye and lard and stuff like that. He says it's not really making soap unless there's a chance of lye burns in it. XD
