My Doctor Who secret santa sent me a sweet TARDIS mug and a super-awesome Dalek reading light! Both very useful gifts, in fact, they've both been used already.

My flatmates didn't understand the mug, so I can feel all smug and elite about it. I've urged them to watch Doctor Who now, so maybe this gift even creates more Whovians! And, equally important, the mug is also an excellent holder of tea and other beverages!

The reading light makes for an awkward mix of feelings when reading. One the one side it's a Dalek sitting there, the pinnacle of destructiveness right next to you. On the other side, it's cozily reading your book with you..
