As my family and friends know, I love my Corrie. I therefore often find myself receiving Coronation Street themed Christmas gifts. This is mostly welcome (DVD of A Knight's Tale excluded), however it can get a little predictable. I have one friend who spends the pre-Christmas build up scouring the internet for weird, wonderful and down right strange Corrie trinkets and collectables to brighten up my Christmas morning.
Feeling the urge to spend some money on things I don't need I picked up a couple of great Corrie themed gifts for myself this morning - a copy of Jean Alexander's (Hilda Ogden) autobiography, entitled The Other Side of the Street, as well as H.V Kershaw's book The Street Where I Live. I can't wait to get stuck into both these books - who knows, some future blog posts may follow!
So as we approach the festive season I would love to hear from some Corrie fans on what memorable (good, bad and plain old tacky) Corrie gifts you have received in the past.
Also, what Coronation Street related paraphernalia would you love to find in your Christmas stockings this year? Who knows, your loved ones may be reading...
