BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / So what would YOU give Sherlock for Christmas?

**Posted by besleybean** October 9, 2012 7:05 am

Any book by Christopher Hitchens, but probably his autobiography.

Great choice!

Still can't look at pix of him without crying, I miss him so much it hurts.

Ancient Hebrew isn't that difficult to decipher - I learnt it within a few weeks.
Considering that even an ancient Chinese dialect wasn't a big problem for Sherlock you would have to choose something more complicated than this to please him...

You must be a genius then, because I'm trying to learn the current Hebrew and I still can't figure it out. >_<

But in England these days that would be not a good idea, my relatives there cold not laugh when I showed mine.

No, a Pocket Irene.

I would give him a nice task he can deal with until next Christmas: "Find the squaring of the circle."

Am I the only one who, whenever I get to that scene, I have to pause due to the awkwardness of it? It's litterally too much awkwardness for me to bear.

Having said that, I would buy him a fridge.

**Posted by besleybean** February 23, 2013 2:47 pm

He's got one of those!
But yeah I agree, very awkward all round!
I would give him a book by Christopher Hitchens.

A Pocket John, of course. Oh wait, what about red pants. He'll love it.

I would have thought people on a Sherlock fansite would be more... perceptive. Of course he's got one. In which he constantly stashes severed body parts of deceased people along with edible stuff. John and Mrs. Hudson would be very thankful for two fridges don't you think? One for Sherlock's experimants and one for food.

**Posted by besleybean** February 23, 2013 4:32 pm

Well Mrs H has her own fridge, but I guess we could ask John!

**Posted by Sparrow** February 23, 2013 4:35 pm

Yeah, but she does the shopping for the boys. And cleaning. She uses their fridge quite a lot.

Well, I dressed as Christmas Glamour Fail Molly for a Halloween party, and my present contained a gruesomely realistic latex replica of a human heart (which I had lots of fun showing off to unsuspecting partygoers who asked "What's in the box?"). After all, what more symbolic gift could a socially awkward pathologist bestow? :D Only hers would be the real thing, of course, on account of her morgue access.

I'd like to give hm a book to add to his collection.

**Posted by nicbooful** May 27, 2013 7:03 am

I'd like to give him me....but I'd also need to drug him first to get my wicked way with him x

**Posted by Davina** May 27, 2013 7:10 am

No ruffies on this forum!

**Posted by SusiGo** May 27, 2013 7:23 am

I'd like to give him a really nice set of Tupperware boxes for his body parts. Complete with little stickers which of course he's never going to use.

**Posted by Mary Me** May 27, 2013 3:29 pm

Some shirts in various shades of purple.

**Posted by Punch me in the face** May 27, 2013 4:47 pm

THIS!

And then I'd just wait for him to yell at me

**Posted by Harriet** May 27, 2013 5:54 pm

LOL, lovely and probably wasted
