UK Crisp Packets Book
A whole book of empty crisp packets, from Salt 'n' Shake to Space Raiders.
Built from the cult Instagram account @ArtButMakeItSports, this is one of those rare gifts that lands equally for the dad who only watches Match of the Day and the friend who did an art history A-level. Each spread pairs an iconic sports photograph with the painting, sculpture or fresco it accidentally re-stages — Caravaggio meets a goalkeeper, Bernini meets an NBA centre, Michelangelo meets a man being elbowed in the face.
176 hardback pages. The coffee-table book that Christmas-Day visitors will actually pick up rather than politely ignore.
A gift for: the brother-in-law who is genuinely difficult to buy for and has, for the third year running, said “honestly, just don’t bother”.
Same flavour of weird, different shape.
