			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>&#8220;Oh yes, I&#8217;m inventing mostly.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>I wonder what the world would be like if Wallace&#8217;s inventions were commonplace?</p>
<p>For a start, we&#8217;d all be able to fly to the moon. I&#8217;d definitely fancy that.</p>
<p>Our home grown vegetables would be safe. Very important.</p>
<p>No one would ever have trouble getting out of bed. Useful, though perhaps not as much fun.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001GIOJC0?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=wwwgiftassist-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=19450&amp;creativeASIN=B001GIOJC0"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-126" title="51wi8fcskml_ss420_" src="http://www.giftassist.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/51wi8fcskml_ss420_-150x150.jpg" alt="51wi8fcskml_ss420_" width="150" height="150" /></a>Whilst pondering this paradise I started to think what gifts i could get Wallace, to show my appreciation for his life improving visions.</p>
<p>Figuring he&#8217;s going to be pretty well stocked for cheese, i started to think what else I know about him.</p>
<ul>
<li>He enjoys a nice cup of tea</li>
<li>He&#8217;s very close to his dog</li>
<li>He&#8217;s a homely man</li>
<li>He still uses a hair dryer, even though he no longer has hair</li>
<li>He&#8217;s a bit of a loser in love</li>
<li>He comes from Yorkshire</li>
<li>He&#8217;s a baker</li>
</ul>
<p>So which of these do you think Wallace would like?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gizoo.co.uk/Products/HomeGarden/Bathroom/TeaTool.htm"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-116" title="main" src="http://www.giftassist.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/main.jpg" alt="main" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong><a href="http://www.gizoo.co.uk/Products/HomeGarden/Bathroom/TeaTool.htm">TeaTool Tea Strainer</a></strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure Wallace would struggle with the idea of having to use a spoon to squeeze his tea bag.</p>
<p>So in true overkill style, along comes the TeaTool tea strainer to make his life easier.</p>
<p>The days of pressing the bag against the side of the mug are over.</p>
<p>Yep, once you&#8217;ve got used to this little gem there will be no going back.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bestofbreedgifts.co.uk/beagle-silk-tie-by-alynn-p-33.html?osCsid=oc185op5jlnuo55qgt2gpluoq7"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-117" title="beati001m" src="http://www.giftassist.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/beati001m-150x150.jpg" alt="beati001m" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong><a href="http://www.bestofbreedgifts.co.uk/beagle-silk-tie-by-alynn-p-33.html?osCsid=oc185op5jlnuo55qgt2gpluoq7">Beagle Silk Tie</a></strong></p>
<p>Wallace is particularly fond of his red tie.</p>
<p>But there&#8217;s only so many times you can get away with wearing the same tie before it starts to be noticed.</p>
<p>So I recon Wallace will be made up with this fetching little number, featuring his beloved Beagle dog (Gomit&#8217;s breed, for the un-initiated)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.krittersinthemailbox.com/animals/dogs/beagles/cellholder.htm"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-129" title="celhldr5f" src="http://www.giftassist.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/celhldr5f-150x150.jpg" alt="celhldr5f" width="150" height="150" /></a>Not sure about the Beagle tie?</p>
<p>OK, how about the <strong><a href="http://www.krittersinthemailbox.com/animals/dogs/beagles/cellholder.htm">Beagle Mobile Phone Holder</a></strong> then?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the height of usefulness and will fit in perfectly with the rest of Wallace&#8217;s decor.</p>
<p>Of course, it&#8217;s a prime candidate for a spot of Wallace modification.</p>
<p class="parseasinTitle"><span id="btAsinTitle"><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001N30364?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=wwwgiftassist-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=19450&amp;creativeASIN=B001N30364"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-122" title="51qf7jkxxl_sl500_aa280_" src="http://www.giftassist.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/51qf7jkxxl_sl500_aa280_-150x150.jpg" alt="51qf7jkxxl_sl500_aa280_" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001N30364?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=wwwgiftassist-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=19450&amp;creativeASIN=B001N30364">Fred Hot Head Dog Oven Mit</a></strong></span></p>
<p class="parseasinTitle">Yep, i&#8217;m not ready to give up the dog theme yet. Especially not when i saw these dog oven gloves.</p>
<p>Since Wallace recently changed careers to pursue his love of baking, you can bet he&#8217;s going through more than his fair share of oven gloves.</p>
<p>So he&#8217;ll be extra made up with these long lasting silicone mitts.</p>
<p class="parseasinTitle"><a href="http://www.bettysbypost.com/teaitem.asp?itmid=848"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-119" title="1c0f8aa0-8746-46d7-b510-e1e531ff50c7_main_yorkshiregiftbox270" src="http://www.giftassist.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/1c0f8aa0-8746-46d7-b510-e1e531ff50c7_main_yorkshiregiftbox270-150x150.jpg" alt="1c0f8aa0-8746-46d7-b510-e1e531ff50c7_main_yorkshiregiftbox270" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong><a href="http://www.bettysbypost.com/teaitem.asp?itmid=848">Taste of Yorkshire Gift Box</a></strong></p>
<p class="parseasinTitle">It may be called a gift box, but this is more like a survival kit for tea lover Wallace.</p>
<p>Featuring cake, biscuits and tea. Essentials to keep Wallace in full working order.</p>
<p>It even comes complete with a sharp looking Yorkshire Tea tea towel, so he can show his northern pride whilst drying the dishes. Result!</p>
<p>Yet another excuse to get the kettle on.</p>
<p>Can you think of any other gifts Wallace would like? <a href="http://www.giftassist.co.uk/blog/2009/05/what-would-wallace-want/#comments">Tell me here.<br />
