I don't mind possessing bubble bath, but I think of it as a boring, necessary thing, not a luxury, so getting it for Christmas would be rather similar to getting a bottle of ketchup for Christmas, or a four-pint carton of milk.

Why is it, by the way, that cooking is still seen as a female thing, when most chefs are men - or so it seems to me, from my position of extreme ignorance about such things.
