James Bond News: ❄️🍸December 2017
Published: Tue, 12/05/17
If you're anything like me I have a tough time this time of year trying to think of presents for my family. I can go out shopping and come back with nothing. Or spend hours online and still not have anything sorted.
Because of that I thought it might be a good idea to put together a James Bond gift guide for this final newsletter of the year.
If you need to buy a gift for a Bond fan, or - more likely since you're subscribed to the newsletter - if you are a Bond fan who wants to give someone an idea of what to buy YOU then I hope you find it useful.
If you do it would be great if you can LIKE or SHARE it on Facebook or whatever social media you use.
Click here for the 007 Christmas gift guide. I really hope it's useful.
For the latest articles and news see the section below my signature, but the big news for most Bond fans is that Barbara Broccoli hopes to announce Bond 25 director next year.
There are constant rumours but nothing concrete yet. Unless I get some solid info there is no point in sharing.
Finally, whatever your faith is I wish you, your family and friends a very Happy Christmas. I hope you get a chance to take some time off, put your feet up and eat too much turkey. I know I certainly will!
I'll be back in early 2018 with the January newsletter.
Until then,
PS Here's that link again. I hope it's useful:
