Merry Minion Christmas gifting ideas from the Minions

My Christmas gift to myself this year is an electric guitar to play my favourite rock ballads. Call me crazy, but when I saw this Rock N Roll Stuart Minion I wanted to have it straight away. My 10 year old son Diego seems to love him too. I thought he might be too old for this singing and dancing figure but it’s so hilarious that you fall in love with him. It’s in the same size of what…

I am right about it as last Summer at an Amazon party I tried  the ‘diving with…
