Reader John Libby reckons he has found the ultimate online gift shop.
It's www.roopooco.com.
The True Blue Roo Poo Company, he feels, offers a unique range of Australian souvenirs - ideal for Christmas, birthdays and anniversaries.
Among the very attractive items on offer, for example, is
"genuine roo poo - direct from the outback to you."
The product is
"harvested in the Australian bush from contented Kangaroos" promises the web site."
"We do the packaging but the kangaroos do most of the work. A 100 per cent organic Australian giftware product. No additives, no preservatives and no bulls--t."
Other products include Tassie devil poo paperweights and koala poo earrings.
Comfortingly, every item comes with a warranty:
"We guarantee our products to be absolute shit or your money back."
But what, you ask, would lead any company to believe there is a market for these, er, eminently disposable items ?
"Our accountant told us we were in deep s--t, so we thought we'd make the best use of what was around us,"
explains the web site.
A fine philosophy: I shall pass it on to the PM.

Website offers gilded Tasmanian devil dung
An Australian website is encouraging people to buy gilded Tasmanian devil dung by mail order.
The True Blue Roo Poo Company also sells a range of other poo products such as jars of kangaroo poo and koala poo earrings.
The firm says its unique products are ideal for men who have everything such as Bill Gates, The Sultan of Brunei and Donald Trump.
It promises: "We guarantee our products to be absolute sh*t or your money back."
The website at www.roopooco.com says the poo is "harvested in the bush from contented Australian kangaroos".
There are even photographs illustrating various stages of the manufacturing process.

Poo for you
If you collect earrings or have an accessory-mad mate that you'd like to surprise, then take a look at the True Blue Roo Poo Company's range. The online firm offers a selection of rather
unusual products which are made from dried animal dung that's been lovingly collected from across Australia. The range, which includes Tasmanian Devil poo paperweights, jars of kangaroo poo and oh-so-demure koala poo earrings, is reasonably priced and the site offers
recommended reading for the poo connoisseur to make sure that you know good shit when you see it.
