Im easy pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird (also early 20's) - Watch, perfume, chocolates. He doesn't. His main interests are the trades. He loves building/making stuff. No point buying him any of these DIY kits or anything either as he has loads of good quality tools as it is. Probably get him some sort of shirt/top I suppose. My missus doesn't tend to wear perfume. Shes the most difficult lassie to buy for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Whittaker's Tache Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Me and Mrs BWT are on a ?30 budget this year for ourselves because I'm skint as I'm effectively still on the dole and the pair of us agreed Xmas shopping spending is beyond a joke. (Stories of folk spending ?1800 on their kids is just mental and makes me feel sick) She's getting a Cameo Season ticket (Two person one is ?42 so theoretically within budget) and her favourite chocolates, chocolate covered chrystallised ginger homemade by me (found a recipe online) I was hoping for a PS3 but I have no idea what I'm actually getting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shes the most difficult lassie to buy for. What about a nice tie or watch for your dad (depending on budget)? Cufflinks, Hearts gear if he's a right-thinking gent (DVD, strip, book).

"Ooooh, thaaaat's awful nice, what do you think?" and similar chat. Otherwise, I would go according to her interests - favourite writer, TV series, style of clothes, makeup, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currahee! Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I don't really want anything. I've got everything I need. But I know I will get the usual like the Broons and the Viz. And socks and boxer shorts. But if I came downstairs on Xmas morning and I had nothing I wouldn't be bothered. As long as my daughter is happy with what she get's I'll be happy.

ANY IDEAS? today is my last opportunity to go out and get stuff. Don't forget to leave her the obligatory picture of your bell-end, or alternatively for that seasonal shot, squeeze your package back through your closed legs, fully extend your arm backwards and take her one entitled "the last turkey in the shop at Christmas".

Maybe some of these fancy creams and **** that are supposed to help your skin and stuff. For your dad, some nice cheeses. There's a few shops in town, one in stockbridge(the name escapes me, if this interests you I can find out) and other expensive foods. Last of all, little extras.

Father has got some drill bits and pieces. Makita brand so I know he will use them. Missus some DVDs and things along with digital camera accessories.

Creepy Lurker Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I'm not overly bothered about what I get for Christmas. Cheesy as it sounds, I actually prefer giving presents than receiving them. As I'm back home from uni over the next couple of months and can't use the uni gym, my mum's helped pay for my gym membership back here for the next two months. That does me fine.

Kyle Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 A pair of shearling-lined L.L. Bean rubber moccasin boots. Crazy warm and super easy to slip on and off, so I can quickly change in and out of my dress shoes when going to and from the office. As I approach thirty in years, it's funny the stuff I get excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
