Acey Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Nightmare, guys. I got a letter a few days ago from a website that I'd ordered my mum's Xmas present from (earrings, before the filthy jokes start flying). Thinking it was just an order confirmation, I didn't read it. I've just read it now, and it says that they've run out of stock, and therefore won't be delivering the item! I'm facing the prospect of having to tell my mum that her eldest son has not got her anything for Christmas, which - as I'm sure we can all agree - is a disowning waiting to happen. Any real/funny suggestions? NB: I will not be getting anyone/anything pumped, so you can keep your awful chat to yourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather face going out shopping than have to tell my mum that I didn't have anything for her christmas. I thought that would be obvious, especially for such an intelligent chap like yourself.

Boaby Prentice Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Not starting shopping till after work tomorrow, so what's the rush? I suppose it?s all budget related. Internet will still afford you time to shop. Interflora before 4pm will allow a delivery of flowers on Christmas day. Sponsor an animal at the Zoo (not sure if they send you the certificate electronically) Make a donation to charity on her behalf, they do send a certificate on reply. Shopping is still an option as the 24th is usually quiet (in the afternoon). A Christmas or other hamper from Marks or Jenners. Vouchers for her favourite shop or restaurant. Unfortunately Jewellery are the shops that are usually busy on Christmas Eve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a few hours before I hit the boozer so need to come up with something quickly. What are you wanting from Santa, Shaunyboy? Hmph. Nothing. I haven't had anything from Santa for years. It's cool though: I grew out of it years back now, and am quite looking forward to Christmas. One idea you might keep in mind for a future present for your Mum or any grandparent is this: there are these electronic gadgets you can get now which play slide shows of all the photos of you and any siblings you might wish to include. My gran's always pestering us for photos: someone bought her one of these contraptions, and she loved it. Might be the kind of gift which suits someone older than your Mum though.
