Niece-as much as I hate gift cards you can't go far wrong with a H & M card or Zara or similar with a half decent amount on it (ie not a fiver)

Nephew 16- designer socks/boxers etc? Anything with 'Superdry' written on it?

Shall I buy Private Eye Subscription for ddad even though he has cancer?

(spose it might encourage him to keep going knowing that his gift is going to keep giving for a whole year?)

What can members of my family buy for 7 y/o ds?
