to be buying Xmas presents this late? Help!

[GorgeousGrape]

I am at my mums and tkmaxx is the only shop within 10 miles of her (Tesco and Asda too but they're not exactly great for pressies).

What can I buy for two blokes in their 50s, both extremely intelligent (mensa intelligent), love cycling, both doctors, both travel widely (usually cycling through mountains somewhere), both festival goers, both readers who I would describe as 'normal but alternative'?

What the bloody hell do tkmaxx sell that I can buy them for Christmas (never been there)??

Help!

Can't you get them some posh vodka or gin from the supermarket?

With tkmax it’s more a case of what do they have at the time. You can’t really plan ahead with them. Go and have a look and if you really can’t find anything then socks/alcohol/food from Tesco would be my back up.

Cashmere hat and gloves
Headphones
Merino sweater
Tk always have a bike gadget stand too

If they drink alcohol, I'd get them a nice bottle of spirits from the supermarket. Maybe a book or two each too. Much better than some random tat from the jumble sale that is TK Maxx.

Is tkmaxx really awful? I've never stepped foot in one...

Yeah I'd go for some nice vodka/gin.

I love Tk maxx. I got DP a leather wallet from there. They had loads of xmas gifts

Go to Asda or Tesco, you can get stuff in there that'll be fine, there's a nice looking ordnance survey quiz book that would probably appeal to your type of recipient

This, it's certainly available in our local Sainsbury's, or do you have amazon prime?

A nice reusable water bottle.

Tkmaxx sells left over discounted stock from other retailers so sometimes it's great bargains sometimes it's useless. The supermarkets will be way better. Booze, chocs, socks, paperback books.....

TK Maxx is brilliant, you can get some amazing bargains!

Don't try, get them a small box of chocolates/bottle of wine so they can open something, then a wiggle voucher each. (Online Bike stuff shop).

Can you order from amazon?

What about Schott's Original Miscellany book?

(I recommend this to everyone - ‘it’s awesome!)

Get them a couple of really nice wine/gin/whisky glasses in TK Maxx (it’s good for that sort of thing) and a nice bottle of the appropriate alcohol from the supermarket.

Or subscription to Cyclist magazine? Think you can do that completely online and just print out.
