For FUDGE eaters

for drinkeypoos types
these flowers

for bloke teachers - get a cinema voucher
( or love film gift thing)

fopr organic types get them this www.graze.com/gift

for teenagers with iphones get them smart gloves not very glam but hey - GAP.com have them but not in UK

for the man in your life get a Private eye subsicription - one of the most popular gifts ever here! a bargain

and remember the maxim

"I wil not buy a digital photo frame"

itunes/cash are good suggestions for thoughtful gift for teenager.

but need something that says grow up, you're one of the adults now.

Here's what I'm getting my FIL, not my cup of tea but he'll love it

belligerent I had a fabric wallhanging team chart thing tgatcyou velcroed teams onto for s1. Will look in a min

Dublin. Your motive is wrong. Just give the present and make your point via dhs gob

Ooh yes - that sounds ideal, Roland.

Beligerent- fantastic tip have sorted loads of gifts out!
another one for book fans esp female is

www.persephonebooks.co.uk/
quite unusual books and beautifully put together

re footie charts there is a fabric one

www.honeybeetoys.co.uk/football-league-table-tracker-fabric-wall-chart-p-214.html

or a magnetic one which I think is a bit smaller
www.thegeneraltoystore.co.uk/Magnetic-Football-Table-Chart/prod_88.html

Roland, thanks will check it out. And enclose receipt with gift!

I love the gloves but she already has some :( She is incredibly difficult to buy for - she's one of those people that will see something and then just buy it rather than waiting . Makes her sound awful but she's the best mum and has been really good to us this year just wish I had more to spend!!

this was our football one - you could buy new promotions to the league every summer!

scrappy this mum of yours.

where IS she?

Loving the charts - would prefer to buy instore somewhere though. Wonder if Waterstones might do the magnetic one?

Btw I haven't used the Literary Gift Company but I've seen it mentioned on blogs, in magazines - and I want everything from there!

oh just order online and get to it you moaner

No - I want to FEEL it first!

For mums and grandmas, try my mum's book! It's a very touching romcom with an intelligent 40something heroine and some naughty old people. Also available in largeprint and audiobook for them as needs it.

Another one for ladies: this album is amazing. Even old folk would like it.

For men and teenage boys, can't beat a Viz subscription. Keeps them sniggering away in a corner and out of your hair for hours.

For men with a naughty sense of humour, Hound Dog by Richard Blandford is possibly the most shockingly funny book they'll have read ever.

For 30something rock fans, his other book Flying Saucer RocknRoll will take you right back to school in the 90s.

god no one buy me that album

Wiki, those flowers look -poncetastically good- great. A definite possibility for some of the older -boozers-- female relatives in my family.

If you've got a pregnant friend and a bit of wedge (or are up the duff and want it for yourself for Xmas) Clarins body oils are on discount at John Lewis. Biol Oil Schmio oil.

I've bought this for the geeky father and son in my life.

fuck strikethrough!

sharongless try some local NZ gift baskets- some really good Xmas ones here with delivery all over New Zealand:
