That sounds like a lovely idea. Have a long on not on tbe high street too, lots of quirky gift ideas. I am getting mine a subscription to the craft fun club and tne new Bill Bryson book.

Blinking heck- meant craft gin club!

Book is also good idea, he liked Bill Bryson previous books. Saw a giant chocolate bauble today and some lovely caramelised almonds from Cottage Delight

He is getting a photo collage poster thingy of everyone, and then dp has chosen him some sport books saw a fishing knife he thought he'd like. As he isn't in the UK, I also tend to send him food goodies that he misses. Will box everything up and get it shipped, although I haven't actually started my Christmas shopping yet!

FIL's getting the new Geraint Thomas book, a chocolate iPhone, a magnetic tool that picks up heavy weights, a Scrabble cheat book and a portable charger for his phone that I've had engraved Smile

A bonsai tree!

Step dad is getting a portable charger for his ipad cos he travels a lot. It'll have grandpa on it cos him and my dd are thick as thieves. My dad is getting a hanging succulent terrarium thing. His cat eats all plants that aren't out of reach.

"Green-smelling" Lush soap. He asks for it for his birthday, Christmas and Fathers' Day! Grin

I'm getting my 85yo Dad the new Bill Bryson and a really good willow log basket on wheels.
I might get him a few nibbles to go with some wine in the evenings too.
My DSs always get him massive bags of bird seed/food, which he loves.

Fugghetaboutit · 01/11/2015 12:01

Nice ideas! Bill Bryson seems popular. Love the bonsai tree, my dad used to have one years ago, might see if I can find one!

Am trying to get mine a voucher for his favourite gastro-pub (it's the only place he and dm ever eat out), but unfortunately they haven't replied to my email about it, so may be back to the drawing board! Some good ideas on here.
