Mum:

Rambling socks that only need to be washed once a week, or something (Perilla).

Set of three cake storage tins.

Cushion to go with new rug and sofa.

Countryfile calendar.

Some other thing, probably slightly luxurious.

Dad:

Oxfam goat.

Green peace sweatshirt with something hilarious (not hilarious) printed on it.

(He hates Christmas, and gifts, so that's his lot).

BestisWest I don't think there is a foolproof one when it comes to my mum but I've been trawling the customer reviews on Argos and will buy one that said it was easy to use and even mentioned being good for elderly (I can't remember which one it was now but it was a single handset one with an answerphone)

Mum - bee hotel, I need to get her something to go with it.
Step dad - salt lamp
Dad and his partner - a hamper and a dvd ( they are loaded and hard to buy for ).

We agreed to get them gardening vouchers but so everyone has something wee to open on the day we’re also doing a £10 challenge for each person between me, DH, DM and DF

Mum is getting an Amazon Fire stick as she loves gadgets, plus a bloom advent calendar. Also might get her a voucher to get her nails done. I don’t buy for my dad. My step dad is getting a for fox sake mug and a jumper.

MIL is getting a copy of our wedding album as she asked for one and something else small, maybe a scarf. Sadly FIL isn’t around anymore.
