Second message has a few links and info which I’ll slowly build up, let me k ow if there’s anything you’d like me to add to it [thanks

Thanks @TittyBoneGhoul have ordered

The Lottie doll canoe is on Amazon lightning deals at the moment for £12 (£35 usually).

@ecofreckle how old is MIL? damart have some but not to everyone's taste!

@imsorryiasked she is a young ish 59. I married a man 10 years my junior so she's not actually that much older than me To my knowledge damart is thermals and sensible, I'll take a look. Thanks for the idea though.

Thanks everyone! I think that's me done now! Only presents left are for MIL and FIL (which DH does as he knows them better) and obviously me from DH.

Now to avoid the twitch!

I need ideas please. On a very unchristmassy subject, I have recently found out my bloody brain tumour has returned after just 3 years. My specialist nurse has been amazing and has gone above and beyond to pull me off the floor and get meetings in place with a plan of action. I want to get her something really lovely to show her how much I appreciate her support (and calm replies to my frantic 3am emails) Obviously, I don’t know her on a personal level so don’t know what she’s into so I’m not sure where to start. I just know it needs to be lovely. I’m still an avid bargain hunter and because I’ll be having surgery/radio/chemo in the new year, I won’t be working as much as I do now so need to really stockpile my next few wage packets.

So any ideas would be wonderful. I should add, I’m going for an appointment on Monday so need to have it by then 😱.

My mum is a nurse woah and loves burts bees, really helps lips and hands with all the washing and dry air. Sending you very best wishes for your treatment.

I'm sorry to hear that whoahbodyform. That's great that you have someone being proactive for you. What about a really beautiful Christmas tree decoration?

Yes, loads of Burts Bees on deals today.
Wishing you well Body xx

Thanks @TittyBoneGhoul and @leeloo1 for posting about the lightdagger and lottie canoe, two more presents bought, even though I said I was done about 2 weeks ago! Great offers.

WoahBodyforrrm

Brilliant thank you all! Glad to see Burts Bees recommenced more then once. I think I’ll go for that kit, a nice decoration and a big box of chocolates for her to share with the other staff in the department.

Thanks for all your well wishes, i’ve got 4 little ones to keep me going. There will be many more Christmas’ together for us all 🎅🏽🎄

Really sorry to hear that woah.

Worth bearing in mind that if she's NHS then she won't be able to accept anything of too much value. In my current trust we're not supposed to even accept chocolates (although people do). I think most people would be happy to accept a token gift though, and the ideas here are nice :)

Can anyone recommend over ear headphones for under 30 pounds for a teenager please.

Woah

Any suggestions for 16 and 18 year old girls? I might just do vouchers. It not sure where for H&M? Top Shop? What make up brands are coveted by young’uns?!

My nails Inc crackers have arrived and they’re lovely, so sparkly!! Thanks to whoever posted the link, can’t imagine having paid £66 for them though.

I’m looking for a personalised blanket for under £20 if anyone can help. All the ones I’ve seen are baby blanket sized or look crap quality. They need to be single bed sized.

Woah I’m so sorry to hear that. I can vouch for burts bees, I’ve lived everything I’ve bought from them.

Btw Ocado have save 1/3 on a lot of the burts bees range atm

Pinecone8 will get you £10 off at Bloom and Wild. They have lovely trees!

Good luck woah
