What might I like for Christmas that will be really easy for my dad to get?

[Sadik]

Needs to be easy to buy online as he's not got transport & is elderly. Usually I'd ask for a book, but I've got a good pile at the moment plus I've just been given a £30 book token. I don't do smellies or make-up & clothes are tricky.

(Neither of us are really big on presents, but we recently lost my mum & I know he'd like to get me something. DD can act as intermediary but also not old enough to drive!)

What do you enjoy doing?

Reading, hanging out with friends, outdoorsy stuff. I'm quite boring!

Christmas hamper?
Films/box set?
Board game?

And what sort of budget?

Hmm, maybe he'd like to get me a new cycling jacket. Should be easy from Wiggle or somewhere

Itison voucher?
Cinema voucher

Maybe £20 - £50?

Unhelpfully there are things I'd like, but they're all either awkward to get or I know will remind him of mum & make him sad(der) :(

Cyclewear sounds good, or cycling or outdoorsy accessory of some kind?

My local asda gets deliveries from a load of retailers, eg decathalon.

Anything you need for the house/work/daily life? Eg I love my non leak commuter mug/flask and posh lunch bag! Posh china mugs. Nice notebooks/diary.

Food hamper.
Wine/Baileys/Gin.
Alexa.
Bird box.

Sorry about your mum. He’ll feel sad anyway, so if there’s something you like and would be reasonable for him to organise wouldn’t rule those things out.

But - I've just been struck by inspiration. I've got a couple of pictures I'd love to have framed, and dad has a friend who is a framer :)

Wellies.
Something for the garden.
Kitchen gadget (coffee grinder, pestle and mortar, electronic scale, camembert baker, or many other things.
Alexa - or smart plugs that can be controlled by Alexa if you already have one.

So sorry about your mum. Would it be a possibility for your Dad to get something you could do together like a meal out or something like that?

Have you got a Kindle? The frames sound really good, though.

That sounds good!
