Any ideas? So far they have posh Swedish licorice; a book related to their A levels ('cos I'm FUN MUM); and a cute plushie ('cos I'm FUN MUM).

I'll add smellies, pants and socks. And LOTS of food/drink. But anyone got a killer idea for something more... gifty?

Just asked DH your question and he said "go to CEX and buy a cheap PlayStation game". Hope that helps :)
