SIL has asked for vouchers. Thing is she is wadded.

[swottybetty]

I mean bonkers rich. Now while I do buy vouchers for people like my sister so she can buy something she wouldnt get to buy for herself without them, it seems silly to get them for SIL.

BUT it's what she has for in our annual wishlist round email. I dont want to fill her house with clutter she doesnt want. And I think maybe she said vouchers for this very reason. I am a tiny bit annoyed. We do similar emails round dh's family where the av cost is a tenner and i make sure i give a few good leads priced about right.

Should I just bite the bullet and buy the vouchers?

There is a trilogy of books I think she would love that I am v tempted with (tho nervous buying a trilogy rather than just the first book in series....) FWIW i have bought her books three times before and she's loved each one. she's the only person i know who loves teen fiction like i do [lowbrow emoticion]

actually, i am just going to buy the books.

sorry to waste your time guys writing it all down sorted it out in my head.

Guessing you're buying Twilight - lowbrow teen fiction in a trilogy

If you are well off it can be hard to give present ideas to people who are less well off, because you tend to buy what you need throughout the year. So maybe she has suggested vouchers because she can't think of anything she needs.

Anyway it's a wishlist, not a contract. You can still buy her whatever you want. If you have an idea for something you think she'd love, then definitely get her that.

otori books by lian hearn. best thing since pullman . for twighlight book i would have done my [really lowbrow emotcion]

Very greedy and vulgar to ask for vouchers. Vouchers may as well be cash.

People with everything should be honest about that and ask you to donate to charity instead, IMO!

give her an apple and orange for her Christmas. That's ridiculous asking for vouchers.

I'd rather have the money personally but I'd never openly say that to anyone!lol. Grateful for whatever I receive.

If you would normally buy her a present for about £10, then just get her a book token for the same amount.

If however, you normally get the presents/books cheaper and pass them off as more expensive like me it's a bit more tricky

Don't really see the problem with asking for vouchers though- especially as you all usually have a wish list.

I understand asking for vouchers as I have little imagination and don't like clutter. However, I would much prefer the books. It's lovely that you know her taste. Plus books are easy to drop off at the charity shop if you don't like them
