Christmas Present ideas for the whole family

[Thomcat]

You didn't think I was giving out ideas doid you?!!! Oh no, I need them.

Lotie is sorted really, so is D, it's present ideas for the SIL, step brother, aunt, you know that kind of thing.

So anyone got any great ideas, or good websites for present ideas?

Or just tell me wht you're getting people and inspire me.

LiveAid DVDs for BILs
New William Shatner CD (! - ironic present) also for BIL
L'Occitane stuff (smelly candles, lovely hand creams etc) for maiden auntie
Cashmere scarf (from wwww.brora.co.uk - gorgeous stuff but a bit pricey) for MIL

A bit stuck for my mum & dad and sister but am surfing madly for ideas (can't bear the shops!). My BIL always get me a naff autobiography as a 'funny' present which I think is a real laugh (to date have got Richard & Judy, Rolf Harris, Posh Spice, Jordan, Ulrika).

One year for my Dad we bought him a digital box so he can get all the free channels. The wouldnt pay out for sky and all the other stuff but he loves have the extra channels now, esp the History and news channels. Good for some parents or elder relative who need a bit of modernising. For elderly relatives why not get gas/phone stamps or pay TV licence stamps, I think they still do them. Cant go wrong with the Body Shop for SIL's or perhaps if they have kids Touche Eclat for the dark circles under their eyes. Lord of the Rings boxed set (3 discs) is on sale on Amazon for £19.99 at moment. Estee Lauder perfume is good too....then you can buy that special make up offer they have every year for £35.00 and give that too someone else.

Here, in no particular order are some ideas for websites where you might find pressies (don't say I never do anything for you now )

Graham and Green - luxury gifts

Coconut Shy for handmade paper books/stationery

7day shop - all sorts of camera-y computer-y things, really cheap.

One Village nice ethnic-y things

Gizmo and Widget - don't be put off by the many utterly ghastly things on here, there are a few gems.

Pedlars - the strangest mix, but some lovely stuff (if it appeals I would order a catalogue, much easier to look through).

I haven't included the obvious ones like Amazon and Play. That's it for now, but I will keep thinking!

Just remembered another lesser-known but fab site for smellies: Arran Aromatics

Tamum, I totally love you, you rock! Hip hip horay for the fabulous Tamum , bloody fab websites and I'll be shopping while drinking a glass of wine and toasting you, you wonderful woman! Any more websites that you can think of will only add to my joy!

M&S are doing really good calendars that you can add your photos to, so I have got several of those for rellies.

WhSmith website is good, I've ordered a big 350 jigsaw of my two for in-laws.

M&S also doing sets of 3 story tapes for small children, which are really good value.

Don't forget Boots and WHsmith with their 3 for 2 offers.

Crocus website good for gardeny people.

Aaah, anyone else done no shoppinga t all yet???

Gluttinous gardener have some lovely stuff

Really second the wacky but wonderful Pedlars, have you also tried Jo Malone Thomcat.
