She isnt a close relative so wouldnt go to the expense of Nano's etc. Was thinking nails etc but does that seem boring, was actually thinking of this. Does this seem ok or is she going to not use it.

id buy her posh bubble bath before a nail set

Hhhhhmmm was thinking about a gift voucher but (and this is going to sound very mean), you have to buy a sunstancial amount to make it look good where as if you actually buy a present they dont know how much it cost.

Given I have just given her my beloved pram and I am making up a baby box for her I am being mean with Xmas.

Perfume is the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the thread title.

MascaraOHara · 14/11/2008 22:03

A pamper box from lush.. and you can buy one to fit your budget

singyswife · 14/11/2008 22:45

Okay so you have given me ideas for her, what about my 82 yo grandad who has EVRYHTING.

See he is not like other grandads and does not go out. Also his wife has just died so not too sure about photos. he doesnt smoke and doesnt drink much. Basically he is an akward old bugger but I love him.
