I've bought Rock Band for the Nintendo Wii, I have also bought the AC/DC software to go with it.


Guess who will be rocking the living room come Christmas evening?  

Gawd, I really must start thinking about this and get as much done this month as I can **groan**...

I've got my Cousins Sons to buy for but they just want jeans, jumpers and some arty crafty things...Next for the clothing

My Friends Son is 14 on the 29th Dedember, I like to seperate his Christmas and Birthday gifts, I have no idea what to get him, though I have bough him one already..The Guinness Book of Records...I have bought him this every year since he was about 5!!! It's abit on an 'in' joke with us now, guess what's in the wrapping???? He loves it though.

I've already bought the OHs, a new XBox 360 & Halo 3 ODST, I gave it him last week as he was grumpy as the rings of death had appeared on his AGAIN and I couldn't see the point in spending £30 to get it repaired AGAIN...he's done, cost me £170!!!!

I have my Mum, Dad, Sisters, Auntie & Uncle also to buy for and I'm stuck!!!

I'm stuck what to get my mum aswell, cos every year she gets earrings
I usually end up taking her shopping with a budget of 100 quid or whatever, but this year I'd like to do summat a little bit different and get her summat different. I'm not particularly flush this year so a holiday is out of the question. Then I was thinking maybe a meal at her favourite restaurant but that's hardly a present is it? And the only reason I'm going for the eye toy for the boy is cos he mentioned it a couple of days ago. Arrrggghhh!

for the person you have to buy for but really don't like......here are some of the gems my mum-outlaw has got me....

a roll of cellotape
a cellotape holder
1 tea towel with a picture of corfe castle on it
a jamie oliver dvd that was free with a sunday newspaper

i'm feeling the lurrrrrrrrve.......not.........

what about a pamper day for your mum karms?.....or is she not into that sort of stuff?

My Mum and Dad are so hard to buy for, I thought maybe if my Sisters and I (3 of us) put in the same amount of money, say £100 each for each of them, that way they have £300 each to sepnd on what they like. My Mum can waste it on tat and my Dad at the pub

The same with Auntie Pauline & Uncle Frank (they are really my Godparents but we have alway called them AUntie & Uncle). This will be their first Christmas without their Granddaughter, she died from meningitus in January, only 7....and as they have always looked out for us i really want to get them something special.  They are quite well off and have everything they need, so I was thinking maybe a lovely Hamper from John Lewis or even M&S (Auntie Paulines favourites shop). They like M&S food and we could get them a really decent one between the 3 of us...what do you think?

I find my Mum the hardest to buy for, this year I've bought her a digital picture frame, and I've been scanning loads of old pictures on to a memory card ready for when i give it to her.

My mother is normally a nightmare to buy for as she is allergic to EVERYTHING!  Anyway this year I have the perfect gift, we were out shopping the other week and she was eyeing some shoes that she would never buy for herself, so I'm going to get them for her.  Mr Cinds is getting the watch he has wanted for a long time.  Master Cinds is getting a new PC, built to order, aimed more towards gaming.

My sister is doing that for our Mam this year, great idea!

Karms, I'd really like that, but I'm a total foodie type If she likes that sort of thing then its def worth thinking about.

Spa day for you and her? Last minute have some ace offers

I need to think of birthday pressies for my dad and brother in November before I think about Christmas properly That said I have 2 pressies for B (well, they were leftover b/day ones) and he saw a jumper he liked last week in Gap I might get, and I have my mam's already... well, part of it

you'll love it cinds me mum and sis have great fun on it. im hoping someone buys me the beatles one

I like that Nintendo Pet I've already had a request for one.

I'm being scrooge this year telling everyone I'm too skint to buy presents bah humbug!

I need to buy something for my niece as her birthday is 2 days after xmas and I always get her separate pressies.

i always buy a present for my cousin hes just 12 do you think the guiness book of records would be a good present for his age or is that just boring, its on offer in asda for 9 quid i think

Thanks for the suggestion lovely peoples! She hates people fiddling with her hair or feet (she cringes when I say I'm off for a pedicure :laugh so a spa day, although great for me, wouldn't be her idea of fun. She likes fiddly household stuff like teapots and ducks (not real ones) but I can hardly go 'ho ho ho! here's a lovely teapot!' just dont feel right


If anyone has any good websites they can put a linkage to that would be great aswell

I buy that for my Friends Son every year as part of his pressie, he loves it...last year I bought him all sorts of stuff and he still spent all Christmas Day looking through the book

He's 14 in December BTW...loves boring us with his factaloids out of the book

great idea, we usually get it every other year for my youngest who's 13. He reads it constantly.

thanks devil and rzb thats 1 present sorted then

I don't suppose my Mum will add to the memory card Cinds. but it's been great fun going through all the old pictures.

http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/ is a good website for daft stuff if you've got kids or 40 year olds who haven't grown up to buy for....
