Christmas Gift Suggestion Please?

[magsmay]

For my eldest sons girlfriend of 2 years age 23 - last year she was very unimpressed with what I thought was a nice fragrant oil burner from Next. I'm stumped on this one as she is a bit of an ungrateful madam but they are coming Christmas Eve to exchange pressies and I can't leave her out - a gift token is not an option as I know she just sells them on a web-site -and money is a bit 'off'. Any ladies (sorry females ) on here about the same age- what would be a good gift up to £25 in value please?

for an ungrateful madam, I'd bung a tenner in her card and she (and son) should be grateful you remembered she existed.

Someone asked a similar q yesterday - a nice scarf was suggested - if you buy from M&S she can change it if she doesn't like it.

Buy her a couple of bags of cement, see how impressed she is with that

Hi magsmay, I agree with Alba, this young woman sounds like a proper little mare. Have you asked your son for inspiration ? Or make a donation to charity in her name. Oxfam .

[albaqwerty]

my first answer was a tad harsh, but I really can't be doing with ungrateful folk.

Do you have a craft shop near you? A nice photo frame perhaps?

Owd's suggestion is good.

[ChillDoubt]

A bag of pampering smellies i.e. bath oils, body moisturiser, that sort of stuff.


And if that doesn't suffice, she could always get..............





a life!

[magsmay]

@Alba LOL! my sentiments exactly -she's a nice enough girl but we are not on the same wave level when it comes to Taste -she's more New Look than New Age ;-)

[albaqwerty]

oh heck, I really meant Boxy's suggestion was good but on hindsight....
Owd's wasn't there when I typed, honest!

[magsmay]

again at Alba - inspiration! I will look into getting her a nice picture frame -saw some nice ones in TK Max - her dad is a photographer and they are always getting their photos taken -thanks!

[albaqwerty]

Mags, glad to have helped. our local craft shop has some really nice photo frames, all sizes shapes and flavours oh, and prices!!

[magsmay]

Thanks Desktop -some good suggestions there - she liked a scent from the bodyshop but they have stopped doing it or I would have got her that.

[owdhamer]

Well fumbled alba , but I am with you all the way, bad manners at least.

[beckersjay]

As a matter of interest, does she buy you a present and how much trouble did she go to to choose the last one.....?

[albaqwerty]

I like a fumble Owd, but Mrs Owd wouldn't be pleased :-) xx

The older alba's ex g-f (sniff) bought me a fridge magnet last Christmas (amongst other bits and pieces) We swapped silly gifts and had a good laugh. I miss her.

Mags, thank you for the besty xx

[magsmay]

@beckers -last year I got a Voucher for a large store from her and my son and a charm for my bracelet -I was very pleased as I put it towards a small sewing machine I'd had my eyes on. Think it was my Son that did the gift shopping though.

alba, I had an interesting little gift given to me yesterday by a certain ABer have a guess what it was lol.

[owdhamer]

Lol alba you have a gift, I m always ready for a fumble when Mrs Owd is out.

[albaqwerty]

sorry to digress Mags,


Tone, it must have been a little cuddly goat. :-) x

[tonyav]

Yes alba.
