^ thats me most years. don't want that again, but got no ideas at all.
well, got 5 people (or sets of people) to buy for
mum
dad
brother (and his bird)
sister (and her husband)
and my bird Laura
laura's easy enough, so thats done
dad, just a small token thing, he's had his favourite mug he's always drank tea from for about the last 30 years, so i got him another
identical one last year. its from a set of 6, so was going to get him all 6 over time
just leaves the rest.
real problem is, mum and sister are cabin crew on the airlines, so they can get (read already got) anything they could ever want from all over the
place, and my brother does pretty well for himself too. not like me who's always poor lol
budget, not a huge amount, maybe £30 each

Ask them what they want.... simples.
They get what they actually want and not some random crap they throw in the bin 6months later.
You don't have the hassle of thinking.
I hate it when people waste money on crap, when they could of just asked and got me something i actually want.

I'm ignoring you mucky lot!
Some friends of mine have the best idea - they agree a budget, then he buys her what he really wants and she buys him what she really wants...
...once they're opened they swap them over.

I've just finished mine tonight, got the missus a food processor, not sure how it'll go down but she's mentioned them through out
the year so think I'm in the clear, chocies and itunes vouchers.
I'm not that good choosing presents, you've only got to ask Mrs Mooky what I got them for a wedding pressie!!!
Anyway think I'm in the clear Hope she doesn't read this though!!
Cheers
