Nephew's Graduation
My Nephew will be Graduating so we would get him a small token of celebration. For my Nieces when they Graduated, we gave them a SPA-day voucher and a message that they deserved to relax after all the hard work. Was thinking about a Red Letter Day, or similar, voucher for my Nephew as the SPA-day won't be so well received.…

It's my partner's 40th birthday in March, so obviously we'll still be in lockdown and not able to have a proper party or go anywhere. We had booked (optimistically) a holiday in Dorset which we had to cancel.. Lockdown began on her birthday last year! These things combined she's feeling a bit down about her birthday. She's…

I’ve seen prices in my local chemist and I know perfumes are expensive. Are there an online retailers where I might get an Angel at a discounted price

It's not until Jan. She lives alone in her own (mortgaged) place, loves tech. Loves most tv genres. Isn't the going out type, which helped her during lockdown. Drinks most alcoholic drinks. Want something special.

Fun and cheap advent calendar
This is a cheap alternative to all those expensive chocolate filled advent calendars. Great for crafters, who will enjoy making and decorating the calendar and far more fun for little children, as they make Santa's beard grow every day. Perhaps a sweet or other treat could be given for every cotton wool ball that's stuck…

M & S Christmas Food
I got a copy of the M & S Christmas Food guide through my door on Friday. Wow it's not budget. I don't think many will spend £18 on a cheesecake this year that's extortion I hope it's breaching for that price. I like Lidl especially the Christmas Food items.

Halloween Night In ... Movie/TV Shows (RomCom rather than Horror)?
Hi all Since it's unlikely my partner and I will be going out to celebrate Halloween, I wondered if people could recommend some movies or TV shows with a Halloween theme? My partner hates gore and can't manage anything super creepy. We watched October Kiss on Netflix which was trashy but enjoyable. Any other suggestions of…
