    Boys are so difficult to buy for...but I always find that gift vouchers go down well.
    My stepson loves FCUK so we always try to get him some vouchers.
    Itunes and music store vouchers are always a safe bet for the younger generation, as well.
    My hubby is the one that I always get stumped on.
    He usually gets some clothes..smellies etc. Have bought him lots of experience vouchers in the past though. He began to think that I was trying to get rid of him, after receiving...flying lessons/helicopter rides etc etc

  • Were I still an 18 year old I would think that most of that would be pretty cool!
