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 etc0 -
