    id say it depends on how much you want to spend, what you already know what they like/into and i spose weather youd want to include a partner.

    id probably go with if either drink a nice bottle of something, or something in relation to what they are into.

    Well i'm a 36 year old woman and i loved the la senza pyjama's offer on the grabbit board....but not everyone likes stuff like this for pressies and you do have to know sizes :cool:
  • For the man how about the QI book from the TV series which is full of amazing facts. For the woman then something like candles/bath foam.
  • Powerball for the man +-£20 from maplin or ebay and a massage/manicure/pedicure voucher fo the lady from your nearest nice luxury hotel salon maybe?

  • how about making a movie hamper up for them with dvds (or cinema vouchers) packs of popcorn, sweets, poundland have buy 3 coca cola glasses for £1, bottle of juice...

    or something similar depending on their interests...

    I think you're as lazy as the person who said "what ever" tbh.
    If you;re buying the gift for someone you want to buy a gift for then you should know them even just a tiny bit to know what they like.

    If i was bought a standard gift for someone my age (smellies, etc) I wouldnt be too impressed.

    My opinion btw!

    It's really hard to give you ideas as you only know the people in question not us.

    A man - i would say a blu ray dvd or book or aftershave
    A woman - probably a nice gift set, next has these or a bottle of good wine in a wine box and a chick flick movie :)
