ideas for my mum for chrimbo~not too expensive though.
Im stumped.
Are there any dvds she'd like in the supermarket? pack it up with a couple of mini bottles of wine from Tesco, a pair of fluffy inexpensive slippers (Primark is great) and a slab of really good quality Divine or Green & Blacks chocolate :T

A voucher for a day out together doing things she enjoys? Would delay the cost?
Anyways.I'm going to try and sleep before my stomach rebels again:cool:

Hmmm didn't find anything but I think I might do them a kind of foodie hamper. With maybe some kind of nice infused oil, chutney, cheese, organic wine, marinated olives, that sort of thing. I think they would like it, but they are so flipping fussy, it's hard to tell.
Not sure where I would buy those things locally though, I don't live in a 'deli' kind of a town. :rolleyes: Maybe Leeds city centre though, or actually, I'm sure there will be somewhere near where Mr Sunday lives, that's if we are still speaking by then."I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250 -
...even better than the wine beanie - Griffith Park sparkling Rose is absolutely delicious, tastes far more expensive and is only £6.99 at Tesco

My Mum and Dad will never say what they want for Xmas because they don't want us spending too much on them. If I ask, they just say 'a Mars bar'.
This gets pretty bloody irritating every single year (for the last 30-odd), so a couple of years ago, me and my sisters bought bags full of miniature Mars bars and wrapped hundreds of the damn things up individually. :rotfl:
Don't think they have said it since..."I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250
