Way hay, you're obviously the ultimate MSE mum!!
Well, if they don't know what they want/don't want anything in particular, what about premium bonds? If at a later date they find something in particular that they would like they could cash the bonds in. Just a thought.Debt at highest: £6,290.72 (14.2.1999)
Debt free success date: 14.8.2006 :j0 -
I spotted the supermarkets selling 'itunes' vouchers. I've got a couple of male relatives with ipods who will be getting these this year. Also - along the lines of the annual cinema pass - what about a subscription to one of those DVD rental schemes, the ones where they post them out to you? I was thinking of getting together with my sister to get this for my dad this year.0

I have sold 3 remote control helicopters to parents of teenage boys, seems very popular like the usual 'gadgets'
Lessons is a good idea depending on age
Suppose depends what they are in to.One day I might be more organised...........
GC: £200
Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb0 -
My son says his best present ever was a trip to Kaiser chief gig last year when he was 13 . How about somthing like that.stashmycash wrote:Thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately they have got CD players. They hate branded sports wear. We are taking them to the theatre on New Year's day and the tickets are £55 each :eek: I know I'm mad but I think we will all really enjoy it.Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination:beer:
