Thanks for asking about Jack in the boxes MFD, i looked a while back and then forgot. I like the one Sami linked to, less scarey than the clown ones. Fab spinning tops too Tia. And i'm sure i've said i'm not buying anything else numerous times.....

Anyone seen any gardeners gifts? MIL needs new gardening gloves and trowels. The boots ones have either gloves or trowel, not both!

This one at debenhams is an option. esp if it's reduced tomorrow!

Can you not buy them separatley Gill and make a gardening hamper? I do remembe seeing some gardening sets in Home & Bargains. But don't think they had gloves, but they were nice and less than a fiver.

Gill, I'd buy them seperate too. And add in some nice hand cream. And a mug lol! I love mugs....

And I'd pop it all into a nice planter or a small trug bucket to make it super gardeny.

Someone has pointed me in the direction of grabbit so this is all sorted now :j
If it falls through then I'll definitely look at making my own. She's already requested some crabtree and evelyn handcream!

I don't know how they do it but every year the IL's end up requesting some sort of really expensive present...this year MIL thinks FIL would like a driving experience. Anyone seen any cheap ones? Best I can find is £75 on buy a gift but it has quite a few t & cs attached so I think we'll have to go for a £99 one. She says for us to liase with BIL, decide how much we want to pay, and she'll pay the extra. Always feel pressured into spending more than we usually would in this sort of situation!

ETA I used all of my clubcard points buying DH's driving experience so that's not an option unfortunately
