    Can someone help me find the Bop It extreme. Argos have one for 22.49. I have been looking and cant find it anywhere else, let alone cheaper. Many Thanks.

    WHSmith were doing it but I don't know what the price is, I did notice on TV advery tonight they have up to 60% off gifts which included lego so it may have something off it, you could also use the £5 off the £12 spend on the voucher board?

    The fact that we already have an actual incontinent 10 week old puppy is apparently insufficient for my eldest :)

    I have most things but need a Lego Hoth Wampa Cave and a Hero Factory Rotor.

    I also desperately need suggestions for a mother who hate everything I've ever bought her. All gifts are bin fodder. I've done dressing gown (wrong colour), slippers (right size but too big), expensive make up (waste of money), Molton Brown (gives her a rash) etc etc. She also hates brown, pink, chocolates .... in fact everything. It's so bad that Mr shoe says to buy some tat that's cheap because it'll be under the sprouts in the bin. Sorry for whinging but I find it really stressful to get her something and I can do without the wrinkles.

    Leather gloves? A hot water bottle in a nice cover? Books? Mp3 player (My Mum uses hers!)?, dvds?, a hamper?, fancy wine?, cookery items?

    If your mother always hates what you chose give her gift vouchers so she can chose for herself. Get something like flowers and put the vouchers with them.

    Get her a goat or a cow from Oxfam or one of the other charities that do them.... apart from having a lovely daughter, she is obviously blessed with enough clothes etc. of her own choice to be able to complain about your best efforts, so give her present to someone who needs it to survive.:D She might not be happy, but you will feel better than you usually do.:A

    I bought my Mum an iPod once. She complained that she didn't know how to use iTunes, she didn't like the music I put on it, she'd never use it etc. Honestly it makes Christmas Day uncomfortable for everyone when she chucks the gifts away. Nighties - didn't like them. Flowers - smelled funny. Leather gloves - too long on her fingers. I think a cow from Oxfam is a great idea at the moment. Better than tearing my hair out. Thanks for the suggestions. All great for my grateful for a gift mother in law.

    Once my Mum came in and threw her present at me. She said take that back it's carp and I don't like it. Mr shoe's face was a picture but after 30 years I'm unshockable now.
