Maxi dress for mum and jumper for dad? Help

I have only a few days left until I need to pack all the gifts so I am really struggling to find something for my mum and dad as one of their main gifts.
I know my mum would love a maxi dress, something flowy and not too fitted, with long sleeves although short sleeves are okay. I don't realy like the idea of a low v-neck but I did see one on Littlewoods it's just too expensive and I was worried to use the codes.
My dad, I want to buy him either a jumper, which is not thin material but thick although it doesn't have to be too thick material, or a zip through cardigan. Please could you help with links and ideas, under £40 perhaps?

Have you tried Matalan for your dad? I got a great zip up jumper for my dad last year and they have some good stuff and not bank breaking! AND maxi dresses were half price in Matalan last week when I went. I got a really nice paisley type print maxi, long sleeved one for £11Married the lovely Mr P 28th April 2012.

Thank you everyone. I did take a look at those sites but nothing too appealing right now. Looked at the reviews too, will still look around.Debt free
