Schedule some games into the day - we play charades and that one where you stick a famous name on your head and have to try and guess who you are - great laughs, especially when grandma gets someone like Luther Vandross! or Dizzy Rascal (who!!!!).

Yerh like my 16 year old cousin giving my 54 year old auntie Bruno Mars!

No not a grabbit, maybe this thread could be moved to the Christmas and Occasions board.

I love the voucher idea, I would be well happy if someone gave one of those to me!

We've done all our shopping etc. for the kids, in-laws etc and are left with just the two of us.
This the first year ever where I've been able to turn to my wife and tell her not to waste any money on me.
There is literally NOTHING that I want for Christmas......... and there's no point her just getting me £50 worth of stuff that I'll never use.

Theres loads of freebies around so there isnt really that much need to spend loads, like the NASA put your name on the spaceship thingy last year printed off the certificates and rolled them up with a ribbon was a great little gift for all the blokes and the boys.

I'm doing this for my sister - as part of her present she is getting an IOU of 'one trip to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, plus snacks and brews'.
