    Play have the green mens breo watch for £5.99 today as part of monday madness - with cashback from tcb that would be a nice small gift :)
    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together

    Oh dear. I read that as chocolate penis oopppsss. LOL

    Marks and Spencer had some cheap cooks books and there were codes for free delivery and 10% off.

    these look good too:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Set-Kid-Teenager-Eggbox-Socks/dp/B002DL94SS


    JFYI I heard the Jamie book is good but a bit of a complicated layout. I've asked for it for xmas but not sure if it will be suitable for a 15 year old (read reviews on Amazon)

    Still doing stockings for DS-25 & DD-27 as they say they are the best thing at xmas and last year we had a very tight xmas & DS has a choice between a big present or his stocking & chose the stocking! The things DS loves best are all the bits I find in poundland & home bargains-plastic c**p as its called in our house! Go for things he would have brought as a ten year old - wrap each one up in cheep paper-silly putty, little modelling kits, cheep radio control cars, glo sticks, anything that flies, chinese lanterns, his old fav sweets etc etc you will soon collect a big pile of stuff and its great fun as each one is unwrapped-go for silly stuff too half our fun is some of the strange things I manage to find!
    I have always relied on the kindness of strangers

  • Hi there,
    In case you havent got it all sorted now, what about keeping an eye on Groupon? I bought a Groupon voucher for 2 hour session at a Raptor centre in Cupar, Fife....(near us) - the session normally costs £60 for two hours 121 instruction inlearning to handle and fly different types of Birds of Prey. The voucher was £24 and I had a £6 credit for a recommendation, so it only cost me £18.
    It's something different that he'll remember..... just a suggestion :-D
