Yet another gift idea, help please for people who have most things.

mr_knight

OK So I've finished the xmas shopping but OH says he thinks we should get his parents something else. OK we have spent a bit more on mine but that wasn't deliberate, his are much more difficult to buy for.

We only want to spend about £10-15 more on them both and the gift can be joint or 2 sep ones.

Neither have any hobbies. MIL doesn't drink, FIL does. FIL just had his birthday and I bought him a wine stopper. They don't go anywhere other than for the odd meal. They don't like particular bands, sports, TV shows. They watch films but generally just what is ON tv (not sure they ever use the DVD player).

We have already bought them a digital photo frame, and photo book so that is out.

Neither me nor OH have a clue so please help. I seem to be able to suggest things for other people but I am rubbish with my own gift buying

Oh and one final thing it has to be bought online.

Thanks very much

Viagra ? Cialis ?

Some chocs from Hotel Chocolat? They're really yummy - but now I don't like Thorntons chocs any more, they just aren't as nice.

When I'm stuck I get people a cheery winter scarf.

Those spikey things you put under your shoes like these could be useful this year: http://www.qvcuk.com/ukqic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.564189.cm_scid.KeywordSearch?source=cj
Out of stock on QCV but someone might have some.
(found these on amazon but they cost a bit more: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002LWDCCS/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=103612307&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001QJE0UA&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=1NQNHZ8MC54FAQZB57FG) )

Do you have children? Maybe a couple of photo mugs of the kids?

Canadian slippers - 2 pairs for £12.90? http://www.presentsdirect.com/Canadian-Slippers-2-Pairs-Save-1633/Product1_21551_-1_31283_11057

This fair trade hamper at Markeis says it is half price when you get to the checkout: http://www.marksandspencer.com/Marks-and-Spencer-Trade-Selection/dp/B000VWJIXW?ie=UTF8&ref=sr_1_6&sr=1-6&qid=1292253911

Good luck!

For something that they've never done before? Good luck - I have problems buying for my Dad!

Hello thanks for the replies.
FIL would like the viagra, not so sure MIL would though. I'll keep it in mind though!

I like the slippers but they aren't the style they would wear (honestly they are really difficult). I may invest in some though as my feet are always freezing.

We don't have children so mug idea won't work but they are nice though.

MIL might well like the snow shoe things, I'll investigate that one further.

I'll have alook at the m&S hamper and the chocolates. Chocs can't be too fussy though lol. If I lived near them I'd make a hamper with a trashy film and a few bits they both like but when you live so far away it is impossible.

Right off to investigate the ideas so far
