Not sure if this is the right thread but here goes.
I need a bit of help with presents for my parents.
My daughter, sister and i all club together for our parents presents.
We put £30 in for each parent, so have £120 to spend on each parent.
I always get the money and but the presents but this year i'm struggling.
So far, i've made them a hamper of special food, all those expensive things that parents won't buy,
I've got them a digital photo frame, as this year they became great grandparents for the 1st time, so i'm doing a memory card with lots of photos on.
Dad's also got, a bottle of malt whisky, jumper from m&s, peter kay dvd.
Mum bottle of baileys, blouse, umbrella and diary.
We was going to take my mum to body shop and have her make up done and buy her some, but she doesnt' want that, as she sells avon, so has lots of make up.
I've been searching the internet, for tickets to see a show, anywhere liverpool area, but can't see anything, that would suit them.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what more i can get them.
mum's 70 dad is 74
thanks

Sounds like you've got a great selection of things already which they should be pleased with. Unless I've misread your post if 3 of you are putting in £30 each that's £90 to spend on each parent not £120.0

Do you have enough left to get them a National Trust membership? Of course that would only work if there are places nearby that they could visit. If not are there any other stately homes nearby or places that you could get them a season ticket to? My brother did this for my parents last year and it went down well.0
