Although this is true...it doesnt clearly solve the problem of what to buy someone who has everything,or at least very little needs except something to open on christmas morning.

I need to buy my sister and bil a present...I have no idea what...for the past few years we have gone with gift experiences/theatre trips/meals out etc but the list has now run out of suitable things....they are affluent and as such really dont need or want anything and I really have tried going down the route of "no gifts for us"...but my sister seems adamant on an exchange at christmas...
We have also done cheese boards and cheese vouchers,countless photo frames,molten/jo malone gift sets....wine and even a history of their house

my budget is £100 throw some ideas at me peeps....

How about some Christmas tableware? The Holly & Ivy range from Portmeirion is very attractive and you could add to the collection every year, solving the problem permanently.

Hope everyone is well or at least feeling better this afternoon. Howling gales and raining, pretty horrible here. xx

Mhoc, I know what you mean about annoying DH's. I spent the night on the sofa.
I stripped our bed yesterday, left it to air and was going to remake the bed at bedtime. He went up first while I finished watching a recording. When I went up he had gone to bed. Did he remake the bed with the clean linen I hear you ask. No he didn't. The lazy so and so was laying on the mattress topper, with cover less pillows and duvet, snoring.:eek:
The temptation to wake him, get him up and get him to help make the bed was almost overwhelming, but I resisted, and I didn't mention it this morning. Very restrained I thought:D

I would have taken photos and saved the evidence for the next big argument when he s ranting about all of the time you spend shopping or on the internet :rotfl:

bed changing is a big source of arguments in our house as well. The bed is changed and it is looking very hotel like then someone leaves the bedroom door open and a black cat gets in and leaves a clump of fur or OH in his sleep starts randomly scratching a leg or an arm and bleeds on the clean sheet - urggg, so it all needs to be striped off and you start all over again

But think about it - in a lot of cases, you want the butter to butter the toast you have just made, so will clearly want a tea or coffee to go with it.

Ergo the kettle would be freshly boiled already, and still steaming:p

Or you could hold the knife over the toaster while the toast cooks and have orange juice to drink. Completely negates the need for a kettle.:p;):rotfl:

Or well am just going to pop down there see if joggy has emptied the shelf first..... Am sure our DM would be more of a smart but casual look...some where between an M&S and F&F :D:D

this sounds like a nightmare

so they are south rather than north - are you on the Time out email list, my eldest works in London and lives just outside and she uses Time out to find fun things to do.

what about a Thames cruise with a nice evening meal - think I've seen these on Amazon local

what about the sky garden - you can book meals up there as well

london is out...we sent them off to the vinopolis place a few years ago and they did most of the south bank at the same sort of time...

Problem is that they also live in one of the most picturesque areas of the south west and recently celebrated a significant anniversay in cornwall think Rick stein!!!!

Given the fact that they have travelled about a bit this year already I dont think theres much more within my price range...

Thought I might take a look at something for the garden...although not a bench,sundial,planter pot or garden seats as they have all been done in the past.
