Comments

  • Make them!! i've just made my boyfriend a 'gift of time' booklet, including offering to help wash his 64 ton truck!!

    Why are all those things out? Does he not need them?
  • The gift book is a great idea.:beer:
    I learnt quickly that OH would not pick up on hints:rolleyes: so in our house we make a pressie list for ourselves at least 10 items at a reasonable price (set a limt) we then excange lists and pick 3 but dont tell which 3 so still a surprise Christmas mourning.:D
    You said he didnt need undies but buy youself somthing from Anne Sommers,gift wrap it and let him open it;) If money is realy tight 3 or 4 mts bright ribbon draped around you and finished in a nice bow;)
    Or how about a head and shoulder or foot massage.From a reputuble establishment of course:rolleyes: :rotfl:
    hope this is some help.
    Some of the best lessons we ever learn,we learn from our mistakes and failures.the error of the past is the success and wisdom of the future.:wave: :beer::j

    I think that you can buy them in borders or I think there is a website for it you might have to google it

    Have you tried the gadget sites such as 'I Want One of Those'? If you go through quidco they have several and there are lots of ideas. Some cashback for you too.

    Once again, I am going to suggest champagne and harmonicas. Really, these are all the gift ideas you need to know.
  • Lads arent that hard to buy for yer know. ;)

    How much are you wanting to spend?
    Do you want a main present and then bits, or is it just loadsa bits?

    Does he follow football?
    Does he show interest in anything? if not, do you think he would be receptive to a hobby if you found something?

  • What about a picture of you both in a nice photo frame, or a scrap book of all your favourite things that you have done together?
