I have 3 very close female friends and I was over the road the other day when they said that the four of us were going to have Christmas dinner together next thursday (we're at uni, leaving on the friday) and then one of them said "Ooh, and we can exchange presents then too..." Presents? B*******

What can I get 3x 19 girls, nothing suggestive, let's say a budget of £15 each (I'm feeling flush) bearining in mind I've pretty much ignored anything they've every said to me whilst out "shopping".


Please help get me out of this potential crisis!!!

Why not have "secret Santa" gift-giving, it can be a good laugh- you each draw a name out of a hat ( each person in the group puts their name in )- buy amusing pressie up to set £ budget - recipient doesn't know who has bought it- great fun with work mates.

This is a very serious thread.


Another thing, one of the girls is a clear favourite, she must get a slightly crappier gift than the other two due to the extra attention she has recieved over the last few months.

too late! they've all had "carefully thought out pressies" bought for me for weeks!

I have done the secret Santa thing with my housmates, which reminds me... need to go get that Spinal Tap CD

Is there any films or music they like? Most girls have films they absolutely love but never get around to buying. If not then I would go with some cosmetics, such as Lush or body shop. Easy Option.

Paul - take them to the Mailbox - Santa Fe - and order them one each of the burgers.

I would recommend the mushroom and Jalepeno one for the "extra special" young lady.

Trust me - they're the best burgers in the world!

Good quality perfume or edt is always well appreciated .....you'll need to find out what they each prefer.

shnozz!!!

to Lush - go in grab a sales assistant and get them to chose for you - they'll even wrap it as well or get a gift set that is already wrapped.

Otherwise Boots have some quite nice stuff (and in their three for two range!) nice photoframes, gift sets of smellies trinkety things etc. etc.

They rob all my CDs anyway, we all have basically the same musical tastes, I was more up for getting "silly" presents...

for example, One of the girls was going out with some bloke from Norway, I was gonna get her one of those comedy Viking Hats.

I quite like Lush, I need an excuse to go there, it smells great!

Is there one in B'ham??

It was the only available option. There were no hoovers or cooking appliances for less than £15
