I don't know about everybody else but I'm stuck. Now usually I nip down the pub at about 12:00 on Christmas eve and start shopping at about 14:30, however that's not an option this year. I need to get stuff in the next week

So can we have suggestions for something interesting for parents, girlfriend, brother, nephew

Thanks

I got my wife something a bit different this year, a Spa day.

I did that once. Imagine the horror on her face when I dropped her off at the local Spa and asked her to get me some Beer while she was in there getting the other groceries.

Have you seen the new RPM shop on Guildford High St? It's full of Mini Motos, Mini Scramblers and quite unfeasibly rapid radio-controlled cars.

Well that's you sorted at least

Here's what to do: nip into Army&Navy and don't leave until you've bought all your presents. For God's sake don't go to Knightsbridge or Chelsea - I did this last year and was just snowed under with choices. Found myself a fantastic shirt shop on King's Road though

I bought my Mrs a 'pack' of 12 visits to the Spa that she can take whenever she likes through the year. Sorted, can't think of any female that wouldn't like a trip to those places.

I'm buying my wife a watch and a dildo. If she doesn't like the watch she can go and fk herself.

Now need something interesting for the olds £50-£100 I guess. Quite like the "weather station" that was posted up last week. Something like that

How about a box of stuff from Space NK for the missus? Women seem to love the stuff. It's quite hard to buy though, as I haven't a clue what most of the stuff does.

Any ideas what I can get a couple of 9 year old boys. I know someone is allready getting them radio controlled cars. They already have one present from me so just want something around the £20-£30 mark each
