So it's that glorious time of year again. Dozens of presents to buy for friends, family and other halfs. Let's make it easier on ourselves and share some ideas we have for presents.
It would be handy to break it down into presents for friends, presents for family and of course the most important presents for your other half (girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband).
So I guess I should get the ball rolling though I really have precious little ideas and some of them are very obvious and boring.
Book/DVD links:
* The Bro Code
* I Hate Christmas: A Manifesto for the Modern-day Scrooge
* Mushrooms and Mankind: The Impact of Mushrooms on Human Consciousness and Religion
Generic:
* Magazine subscriptions (see pr0n below)
* Booze!
* Vehicle/Bike Cam.
* Nerf Guns! [1],[2],[3]
* A lump of coal??
Friends:
* Guns!
* OCUK vouchers
* Fancy european beer.
* Paintball or similar voucher of some description??
* Pr0n
Family:
* Books, have a sneaky look around what books they have to find authors they like, that way you'll seem like you know them well and you can make sure it's not one they already have
* The usual, DVDs, games etc.
* Waffle iron! Who doesn't like waffles?? Same for donut maker.
* If they like to cook then maybe recipe books or equipment.
* Rubik's magic, just to make christmas even more frustrating.
* Magic Wand remote control.
* Transformer Spastic.
Other Half (either):
* Some sort of joint activity (s)he enjoys (paintballing again as an example)
* Suggest buying something together, some sort of massagey sex chair apparently.
* Private toys
For Him
* Bosch Tassimo
* A nice watch (mostly for guys).
For Her
* Weekend at a nice hotel, spa if you can afford it. Go all out with a different country if you're really loaded.
* Perfume, old, obvious, boring but if she can't afford a nice one herself she'll still love to get it from you! Same goes for flowers, they're classic presents for a reason.
* Concert tickets, Take That for girls who like them.
* Weekend cruise on the Thames/nice river near you (ideally delayed a few months perhaps until it's warmer ) You can usually rent a cruise ship for 3-7 days and sail around yourself. It's a good chance to get your captain hat on and have some true alone time with your loved one.
* Shoes, and a shoe closet if it's gotten that bad.
* Clothes, but for the love of God don't get it wrong.
List is constantly being updated so come back to see more ideas and let's hear all your ideas, if we combine our knowledge this could be the easiest christmas shopping ever
