Presents for grandparents

uk_viper · 7 Dec 2009 at 10:26

Been struggling with this for nearly a month now, they're the only two i have left to get presents for but can't think of anything.

Both of them are diabetic, but my sisters are buying jams and chocolate for them.

Any suggestions would be helpful, looking to spend upto max of £15

15£ for your grandparents??? Are you getting a loan for that?

EDIT: Just realised it's up-to £15, phewwww!!! Well you could buy them some jelly babies for £3-4

Your nan, go to M&S, edwardian ladies diary £5. Nans love it.
Then get your grandad some hankerchiefs, or a nice bottle of wine.

Whats with the low budget anyway, are you a student or something?

£15 is a low budget. I'd spend £50-75.

Crikey - How much do you spend on your parents?

I never see my only living grandparent anymore so I shan't be buying her anything. However, if I was to it would be in the region of £10-£15...

£150 - £200 between parents.

Hmmm it's justa gesture of goodwill for me so I wouldn't even think about spending that much money, to be honest I think my mum would be offended but each to their own, the kids on the other hand

I don't buy my only grandparent anything, just a card. She doesn't want presents, same with my parents, they just tell me to save my money as there's nothing they'd truly want which they can't get themselves. £10 - £15 is fine ..

Congrats on the e-penis. Most people can't afford over a months wages on Christmas presents.

I was asked a question, I gave my honest answer. What's the problem? Should I under-state it just so I don't upset those that don't earn as much :confused:

I would hope most earned over that a month to be honest.

what 5-7 presents at 75-200 each. Think you overestimate what people earn. It's the way you said it and how you said is that all.

I think people took exception to you saying £15 is too low for a present, it's normal imo

upto 4 grandparents, 2 parents and possibly siblings as well. That's not taking into account any kids, friends or other relatives.
