i dunno what to buy for my mum for christmas. like the only thing she ever seems to do is read on her kindle but buying amazon vouchers seems lame
my dad is gonna get some wine or golf related stuff because i dunno what else to get; he wanted a new winter coat but he went ahead and bought one last weekend damnit

... aaand also go away and don't come back
I'm in the same boat, my mum has no hobbies. Even worse, she has no sense of taste or smell so I can't even buy a bottle of perfume or poo poo for her. Last year I bought her a set of nice pads and drawing charcoals she hasn't used yet. gently caress you for being so hard to buy for you wonderful woman.

i bought one of those grow-your-own-vegetables things for her last year which she quite liked, she grew some tomatoes and mange tout i think :)
seems daft to get the same thing again though

probably gonna get a big fuckoff box of lindor chocolate cos she likes those, and i guess a kindle voucher or something

my mum gets frightened pressing the play button on their new blu ray player, i think the internet beyond the kindle bookstore is a bit too scary for her.

she'd be on here for all of ten seconds before she called me up saying WHAT IS THAT MAN DOING TO HIS ANUS?! and then never speak to me again

ive not done any xmas shopping

my new policy is not to buy someone something unless they tell me what they want. it's better than me kicking them in the throat because they complain when they get something they didn't want

Most of the kids in the family are getting into their teens so cash becomes an acceptable gift for when they want to buy £30 of penny sweets or drugs or whatever.

Penny sweets haven't existed where I live for some time.
