christmas shopping

[mollykins]

I have a feeling it's going to be one of those threads, but i'm going christmas shopping soon.

What should I buy my dad for christmas?

It needs to be something that's between 5 and £10 but it can't be any of the following which rules out nearly anything possible;

~chocolate (he's too fussy and even if he doesn't like them he just shoves some in his mouth then screws his face up and leaves the rest)
~a mug (he has to have china cups, which I've never found with any of those slogans on)
~clothes (including slippers and accesories such as jewelry) (he's so fussy, and he just got a new pair of slippers and he's allergic to lots of metals and wouldn't wear jewelry anyway)
~alcohol (he has tonnes in the cupboard and even if I got someone to buy it for me, my budget doesn't extend to buy the kinds of things he likes)
~CDs or DVDs (he never watches or listens to them.)

Molly,I,m sure you are a very sweet girl,but do you ever think for yourself ?
This is not a criticism,just an observation.

have you got, or can you take a nice family photo, or just a nice one of your mum and dad together that you could get enlarged and put into a nice frame for them?

He likes boats so why not get him a book on boating or similar.

Give him some of the most precious thing you have - your time. Mayvbe you could wash and polish his car/golf clubs etc. Give him a voucher for a couple of hours of your time.

He doesn't read.

What i meant was that I could buy 2 things as part of an offer that works out at £5 each but if i were two buy them completely separately it would be £10 or more, meaning i bought them something for £5 which is worth more, how ahrd is that to understand?

[mollykins]

I tried thinking for myself but everything i thought of was rejected.

[anneasquith]

i think you got some decent replies molly.

[mollykins]

Someone thought of that for his birthday helen and he wasn't amused.
