I'm for it

What does a 10y boy want for a birthday present ? I've trudged the shops and bought owt. £30 should fix it - but what ?

He's gonna have the grumps if I dont present him with something other than money, (middle child syn) & very greedy.

n.b. his dad has bought him a m-phone.

Hey a gift is a gift, most kids nowadays just want money so they can go and buy what they want.Do not feel bad.

[tamborine]

nope...son says money is lazy - sigh.

[waterboatman]

How about a voucher to top up his phone?

[tamborine]

That's a good idea WBM, if I knew his service. Will text him later, Thanx for that.

When my DIL wanted approval on the provision of gifts for the 2 grandkids we put the ball firmly in her court and said "There is the £30 (or whatever the amount was) You sort out the present. Then we gave them another small but personal prezzy as a treat 'cos mummy was sometimes too practical in her gift buying.

Dicky, she'll put me in a home before I find the ball
