Mst difficult person to buy for at christmas.

[0iD]

Who is the worst person to buy for at christmas?
I always find it's mi Mum. Mi kids are easy, the wife's not too bad., Dad's tricky, brother's I dont bother.
Difficult finding something for mi Mum that's not tacky or cliche'd

Difficult finding something for my mother too... especially when she's a moody, stubborn bint

i find the best policy is to ask them what they want, then you can get something they need, and if they don't tell you want they want you can either just get them a voucher, or just get them something random, and if they complain about it - it's their own fault for not telling you what they want.

My dad, no question.

Is it me, or does it seem whatever u get yr mum, they 'seem' pleased, but u know they're thinking 'oh my god, what am i going to do with this?'.

i just ask my mum what she wants, takes all those problems away.

Nice thought, I try every year. She just smiles sweetly and sez, "oh just get me anything". Generally meaning she doesn't hav a clue either. I'd ask mi dad, but he's as reliable as a chocolate watch.

yeah well thing is they're all doing pressies this year, i was hoping they wouldnt but they are. I was just going to buy just my closest friends something but now it seems i'm having to buy half the uni pressies! great fun when u've only got 5p to your name (that's not an exaggeration, i actually only have 5p in my purse!)

Dad without a doubt....... My mum always goes " Erm ............ Dunno" so i always get her sum jewlery like a braclet of necklase or earings. I just give my Dad money from now on so he can get stuff for him Comp!

Mums aren't difficult to buy from Chrimbo. Mine drops hints on Boxing Day, and for the remaining 364 days till Chrimbo want she wants. Score. My sister, is more the same, yet usually schemes and gets me to buy stuff throughout the year, anyway. Everyday is Chrimbo! My Dad is the challenge. I've asked, like, 6 times what he wants. Those questions are met with "err...dunno." Yeah, nice one Dad. I can really going into John Lewis' and go: "Yeah. Hi. I'm after some errr...dunno, mens, in a 16 neck?

Owwf. I think I may play safe and play the "DIT" card this year. Weak, I know, but Dads are always loosing or breaking stuff, I think he'd at least use it.

[Theo]

The "DIT" card? Care to elaborate, please chap?

Luckily... my father and I don't talk, so we don't buy eachother anything.. Although when we did talk, a bottle of Johnny Walker always went down well.

DIY, sorry. Blunder on my part...
