    lol, too true.

    Thanks for the posts guys.

    The girlfriend is the soppy, romantic type but I only have got a budget of about £50 this year due to other badly timed expenses.

    Just ordered three CDs for my brother and a couple of sailing books for my dad from Amazon. Thats two down.

    Got a plan for mum, i have half of hers already. Will get my family secret santa next ween when i get back from offshore (away this afternoon). Then it's just two of my close friends to get for. Got ideas for them too.

    Far more organised this year than most

    (of course there is someone else i'd like to buy something for, but that might be seen as coming on a littl too strong)

    Ah! I thought the diamond one looked a bit more elegant so went for it, but I left it to my Mom's tastes - didn't want to pick something she might not really like, so let her pick what she wanted tbh.

    I used to enjoy having watches that looked like I would take over the world with 'em, but as of late, I've started to prefer dress watches with a simplistic look rather than a cluttered dial as most chronographs, but did like the chronograph Longines DolceVita, which I picked up on a whim two weeks back.

    I went for a Prestige with the light face. In comparison, my Mom's watch cost more than the 007 limit ed heh. I guess Diamonds Are Forever.

    any inspiration?
    lol @ TV & 5.1 home cinema kit.

    And exactly what lesson is that... dare you to answer.

    I have got plans for all my xmas presents, just haven't got round to buying them yet.

    And being single does rock.... means I can fork out on a new haircut and nail extensions for the party season.
