If you immensely dislike him, why bother? But if you really must, how about his favourite tipple.What do you get a married on family member in his late 60's that you immensely dislike. I don't want to spend too much but still want it to look like I was thoughtful

The absolute scenes if I left him out
I would do if it was from my side of the family but I don't want Mr Lolz getting aggro from his family
Oh when I opened this I thought it was going to be about affording things for people!
Right, my mother always buys me tat. I am trying to downsize, I don't want loads of trinkets which cost a sizeable amount whereas a bottle of olive oil or cotton wool pads would be far more useful, though less exciting for her to buy.

I feel you on this! I love my mum and most of the time she's grand with presents but the last few years have definitely been more about what she's wanted me to have rather than what I want / need. I asked for some Next vouchers to go toward some curtains I want for the living room and she's refusing as "I don't like buying vouchers. However I did see this wonderful dress that would suit you".
I also asked for some Body Shop ginger shampoo as I love it but it costs a ton now. Her response "I'm not buying my daughter shampoo as a Christmas gift. That's groceries, not gifts."
Is the dress from next? Tell her that sounds nice but ask for a gift receipt in case it doesn’t fit and then take it back and use it towards the curtains
She didn't say but it could well be, she bloody lives in thereIs the dress from next? Tell her that sounds nice but ask for a gift receipt in case it doesn’t fit and then take it back and use it towards the curtains
Next are even better than that! They use some barcode wizardry that scans the barcode and tells you when it was bought (if it was boughtIs the dress from next? Tell her that sounds nice but ask for a gift receipt in case it doesn’t fit and then take it back and use it towards the curtains
when my LO was born we got lots of dupes and no gift receipts and next were brilliant for returning

Actually I thought after I posted my earlier message that I was going to ask my mother for a light up reindeer for Xmas
If that's not tat I don't know what is. So that would be a win-win, she gets her tat, and I'd be in awe at a sparkly reindeer

(It's a very altruistic present so he or no one can be upset with you!)
I thinks it's just one of those brands that you see everywhere at Christmas time and its mostly associated with tk maxx where you can get it at a knocked down price.
I love this mug! So would give it to him if it weren’t for Mr Lolz
Fantastic idea, 100% doing this. He’s always bleating (see what I did there
) on about how much he loves animals. The miserable bleep

The absolute scenes if I left him out
MrB idly surfing on the well known auction site has asked if I would like a new clothes airer rack for xmas. No was met with an eyebrow raise, but an improvement on my last years xmas gift. He's hidden it so well he still hasn't found it.
What do you get him? New iron i hope
A pair of Trickers shoes he's had his eye on but wouldn't buy. Over 500 quids worth. Might splash out on a pair of flip flops from the £ shop this year.
I love this thread! The one thing I hate about Christmas is just how much money people waste on pointless gifts… My oh mother bought him some gardening bits last year, I was cleaning and sorting through the junk in the spare room the other week and found the presents still in the gift bag all unopened underneath all the crap we had squashed in a corner. Last week I over heard on their weekly FaceTime that she’s already “got a few things” for this year…. Please no… I regifted most of my things to my grandmother (she’s actually got a lot of use out of them, otherwise I wouldn’t have just regifted for the sake of it). I love the idea of secret Santa as it takes the stress out of buying loads of different things for multiple people and saves on the much needed £££‘s right now!
Sounds exactly like my mum. We agreed this year just to go out for a nice meal over the festive period instead of wasting money. Next time I see her ‘I went to such and such a place and got you a few bits for Christmas’
why?!I can’t abide the fragrance of Dove, it always smells like sick to me…..In laws usually get me at least 2 dove sets for Christmas and then again for my birthdaycontaining the same products just in a different shaped box. At least I hardly ever have to buy shower gel
