The official help with buying Christmas presents thread 2013

[Giraffe]

Ideas for mums, dads, children, teenagers, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, aunts, uncles, grandparents and anyone else.

What do you want, and what are you getting these people?

Yes I know it may seem early but these things need planning.

And don't forget to click the Amazon link at the top of the page to give NSC money when you buy. No doubt Bozza will post his normal thread concerning this at the start of December or earlier if he is feeling the Christmas spirit!

I actually think I want one of these.

The bloke wearing it could try smiling. Or was he the person who started the thread about things he hates about Christmas?

I'm off to Lille's Christmas Market next month in a quest for gifts that don't cost a fortune and are that little bit different. Here's hoping

I love my Pure Portable Digital Radio. I got one online somewhere for about thirty quid. One thing to note, if you want your Pure Portable Digital Radio to be portable you need to buy a seperate battery http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pure-Series-Compact-Portable-Radio/dp/B005OPKB4G/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1385061687&sr=8-10&keywords=pure+portable+radio

Instead of going for the cliched watches, DVDs and games, I'm hoping to get my family gifts that they'll remember for longer than if I just got them a paperback book. So like I've booked tickets to see Top Gear Live in Scotland with my dad and brother, then my mum is getting a relaxing spa day in a Sussex retreat. If I have any money left over, I'll get my younger brother tickets to see a concert of his choice, and take Dad to see a Brighton game in the New Year. That sort of thing is my theme for present-buying this year, and means I can do all the ordering online at my leisure. As for me, I'd like an Albion top, a badminton racket and a Nike FuelBand.

I need to buy a present with a value of up to fifty quid for a 65 year old man who has everything. Any ideas gratefully recieved. He likes rugby, sci fi and whiskey but has been told to cut down on the latter

We're treating ourselves to a night in Bruges this Friday on the proviso that we buy EVERYONE'S presents on Saturday in Bruges / the hypermarket. Wish us luck.

I got these last year and was absolutely chuffed:http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Pictori...1385062317&sr=8-1&keywords=wainwright+revised
Of course you should always go via the NSC link though.

I'll get my mrs an outfit from Ann Summers. It will go in the wardrobe where it will remain with last years, and the years before. I just like going in there.
