Xmas Prezzies for the awkward person in your life !

hi all

first of all, my apologies for posting this so far away from crimbo, but if i don't start thinking soon, i'll never work out what i am getting folk.

now the real problem i have is my dad.

he has to be the most awkward person to buy anything for !
he doesn't drink
he doesn't smoke
he doesn't play sport
he doesn't even like sport !
he hates people buying him books, tools, clothes etc.........

anyone got any bright ideas ?

please !

Cash.

 

Well all I can recommend is my new pal Humphrey..

Mic Tyler
Solo Euphonium
Drighlington Band

 

If he's a Yorkshireman he won't spend that either; by the sounds of things

 

Gift tokens? Then he can choose for himself.


Failing that, a bag that's had cakes in.

 

Does he have a dog? He might like one of these...

What goes well with my parents is a day out with a meal to be taken at anytime (obviously not Crimbo as it's so expensive).

 

Buy him a nice shiny flugelhorn. Every home should have one.

 

Hehe, me thinks that a price range should be presented...

 

how about writing him a song... personal touch and all that...

 

Obviously sounds like a man who has everything.

If that's the case how about a course of penicillin!

 

some good suggestions there.
price range......
say £100 tops
a little more info.
he doesn't have any pets, he is retired, he doesn't know, or want to know anything about computers, he is not musical in any way.
about the only thing he likes is books and history. But he has a library van visit every two weeks, so he can get all the books he needs there.

thanks folks

I think it sounds like he has everything he needs. Why don't you ask him to nominate a charity, and then make a donation to that Charity instead of giving him something that he doesn't want?

 

all history? what about a day trip/holiday for day or so to london to BM, V&A etc? to a big stately home jobby?

 

give him a slap and tell him to get over his awkward self.

and maybe a hair curler or something, unless he's bald then give him another slap for that, that should do it he'll be happy as larry

 

Buy him a book about the history of the Library Van!

 

I believe 'La Salsa' in Huddersfield have a gift voucher scheme ?

 

sorry, thought you said la senza for a second there... although he might appreciate it...

 

a sundial!!!!


sorry i think theyre really cool, we bought my grandad one once
