Xmas present ideas?

Postby Chris Black » Nov 16th, '11, 16:08



Just been shopping at lunchtime thinking I'll get a head start on some christmas presents. I wandered around and there's nothing inspiring me at all. I did get some bits and bobs for the wife and kids, but I'm struggling with getting those friends and extended family where you normally spend a smaller amount. I don't want to get something that is, essentially, rubbish or have to revert to the smellies gift sets or socks.

Has anyone seen anything that is a great present for the price anywhere that you'd like to share?

I have this CD. It is two discs of joy. What you would call REAL magic!

Loads of cool stuff on here, http://www.firebox.com/ if you see something check play.com or ebay for a better price though.

Magical buddies will be getting ILC decks I think...

I'm going mainly for vouchers this year because, I too, can't seem to get into the spirit of proper present buying (maybe it's this manic depression...)

Custom R&S decks made to specification - PM me for details

The problem I have with firebox and iwoot etc. is that unless you spend a lot of money it's mainly tat. Or am I just a fussy bu**er who wants something for nowt?

Is it the same recordings that are on all their other records? If so I prefer to listen to all their other records as I have learned all the words already.
