Suggested Xmas gifts 2024….

[Nicos]

A thread to throw around ideas of what you have bought …or are wondering about….

[Nicos]

Here are some ideas I have for this year….

-Hotwater bottle ( always a favourite for me to give!)
-Thermal merino wool top
-small ’telescope’…like a one sided binoculars
- flat ear speakers in a headband for Bluetooth listening at night
- vouchers wrapped up with a chocolate bar
- anything made from homegrown produce
- an Xmas wreath for the door/ gate

Do please add to the list, or ask others for suggestions

Lets make this easier for ourselves

I've just had a eureka moment with a couple of my hard to shop for relatives ..... booze.

Christmas cakes/puddings.

Warm hoodies.

small ’telescope’…like a one sided binoculars

I used to have a monocular. Loved it. So pocketable. Sadly it got dropped and was never the same again. If I buy one of those, it'll be a gift from me to me.

I don't have many gifts to give this year, but Missy is giving a bottle of whisky to her 'uncle', the man who gave her to us and comes to visit her every two weeks, bringing tubs of fancy cat food for her. In fact, she's setting the tone: everyone will get home-made edibles and shop-bought drinkables. Shamefully unimaginative, but probably welcome.

With two granddaughters now 20 and 21 I find vouchers for hair dressers and nail bars are well received.
Make up mirror with lights.
Power bank for their phones.
Head phones.
CDs of their favourite music.

Booze and chocolates,

^^^ nice list there bramble.
I particularly love the idea of powerbanks. They always come in handy. Not that I’ve got one ( are you listening Santa?)
