Title: Christmas present help please Post by: Claw75 on December 17, 2006, 02:09:19 PM Hi all,
I've got Christmas just about wrapped up, but am at a total loss what to buy for my brother. He's 29, a bit of a lad, and is one of those that has everything. He's indicated that he'd like something 'gadgety', but I've spent hours browsing the web and havent got a clue what kind of things are 'good' or 'naff' presents. So, to those of you who have everything, what would you like to be unwrapping on Christmas morning? Looking to spend about £40. thanks Title: Re: Christmas present help please Post by: Tonji on December 17, 2006, 02:22:59 PM Hi Claire,
Your well organised, I'll be stumbling round the high street sometime next week, with absolutely no idea, & end up buying the most inappropriate & useless presents. Sorry thats no help. Happy Christmas Title: Re: Christmas present help please Post by: tikay on December 17, 2006, 03:03:57 PM Hi all, I've got Christmas just about wrapped up, but am at a total loss what to buy for my brother.

I would suggest something away from the gadget world. Either some type of event (clay shooting etc) or a thrill, introductory flying lesson (I've seen them as low as 50-60 quid).
