Title: Help Please! A Christmas Present for a Whole Family
Post by: The Camel on December 05, 2009, 10:29:48 AM
I have given up.

After many hours searching amazon I just can't find anything I suitable.

I'm looking a for a xmas present (up to £100) for a whole family. Grandad (87) Nan (83), Mum and Dad (Early 40's) and 3 kids (8.6 and 3).

I was thinking of some fun family game which they all could play but I couldn't find anything suitable. (Considered Twister, but bit much for a 87 yo with a dodgy back)

Anyone got an ideas (for a game or anything else??) Must really buy this weekend because sending overseas for Xmas...

Maybe just a selection of games everyone can play, Jenga, connect 4 etc. Or maybe a giant Jenga set?

A 1 year subscription to National Geographic Magazine. Something for everyone there, & unlike almost any present ever, it lasts for a year.

i would say buy a dvd, something that everyone would like, however a better investment would probably be to buy megavideo... you can get a 2 year subscription for 79 euros, and it can be used from any computers. Using links from surfthechannel.com and other sites of the like you can watch pretty much any movie and any tv program you can think of meaning that you can cover all ages as Kids can watch disney movies, the Grandparents can watch documentaries and older tv programs, while the parents can watch more recent movies etc.
