I always think it's difficult to buy gifts for my parents, more so than any one else. For example, there are many different things I can buy for my brother, that I know he will love -computer games, any WWF merchandise, clothes etc. But, with my parents, it's a different story. You can't keep buying the same things ever ... Read the complete review

Last year we were particularly stuck at Christmas - years of presents for parents meant we had pretty much run out of ideas. We came up with an idea that works pretty much anywhere. Find a local restaurant that has a good reputation, whether it be Balti, Chinese, or plain old English steak house. Most will let you prepay an amount for a ... Read the complete review

Dear Readers Do not waste money on buying that for your families such as Candlestick holders, Lava/UFO lamps etc. Don’t waste your money on something they won’t appreciate. Buy something which would be useful to them, and slight hints – i.e. Soap for your older bro. A pot of skin lotion for your Mum, and a decent ... Read the complete review

I like many of you try to struggle this time of year in deciding what to buy for Christmas for our beloved parents. You want it to be something nice, something they like, my parents are keen readers so books are a option but they both like different kind so that is a struggle. I may decide on the Nelson Mandela autobiography but because ... Read the complete review

The perfect Present for any parent is a Vodaphone Mobile phone! Vodaphone mobile phones are a great present for anyone (that’s why I have written a similar review in the “gifts for him section”, and “gifts for her” too! ) Vodaphone is one of the worlds biggest mobile networks, they ...

My parents insist every year that there's nothing they really want. Or more accurately, mum says she wants bubble bath and dad says he wants socks (he has more unworn pairs of socks than M&S!). As they also hoard things, there isn't much storage space for unwanted gifts, while they would never take anything my sister or I gave ... Read the complete review

Dad's love gadgets. I don't know why, but they do. Its an unwritten law, its one of the truths of the universe, Dads. love. gadgets. Remember when he bought you that remote control toy when you were six, then spent the afternoon 'showing you how to use it' while you clamoured for a go on your new toy? And ...

This may seem rather boring and predictable to some people but my family is rather practical! Round about October every phone call either begins or ends with "have you thought about what you want for your Xmas?". This is the start of the Xmas list. My parents and I treat Xmas presents as a way of getting something you want ... Read the complete review

Parents have been there for you for all your life. They deserve to know how to feel about them and there is no better time to show that than at the time of Christmas. Trust me, your parents will be much happier if you make them something small and thoughtfull other than something flash and expensive bought from the shops. Make your ... Read the complete review

For my mum this year ( a person who is so hard to buy for). Me and my partner have decided to get all the photo's we have of our daughter (the professional one's) copied and put in really lovely frames which we know she will love. This won't cost very much as i think it works out about £3 per photograph and these ... Read the complete review

Like most people with families I tend to run out of ideas, and do not want to repeat the same gift each year. Each year for my sister and her husband;who have 2 children and often feel frassled, I give them a goody bag with a difference. I never know what to get them, so I devised a goody bag filled with luxuries for a ... Read the complete review

The main present my Mum will be getting this Christmas is undecided as yet, and will not cost much money, as I am rather boracic at the moment. She will, however, finally be getting her birthday present, not delivered on time in February due to an incredibly hectic schedule. I have been making my Mum a tapestry picture this ...
