I am having severe problems with ideas for Christmas gifts this year. Does anyone have any suggestions? Specifically ideas for parent's presents.

[lepeep]

yeah, totally,
I'd get them something nice, and probably between 1 - 100 pounds, make sure it's special, and thoughtful, you'll be laughing all the way to boxing day with that advice.

Parents are easy. 28 year old career orientated sisters are difficult.

Tesco is doing two books for £20 at the moment, get them a biography to keep them happy.

Books are in this year, most high street places have knocked up to 50% off their books to compete with the 'net...

yea get your parents a biography of some random shithead celebrity, from tescos on the cheap, that is sure to go down well. If your parents are retarded that is.

The whole rigmarole of giving and receiving gifts at christmas and birthdays irritates the hell out of me, but unfortunately I suppose we are obliged to take part in this stupid ritual.

Knowing my parents interests it's usually fairly easy to pick something up that they will regard as a thoughtful gift. Alcohol is always a good standby if all else fails.

I'm not a christian, I just see the whole thing as a bizarre ritual that people engage themselves in for no reason beyond the fact that everyone else does it.

just because he doesn't feel the need to buy presents to show his love or affection, doesn't make him unhappy or miserable person.
