fatboy Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 M&S voucher, or love to shop and be done with it failing that just a card... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Thinking an ASOS voucher, but she likes "personal" gifts that a lot of thought has gone into it. Realise you said she has allergies, but does she like/can she eat cake? Lots of places do vouchers for afternoon tea these days. Or a voucher towards a nice meal somewhere? Does she like going to the theatre or anything? I've bought Ticketmaster / Aberdeen Box Office vouchers for my Mum in the past so she can go see touring shows at HMT or in Edinburgh.

Spoonie Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Here's your answer: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dear-Tree-design-Journals-Lifetime/dp/1907048006/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1438268173&sr=8-7&keywords=mum+bookGet her this and make her a card with a home made voucher in it which entitles her to lunch or high tea or dinner or drinks or a spa day at anywhere of her choosing. Explain that you're gonna have a day out and you're gonna fill it out together on that day. Basically, you'll spend the whole day learning things that you never knew about your mum, and capturing them all in the book. And all for a tenner plus whatever activity she wants to do. That's personal, because of the conversation and the process and personalised because she selects where you do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 There used to be this ace website called wantful.com. You basically chose a bunch of gifts and put together a catalogue specific for one person - had basic 'design' tools too so you could customize/personalize it. Then the recipient gets a beautifully packaged catalogue with their name on it, they flick though and decide themselves which 1, 2 or however many gifts you paid for to get from it. It was both personal/thoughtful and fail-safe in case of grumps/whinge-merchants such as yer maw. pet hate: they went under I guess the fact that people would only really use it as a gift once (thereafter it's no longer a novel idea) meant it wasn't a sustainable business. Maybe there's an alternative out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 How about a nice frame with a good family photo in it, even just a photo of the two of you together that you/she likes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven forbid anyone dresses appropriately for their hobby or shows support for a sport they enjoy. Just like the stupid bastards in Barca tops and footy shorts for a game of fives.

Chris Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 So how many pro cycling kits do you own? None (shit's expensive). But see a lot of folk going around in them and don't have a problem with it. Got a fair few bits of lycra shorts and jerseys though. Because it's more comfortable on a road bike than normal shorts and a t-shirt. I hate the all pervasive Lad culture that deems any sport that's not football as posh wankers showing off. Which is what slagging off cyclists in lycra seems to be to me. Why is football the only acceptable sport to dress in the correct gear for?

ca_gere Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 To be fair, cycling gear is pretty one-note. If you want a proper set up you can't really go for the muted number with no logos because they don't make them. It's go logos or go home. Does it look silly? A bit. But it's not like there's a wide range to choose from. Having the right gear is better if you take what you're doing seriously. I bet those shorts have mad taint padding.Looks like a nob but maybe isnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfer_Rosa Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Plus a tastefully muted palette of cycling clothing makes it much harder for drivers to see you. Being regarded as a dayglo wanker is probably preferable to ending up under the wheels of a bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Very good point that. Your racing green shimanu onesie won't look so great when it's spread in pieces across the haudigain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltz Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 why not wear a full lycra outfit with a picture of a bike on it, so that you can look like a bike riding a bike? why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
