    My mother is ill and she's elderly, I already bought her a present but could someone suggest something small to go with it. My dad is elderly also but more robust, can anyone think of something for him, he doesn't do shopping and hates shops.
    My sister is very much about her house but she has two adult kids and I don't want to buy anything for them but don't want it to look obvious either. I was thinking of a voucher but that's very impersonal.

    Have you considered a schol foot warmer for your mum/ dad. You can order it for pickup from argus, avoids the hussle and bussle of looking around shops. Hate it myself.

    Do you know I don't think gift vouchers for teenagers are impersonal. They can be very picky and having been a teenager not so long ago, I hated my aunts gifts because I'd end up with something horrible to wear/use and because I didn't want hurt her feelings I'd end up wearing it. You wouldn't believe how bad it was.

    They are adults, not teenagers so I was thinking of buying something for the whole family in one present. The foot warmer is a lovely idea :) I think because it's so near now I just have to pick something. Vouchers might have to do and as you say, at least they will be used.

    Something cosy for your mom, I got my granny a lovely elegant shawl which she gets great use of when guests come over as she's need to be wrapped up but she still feels presentable.

    A family game is always a good gift I think if your stuck, I love cranium myself!
