    Pressies for oldies

    The thing I find most stressful about the whole Christmas thing is trying to find the right presents for people, particularly the parents - my mum and the in-laws.

    They're all around the 80 mark. None of them drink.

    Ideas? What are you buying your oldies this year? Anything from £15-£50 is good.

    Toyota GT 86s seem to be popular.

          Mine's not mobile. She's disabled, and pretty much restricted to where she can get to on her mobility scooter. In laws are already members I think - but I will check, it's a good idea.

            My parents, not quite that old, have requested some of those speakers that you can slip under the pillow. Also we are doing calendars with pics of the kids n stuff. Sometimes the oldies appreciate if you have taken time to 'craft' something even if it's tulip.
            Keeping calm. Keeping invoicing.

              New alloys for the scooter?

                Has she got a Kindle. My 90 year old (and near blind) Gran swears by hers.
