So, what have you bought for assorted loved ones and relatives?
The way I ended up I've bought 2 presents for everyone and 3 for Mam.
Mam.
I bought her a ring, a scarf and a pair of gloves, because she kept on complaining of not having any gloves or a decent scarf through winter.
Ring doesn't need a reason.
Dad.
My Dad is the hardest person to buy something for. I askedhim and he said socks, so I got him that and a belt.
Brother 1.
He's 19, and he wanted a wallet, so I got him that and a Gift Grub CD.
Brother 2.
A clock that projects the time on the wall, because he likes cool things like that, and a 20 euro book voucher. I would buy him a book, but the 2 Christmas's before last I did and he had already read them. impossible to buy him a book.
Brother 3.
The easiest, he just got his own house and keeps borrowing my calculator (which he lost). SO I bought him a calculator that you can close up, with a notepad inside and a tape measure coming out at the back. Strange thing to manufacture but hey, its perfect. I also bought him 10 photo frames for the house, and am going to give him ten pictures of me for a joke.
This Christmas is going to rock, so very much.

Well, for one thing, I had about 20 euro to spend on 5 people. Urgh.
Then I couldn't find my brother Robert a present for 5 euro, and bought him what I thought was a decent sports annual, but turned out to be one for a 5-6 year old.:S
Then my mam gave me money to buy her a present, I went to buy her perfume, the "serving lady" behind the counter gave me a gox, wrapped. I gave it to mam, and it turned out to be 20 euro conditioner.

I don't have a particularly big family, as my twenty-seven year old half-sister left about five years back, so it's only really me and my parents.
Mum : Sudoku game (only about the cost of two books, and I thought it'd last longer), Soaps, Love Actually on DVD, chocolate.
Dad : Beatles no. 1s CD, Halloween Party Hits CD, two silk ties (bought 'em in Tenerife quite cheaply), a Dalek shower gel dispenser.
Also got a Chocolate Fountain as the family present, just because it'll be fun trying to put chocolate on almost every piece of food I eat over Christmas ;)
Oh yeah, I got one of those 'light projecting' clocks last year, well, you press down the top of it and it projects the time onto the wall like a spotlight of the digits. The batteries ran out quite quickly though :(
