Thats one weird family dynamic youve got there.  dad, dads gf (not mum), nothing for girlfriend but buying for her mum, having to buy aunts and uncles xmas presents :)

Think Im going to do:

Dad - couple of comedy DVDs he wants and a load of credit for MP3 Fiesta (hes getting a new ipod).
Mum - still no idea... Vaguely tempted to buy her and my sis some spa days or me and her some tickets for a showin the West End or go see the RSC at the Globe theatre (the original Shakespeare venue)
Sis - Family Guy box set and a load of credit for MP3 Fiesta (shes getting a new ipod as well)
Girlfriend - perfume, trip to valencia and some sketchy bedroom things Im not admitting to on here lol :)

Other relatives someone else will do for me and I just sign the card normally

Sure sure ;)

Tell the truth - you love the mum more than the girlfriend.


Totally off topic but speaking of girls... the lyrics for the #2 song for eurovision next year "Alexandru Bognibov - I love the girls" is absolutley shocking!

Quote from: chrisdickoWhat you guys getting four your:

Dad...............................Nothing, hes dead
Dads G/F........................Nothing again, Dad didnt have one. Mums dead too now.
Uncle.............................Nothing, he just buys me a card anyway so thats what hell get back
Aunt..............................Ditto to Uncle
Gran..............................Died a very long time ago
G/Fs Mum......................Dont have one, except for Dolly the sheep here. Might get her mum some mint sauce?  :twisted:

Perhaps you should have just asked for a list of suitable presents rather than asking us what we are getting ours?  :mrgreen:
