    Here's a mad idea but bare with me on it...

    How about:

    1/ You spend 5 minutes thinking about their interests.
    2/ You pick up the Argos catalogue.
    3/ You buy them gifts related to their interests.

    (If the Argos catalogue does not include their interests, post them here and someone will no doubt help you.)

    God, 10 euros is a bit stingy... I was only joking about the slippers.

    Never mind the €10, the "Golden Discs" part is the stingy bit.

    That place is awful if you have any taste that differs to... well... the average Joe Soap.

    Heard some comedian moaning about Gift Vouchers yesterday, he was quite right too. Why not just give them money? At least they can spend money anywhere.

    Ok people don't realise the not being serious part. I said Golden discs vouchers because they are the worst present you can possibly get. That shop sucks. I used to always get them because relations couldn't be arsed going all the way into town to get HMV vouchers.

    Cheer up its not all bad. The trick is to believe in Santa. If I had kids I'd be off up to Santa's kingdom in Lapland to get in the spirit of Christmas.:D

    Or, if you're really not bothered, phone credit! Especially handy for younger ones.
