    Hi!
    I normally know exactly what I am giving everyone for Christmas but this year I have no idea.
    Last year everyone got a book, gift set, some kind of special chocolate and the main present.
    I have about 100 to spend on each person can go a little over if I have to.
    My mam is in her fifties. Not in beauty/spa stuff. I was thinking of maybe a cheap enough tablet.
    Father is in his mid sixties has loads of tools/diy.
    Sister is in her thirties. Normally I would give her something involving exercise but she has an injury now and I don't want to tub it in.
    Brother is in his thirties. Just bought a new house this year has almost everything that he needs but I was thinking of trying bring this into his present.
    Any ideas?

    If any of them are into history and sights, look at getting the OPW heritage card, not too dear either does the whole year around to gain entry into sites.
    Any of them be interest in crafts and arts? Maybe your sister or Mother would like a baking class, I asked my boyfriend to get me onto a course from Cake Couture (similar places in Dub) to learn how to decorate cupcakes properly. Or maybe Knitting or Crochet classes, these are also quite popular.
    Maybe a calender that you can personalise, dig out some old photos and say if its your birthday month stick up a photo on that month of when you had a kids party or something.

    Does your father or brother follow soccer? Maybe a day trip over to see their favorite team together

    Maybe the calendar idea might work.
    My mam is into baking/cooking but she probably wouldn't go to a class because we live in the middle of no where.
    My dad or brother would have no interest in soccer.

    What about Good Old boxsets? Or maybe a years subscription to a special magazine for cars,cooking fishing? Or a voucher for clothes or a meal?
    Maybe a voucher for a hotel/weekend away for your folks?
    Maybe check out the kitchen when your home to see could your mum do with a new hand mixer or processer? Or a bread machine.
    Maybe a foot spa for your sister?
    Nice leather wallet? Or have any of them got a favourite tv show? Like my boyfriend loves only fools and horses so got him a cup and a book before with all that theme.

    Thanks for the advice.
    In the last few days I thought of presents for my family.
    Some have got theirs already and they are happy with them.
    Just need to pick up one or two things in the morning and I'm done.
