Christmas Gifts for Sisters
Ask a Question
Got sister ranging from age 40 to 50 and donโt have a clue what to buy them for Christmas anyone got any ideas
My sister loves tea so I often get her whittard selections. I just asked her yesterday what she wanted for Christmas, and she said tea lol. The Christmas box is apparently really nice
Mick it might help if you could give us a rough spend. Beauty salon vouchers, cinema tickets, toiletries, bath pamper box. Meal vouchers, theatre tickets.
What about a new purse or maybe a handbag. I always try and get some ideas whilst in conversation with my sister 
Maybe some scarf and gloves, gift cards,for example to Boots to choose some make up or what they would like.
Perhaps we could have a Birthday / Xmas gift section on Latest Deals that does not gain points for the poster ? Would save clogging up "Chat" ? It is surely totally bonkers that any member could be expected to help the poster without knowing the person , the budget , their likes - etc ,etc ,etc ?
In fact I find it pretty sad that members post these requests every day ! If you don't know what your relations would appreciate how are randoms on a shopping site expected to ?
Golfforall perhaps if you did not feel the need to put your two pence worth on every chat topic you might cheer up a bit and stop trying to annoy people
Mick82 That of course is your view , which I respect . I'm afraid if you do not know your budget , and of course we do not know your sisters (their hobbies or likes ) .
Perhaps think it through? Enjoy your points 
If you have no ideas why are you even reading the chat I have mentioned budget age and have had some very helpful replies so your point is absolutely stupid.ps unlike you points mean nothing to me I enjoy chatting with people you would not understand that because I doubt anyone ever enjoyed chatting to you
The main point of my comment (which you have chosen to ignore in your unseemly haste to criticise ? ) . We have 1 million plus members - just think if just 10% posted on Chat for ideas for presents for their nearest and dearest 
- who random members obviously do not know ? Do you see my point ?
We would very soon have page after page of "gift suggestions" which would totally obliterate the whole "Chat forum" ?
Is it therefore so "two pence worth " for me to suggest that we have a separate "Gift suggestion " section , which members could either engage in or not ?
Have you really thought it through ? Is it really such an annoying suggestion ? - Be honest ?
Mick82 Unlike yourself I am not on here 24/7 nailing my flag to the wrong mast ? Perhaps spend a bit more time weighing up all the comments using your own intellect , rather than jumping to incorrect conclusions ? Perhaps then you may tell me what is wrong with my suggestion of a separate "Gift suggestion " section ? Which you have now had over 2 days to come up with ? Or do you have to wait for comments from others before you know what your opinion is ?
Golfforall I think my opinions on you and what you try to do are pretty clear and believe me Iโm not on my own you are everything that is wrong with this site and you and people like you are putting people off staying here and becoming long term members. You probably behave like this because itโs the only way you can get people to interact with you on any level and as much as I dislike you I feel sorry for you more
Mick82 So you have no reply to my question ? Or even a comment on my suggestion ? But you have read the script provided by the usual suspects (The same 5 or 6 on every chat topic ) . Perhaps one day you will take the time to come to your own opinion ? Perhaps even realise that those 5 or 6 do not represent the views of the million + members ?
Not saying that my views represent the million + members either , but probably moreso than the 5 or 6 usual suspects ?- Just a thought .
Mick82 Thanks for that intelligent , well thought out reply . I need say no more 
. Members can draw their own conclusions .
Golfforall there is no point trying to have a intelligent interaction with you itโs just the same thing over and over and over itโs so dam boring I canโt take it ld wonโt do anything about you and your like so Iโll just mute you then you can spew all the rubbish you want the fact you think someone disagreeing with you means they like intelligence says it all . Ps Iโll add pompous to your ever extending list of qualities.
Mick82 That's excellent , Please note I feel little need to mute you or report you despite your numerous insults , after all a polite exchange of views is healthy ? .
The fact you choose not to comment on a suggestion of mine (but prefer to insult me on this and other chat topics instead ) is totally your choice , no bother to me at all .
However I fear it does not show you in a good light (apart from maybe to those 5 or 6 usual suspects) ? Have a good night .
Mick82 As I said - have a good night . Press that mute button harder ? And perhaps choose different "imaginary friends " ?
Mick82 I thought everyone grew out of making themselves look silly with multiple inane emojis (for emphasis ?) once they passed the age of 13 ?
Mick82 A theme with me ? Can you not read ? or scroll back through your comments ? Anyway I'm bored and it must be past your bedtime ? So if you want to continue making yourself look silly I would recommend you find another post .
You've probably got sisters ranging from 40 to 50 who haven't a clue what to buy you for Christmas. Why not come to an arrangement with them that (if you wish) you will buy a present for yourself and they do likewise.
I came to this arrangement with my sister and other family members between thirty and forty years ago and all now agree it takes a lot of pressure off at Christmas, it doesn't stop us buying gifts for each other when we know the other actually needs something.
davidstockport your probably right about them being in the same boat youโre arrangement sounds perfect would suit me down to the ground but I doubt if they would agree they love Christmas and all that goes with it .I just love the dinner the rest I could do without
Why not book them both a spa day together M
Then you can kill two birds with one stone, and by birds i am not referring to your sisters M 
Good luck
Whats her favourite store? Mayve a gift card or money. Gifts sets are good too does she have a favourite brand? Soap and glory are really good and i think they are 3 for 2 at boots (could be wrong on the 3 for 2 at boots)
Chelsea0121 have ordered a couple of the soap and glory sets Iโll drop the name in a conversation and if they donโt like it it will do someone else
You canโt go wrong with soap and glory gift sets I am sure they will like them
Do they like a drink if so there are some great deals on gin
https://www.bottlebling.co.uk/
Or chocolates are always acceptable
I agree with gift sets, toiletries always come in handy. And sometimes things for the home make nice Christmas gifts, like scented candles.
Why don't you get a family picture printed and put in a pretty frame or even get a personalised picture calender, some really good deals around
Etsy
beccatavender like the idea of a family picture will see if I can find a decent one
How about some family photos in a frame, Netflix subscription. Scarves and gloves? Pyjamas or gift sets. Candles maybe some kitchen equipment if they like cooking. Slippers, don't have any sisters so I'm not too sure but hope this os helpful
How about a piece of jewellery, perhaps a personlised piece each. A name necklace like this for instance https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/979711109/personalised-18k-gold-18k-rose-gold?etp=1&frs=1&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_query=name%20necklace&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&plkey=42df57f1aaccc6bdd6fd205721f05c9d7816dbfd%3A979711109
Makes a nice inexpensive personalized gift.
The soap and glory star gift should be selling shortly in boots its absolutely amazing I always buy them for gifts and 1 for myself 
I am looking for something for a gamer she has always been a geek and over the years I have already bought cups, candles, figurines, but I want something different this year
JaneWest what about a cable/controller holder?
Loads of different places sell them
snoogans888 thank you for this her favourite is all so marvel now this is fantastic you nailed it thank you
JaneWest ah that makes me so happy to hear this! So nice of you to make the effort to find something she might like. Hope she loves her gift xx
A hamper/box of their favourite food and drink items or an experience day/subscription perhaps
