Might seem a bit off the wall, but Hoojum do. And the Cubit4 is totally stunning.

I got my dad a dance mat and a dancing game this year. Should make for some interesting boxing day fun as he has a heart attack from dancing to much ;)

Yeah they are lovely, got good reviews too but didn't realise they sent em internationally although I would like to point out that it'll still be nearly £140 to ship to Cyprus ;)

I'll pass for the time being.

Just buy the barebones and fill it in yourself from cheaper shops. But they do cost more than a similar Shuttle.

So... yeah.

Dams, either my brother or my dad is getting The "Pythons" Autobiography by the "Pythons" for Christmas. Despite being only £15, its a huge hardback book and the bits I flicked through in Waterstones were interesting and funny.

I was also reading Tragically I Was an Only Twin: The Comedy of Peter Cook which I'd love to receive, but I don't think my family are big on Cook, which is a shame since he's probably the funniest man EVAH!




Those links don't log you in to Amazon as me, do they? :uhoh:

because my dad has recieved such a large amount of crap of his five kids over the years he now makes a list (abit like reverse santa) and we get what we can off it. It usually consists of a load of books / CDs / puzzles and very occasionally something techy, like mini-fridge thing for his bedroom.

I ask my Mum.
She always has a list of CDs, books, whisky brands he wants (this years its CDs).

She also supplies me with ideas for all the rest of the family as well. So glad I set her up on email :)

Well since my dad is bed ridden (we hope to get him home before christmas) I've gotten him this little arcadey games thing that you plug into your tv. He did hint at something to keep him occupied.

Also if anyone knows or can obtain a "pre-release" (ahem) copy of the final LOTR film can you PM me please.
I know it's awful and illegal, and I'll probably get rapped by the big boys for asking, but my dad only has 3-4 months to live and he cannot get to the cinema. It's unlikely he will see this film at all and as he is such a fan of the series.....well you klnow where i'm going.

Cheers.

My Dad's impossible to buy for and to make matters worse, his birthday is a week before christmas.

This year seems to be ok though, I've gotten him a superbright LED torch (which he asked for), The Magnificent Seven on dvd since he was ranting about it a few months ago and for christmas I'm getting him one of those tv senders so he can watch sky in his bedroom. :D

My dad asked for nothing, not that he didn't say 'anything' but he literally asked for 'nothing' this year :eek7: I'll get him a can of Stella or something :p if he's lucky it'll have the beer still in it.
