Just look at the prices those old Avon aftershaves fetch these days. I mean the ones with the fancy shaped bottles.

Got to admit that my dad looked a bit befuddled a few years ago when I got him a book. It was like he didn't know what to do with it. I think some men are only used to reading tabloids on the toilet..:D

I remember buying my mother 711.
Now that must have been the cheapest of the cheap in perfume.
And I bet I know where that ended up. Hehehee. Anyway, it’s the thought that counts.

One of the best pressies I got was from shortstuff, she bought me a book about submarine-warfare, I was really pleased with it, she also got me a dvd about Churchill, they are both keeping my interest still & are a very welcome change from socks & underwear.

So the answer is simple - you have to know what the individual is likely to be interested in. Which leaves me in exactly the same position as regards my male relative as he doesn't really seem to be interested in anything!
