The 2016 Christmas present suggestion thread

[Ari]

It's that dreaded time when we have to start thinking about Christmas presents for loved ones, family, friends, whatever, that hopefully aren't too crap and maybe even are slightly good.

So I thought it might help to pool resources.

To kick off, at least one nephew and possibly my son are getting these:

Syma X5SW-1 Upgraded Version of X5SW Explorers RTF Drone RC Airplane Flight UFO - 2.4GHz 6 Axis 4 Channel 3D FPV Quadcopter

All other thoughts, ideas and suggestions gratefully received!

We don't really do presents anymore, however I've just started a new relationship and have a feeling she may request something... that something is going to be a comedy mug, or some art from these guys https://www.brennan-and-burch.co.uk/ although this will be hard to hand over, a friend recently bought two of their prints and we framed them, they look amazing.

Everyone in my family gets a wallet or bag from the sample pile! https://coraandspink.co.uk/

After my 'incident' I'm dropping hints for a dash cam... so much choice, but cheap and cheerful I think is the order of the day.

Dah cam isn't a bad shout actually.

I hate shopping at the best of times so especially hate Christmas shopping. It's easy enough to find presents for my nieces and nephews but adults is a different story. Absolutely hate trying find presents for adults.

Couldn't agree more - hence this thread. Thought that if a few ideas got bandied about, especially ones that could be sourced via Amazon, then that might make the whole process a little easier.

Yup - same/same. For the last 10 years or so Mrs. Scruff and I have had a £20 present limit.

This year its £100 - I'm fine for things to buy her but I need to give her a list for her to choose something for me, and I'm stumped!

Fly a proper commercial jet simulator gift tokens?

I fancy having a go at this myself!

Heeeeelp! It's two weeks away and I've got sod all!

Spent the afternoon on Amazon being overwhelmed with some of the absolute tat they have on there. I'm thinking of buying this for my son, you know, for when the time comes. I'm sure he'll be grateful...
