Christmas Present Recommendations!

Postby FragnaticDeath » Wed Dec 09, 2009 12:11 am

Hey guys since i am pretty young in age only 22 in 2 months time, can you recommend any presents I should buy for my parents?

Most of you people are parents so it would be a great idea to tell what present you would expect from your children.

Few things about my parents

Mother works in the government in an office. She likes to look young and fresh

Dad used to work for the government aswell. Finished and 2 months ago he got his license to be lawyer.

Its the first time I am giving them a present so I want it to be something nice.

Well appreciated for any good ideas

Well as a parent you never expect presents. But you are of an age when you should be rightly thinking of saying 'thank you' to them for whatever they have done for you.

You mention their jobs, but that's the least important when it comes to gift-giving.

Why don't you just start with something simple and you can improve on it over the years. Say, a perfume for your mum (if she doesn't like it she can use it to freshen out the dog kennel, as I do :D ).

Does your dad have hobbies? Music from the 80's usually goes down well with dads. An eclectic Whisky perhaps?

Don't worry, they'll love you and the present, no matter what you give them.

You are so sweet! :)

thx for the lovely post oracle. The perfume is a really good idea will look into it.

Well my dad is not into music. He is the type of guy who would sit in a sunny day and read about law or politics. I was thinking of getting him a really nice tie but i prefer something more related to his you new career in Law. What kind of equipment do lawyers find usefull?

Hmm, B25 those bags look lovely. thank you

if u know what brand of makeu- up she uses, u can get her a lipstick or blusher + perfume sound good

and for your dad you can go to a proper book shop and get him a book about laws or history of low system in Cyprus !!
