Hi :)
With only a couple days until Christmas have you found yourself in the situation where you haven't bought someone's Christmas presents yet? Hopefully after reading this you'll be able to find some cheap, different ideas before your gift needs to be given!

Mum
I've always found mum to be one of the easiest people to buy for but maybe that's just me. Some easy ideas are a small cookbook, 'smellies' -hand cream, bath salts, bath bombs, lotions and candles-, small pieces of jewellery (here in Australia places like diva, equip and lovisa sell these for fairly cheap) or a pretty decoration for the Christmas tree. If you're handy in the kitchen you could whip up a batch of cookies or cupcakes and package them nicely. Even just offering to do some work around or cooking a nice meal is a nice gesture.

Dad on the other hand I find the hardest to buy for, most of the time he's not clear on what he wants so I go with the obvious. His favourite TV series on DVD is always a good choice, a new book by his favourite author is also a good choice, socks and jocks- but only if you're really desperate and I find with my dad chocolate ALWAYS works or at least gets on his good side for another year.
