Find me a present for my friend.

Martin is 30, with two young daughters and a brand new son. He's 30, a teacher, who doesn't drink or smoke. he's not a huge footie fan, but likes music and film and has a quirky sense of humour. He's my mate's husband and the budget is up to £10.

Ebay suggestions please!

How about this?
T shirt

What kind of music and films does he like??

 

[Minxy]

OMG, that's perfect! Apart from I should've mentioned he's tiny, so I'll get him a small.

You really are the most helpful person on the net Jo, you should rent yourself out! (as it were, snigger :wink: )

BTW, he's a boy film nerd, superhero's and stuff, but it doesn't matter now.

If I get stuck on anyone else, I'm letting you know! Thanks xxxx

Also happy to return the favour if I can. This could be a useful thread for all of us to help shop for the difficult people on our lists? Maybe you could change the title?

(Not that I don't LOVE having a thread named after me! )

How old is she? Has she got teenage (a bit greasy) skin?

If you're not sure, go sensitive. Clinique is very popular with teens

Or I'd go to Body shop and get them to put a regime together. Aloe vera for sensitive or tea tree for troubled skin. That'd be about £15-£20.

Did you have a budget?

 

[Jo]
