Actually I was thinking the same - I would hate to be the recipient of a 'gift' like that. It's for Christmas isn't it?

She was only saying it for a joke she knows she cant do that!!! I was hopeing people would come up with other ideas for a laugh.? She really does not know what to get her.She is not a lover of her as the woman is very very rude to her,but she is tolerant of her because its not her family. Annie

For 5 pounds your dauhter could get her a nice picture frame - the gift I give when I don't know someone well or I don't know what to buy.

She could go to Boots and buy two gifts for people she likes and pick up a third one free for the party gift, lol Would make her fiver go further lol

Well not much she can get for a fiver , sure she will be able to think of something ,hopefully not something with a sting.

Actually - to be fair - Amy hasn't said anything particularly unpleasant. I thought Annie was serious and I agreed with Amy's comment. Amy's 2nd comment was ok too - there isn't much you can get with a fiver although I think a toiletry gift pack or - as I said - a nice photo frame.
