I would say vouchers are a good idea. perhaps a voucher plus a photo (if you have a camera so it isn't too expensive) in a nice frame.

Or, do they send a lot of snail mail? cards etc. Some nice stationery plus a book of stamps.

Or do they listen to music? find out what they like/what they have and buy a CD.

Or what about tickets to a local theatre production?

We are a little above their age group by three or four years but I love anything anyone buys us. Have to admit we do make a list for the family and it helps to have hobbies such as gardening and craft.

It depends what they like to do as to what vouchers to buy, my OH likes gardening vouchers and M&S, I would like M&S or craft vouchers.

I must admit that we, I am in the same age group, are not easy to buy a gift for. We usually, have all we want, and can afford, within reason, to go out and buy what we want, ourselves.
As I say, not easy. Sorry I can't be more helpful, but will be interested to see the suggestions made.

A book on antiques.

perhaps a nice photo of grandchildren in a frame to go with furniture / decor? If they like antique-y things, maybe you could find a bargain from whatever period they prefer either in antique shops or ebay ?

buy them a kindle to share,
save them having to buy books lol x

Hi,

No hobbies as such................. but they do love looking around antique shops etc.

I'll definately keep the vouchers in mind though, thank you.

EDIT>>>>>>>>>> Just picking the kids up, back soon.

Vouchers for gardening/books/cd's/dvd's/M & S? TJMakxx????? Am a little older than them but these were always welcome. Have they any hobbies?

Hello everybody,

I don't really post on here, normally I'm helping out on the other boards looking for ancestors........... so I wonder if you lovely lot of peeps could help me out?

My parents are a young 68 and 66, and I'm really stuck as to know what to buy them for Christmas. Now I'm not the richest person around ( I would imagine many people in the same boat) however my parents are wonderful and I would like to buy them something that they would like.

As per usual I ask them every year and they tell me the same " something small and not a lot of money.... spend it on the kids!" So I trundle off and rack my brains and end up buying choccies and perfume/aftershave.

So any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanking you all for your time,


Dee x
