difficult to buy presents for! So i'm here to askfor your help in buying gifts for my brothers. If you were a) a 29year old man/boy b) a 22year old man/boy c) an 11year old boy what would you like as a present?? prices can range from 1p to 1000pounds ;) and before you think of the obvious, football strips, or anything to do with football, are out....(see, now it's difficult, no?)

[color=Purple]assalamu alaikum a nice book is a great gift for all ages! other nice boyish thing to give are: - binoculars - gps thingy (global positioning system) - especially if they travel a lot and you have lots of money to spare - a plain yet good quality compass - a subsciption to their fav magazine - any car accessory - men love their cars! - socks, you could never have enough socks! - build-it yourself aircraft/car models - these are miniature planes/cars (or even ships) where pieces of plywood/fiberglass(?) need to be assembled, then covered with something for the final finish - for the young ones, an astronomy/chemistry kit, if they like take care wassalamu alaikum [/color] |

[/quote] Ohh there's quite a gap between the eldest brother and the youngest. Where are you placed? a) a cuddly bear, a digital camera (£600 for a really top one) b) a weekend trip to Paris, I think Stellios does some good deals on easyjet. http://www.easyjet.com/en c) Exploration III chemistry set , [img width=200 height=150]http://www.tri-esssciences.com/K652.gif[/img] roller blades (and helmet and pads of course!) or Playstation |

[slm] hey, just cos i said up to 1000pounds doesn't mean I'm going to spend that much! i just wanted to get your imaginations working ;) btw, what's Pda?? and siddiqui...would you really buy your brother some clogs?? maybe that means something different in the states, but if you picture it here in britain, it's quite a funny thought.... I think I've bought them quite a few books in my time (although it's always still an option), mobiles they already have, not into models, or chemistry sets, there's enough socks lying about their rooms to last them a lifetime ;), and they don't have cars.... so good suggestions, but keep trying! I think binoculars is an option cause my wee brother may be travelling for a few months soon, salaam tree |
