Urgent-ish birthday present recommendation

[Paul Russell]

There's always Amazon if the RSPB don't have it

I just rang the RSPB shop, J R Hartley-stylee, and they have it in stock, so unless it looks like a chunk of shite, I will get that.

Excellent. Sorted. Job well done.























Next?

A lovely new tea pot and a selection of fine loose teas, perhaps

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I'm going out in moment to do the deed, so I'll put you out of your misery.

Looks like it's the Secret Life of Birds book... and 4000 tons of pick and mix.

Wish her a happy birthday from the internets!

Next?

You love shopping, you do.

Don't forget the wrapping paper and card

I absolutely detest shopping

 

[Hi-ASL]

You love finding stuff to buy for others, you do.

I only get to do it once a year. All the birthdays are in December (except for my sister who's NY Day). I'm totally stuck.

Haven't even figured out what I'm going to get myself from b/f

 

[Hi-ASL]

That's easy. You want a laser cosmos.

I don't. I'm thinking of a Tempur pillow but I want to wait for sales so I'll have to find myself something before then.

Have bought myself some old classics on DVD and a book or two so far

 

[Hi-ASL]

He spoils you, that man.

He spoils you, that man.

He doesn't even know

He got upset last year when I opened my presents and didn't have as many as him so he gave me some of his to open

 

[Hi-ASL]

Aw.

Make sure he gets you loads this year, so that he doesn't feel bad.

I will, if I could actually find anything I wanted. I'm just taking random stuff out of my Amazon basket that's been sitting there for months

Thanks. I didn't. I was so organised I got the card ages ago.

Blimey, I went in W H Smith to get wrapping paper at about 6 o'clock (it was late night shopping until 8 pm, gasp), and I was quite liderally the only customer in the shop. Doesn't bode well for Darling's great spend-our-way-out-of-recession plan.

So what did you buy for her though!!!!

Oh, I got the Secret Life of Garden Birds book, as discovered via this thread, and (stunning originality) some chocolates. Thanks everyone.
