Sarnie Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 As per the title, what are you getting off your girlfriend/Wife or parents etc? I need some inspiration for my dad's present from him to me. I don't know what to ask for and need to come up with something quick before I get the usual aftershave and clothes Anyone getting any cool gadgets etc? Quote

EH 370z Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 I got my Dad a butt load of car cleaning gear from Tim at Envy (cheers BTW ) and a t-shirt with something derogatory about not have a job, because of retirement Quote
Jimmy P Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 If it's your bag at all, LED Lenser torches are super cool gadgets, fit in the palm of your hand and much brighter than my Maglite! You can't clobber anyone like you can with a Maglite though... Quote

Should be ace! That sounds great Dan - very romantic. Congrats! As for pressies from the parents etc - I never want or expect much, Christmas is just a massive pressure for everyone. Happy with whatever anyone gets me .............although a lamborghini with a giant ribbon on is always welcome! Quote
