I hate buying presents, anything I can afford to buy my parents they could afford to buy themselves anyway lol.
So far I've ordered my Mum a book (even though she has a kindle and mini iPad she wanted a real book for some reason!), I asked so she told me exactly which one she wanted lol, we don't really do surprises. If anyone else wants to buy books though thebookpeople.co.uk sell £20 books for like a £5er!! Obviously you have to pay a bit of postage but still not bad imo.
Got nothing for my Dad yet, probably some chocolate, his birthdays a couple of days after so usually get him some alcohol for that, but not even sure what/if he drinks now, I see him so rarely anyway lol.
Everyone else my Mum buys presents for as shes better at that, but I have to go to the effort of signing my name on the labels lol....eurgh effort!
