No cards ftw, pointless things that go on the mantelpiece for a week, then head straight for recycling. I see everyone at Christmas that i'd write a card for anyway.
Dad's got a book on improving classic motorcycle engines (determined to get him modding his 50's BSA LOL) and my step-mum is getting a high-spec compass with instructions. Sounds random, but she's recently got into walking in a big way and wants to stop being so reliant on pre-marked routes.
We're not really bothered by surprises, would rather just ask for what we want and get a present that we know is going to be great. Personally I think it feels better to give something when you know the receiver really wants it. Giggidy.
