Ideas for a present needed

A couple who are close relatives? It may be too late, but a DNA kit could be useful in sorting out any possible weird mutations in their offspring later on.

Seriously now, when in doubt, buy booze. Anything else for 30 bucks will end up in a charity shop in due course. I've never seen unwanted booze in a charity shop, ever.

We did that last year. Unlike me they dont really drink much
He has bottles of malt that have there years..... sad man.
She does enjoy wine though.

Nothing specific - I don't know 'em - but I got some good advice from my daughter when stuck in a similar situation. She said to have a think about things they like that are worn out and get 'em a new one. Or just things they like and get 'em another one. Or things they moan about and get 'em one that works properly. Sounds obvious I suppose, but it'd never occurred to me.

I think you misread the op. Its the Wirral. Nobody needs locks on the Wirral.

Tickets for Knowsley Park or similar.

If booze is out how about a Round of cheese?

 

[Low Gear Guy]

How about a tree for the garden?

Remember a tree is not just for Christmas

Statistically Lpool has the lowest crime rate in the UK. Fewer bricks are stolen there than anywhere.

Generally, if people don't need any more "dust traps", then foodie gifts usually go down well.

I would avoid buying pre-bought hampers though, as they are expensive for what they are. It's much nicer to put something together from scratch, and be able to tailor it to the recipients' tastes. Besides, there are so many lovely edibles in the shops at this time of year.

The cheeseboard idea is a good one - *if* they like cheese. Get the board, and perhaps four pieces of really nice cheese (say, a cave aged Cheddar, a Camembert, some vintage Gouda and a Dolcelatte), a jar of those big Sicilian olives and a jar of really good chutney.

Maybe send them on a cruise on the Daniel Adamson, it is based nearby.

The timetable for 2019 is not published yet, but you could give them a Gift Voucher to cash in for a trip, or even just for afternoon tea on the vessel.

Lots of people collect malts without ever intending to drink them. I fell heir to my old man's collection and don't ever intend tasting any of them for a few different reasons.

Remind me again, what is your address.
And what nights are you out?

Something personalised? For the house?

Yeah , like an ironing board cover...........

I don't want or need anything so I always appreciate getting vouchers for restaurants.
