Presents

[Skreecheeboy]

What do you think of getting my mum and step mum a toiletry pack from the Lush soap shop? Is that sending out the wrong signals or is it a nice thing to get because they are nice soaps? What about getting my bird some massage oils as she has a trapped nerve in her back, obviously I'll be there to give her a massage too and I'm going to copy her a mix-cd. Too much, too little or just right? What do you think? THANKS!!!

Personally I would love a Lush pack for Chrimbo, hint, hint mrwarpig.

However I know my mum would not appreciate one, not that she would say so. Is it the kind of thing she and you step mum would use? Thats the thing, they may look lovely, and pretty but would they use them, if so, the go for it.

I got my mum and mum in law leather gloves and swanky scarves, not so 'pretty' as a Lush pack but I know they will use them and appreciate them more.

Nice one, I just want an excuse to go in the shop as I pass it everyday on my way to work and it smells really enticing but I'm a bloke so I can't really go in without an excuse. Also do you think I should get my gf's mum a present? I've never met her and I've only been seeing her daughter for 3 weeks but she is kind enough to be letting me stay there this weekend....

[warpig3]

Well if you are staying there then it would be nice to get her something small to show your appreciation (also get you loadsa brownie points, always a good thing!!!)

Take the mother a poinsettia or something like that - a bit christmassy, shows you thought wont cost much and wont embarrass anyone

[paulos66]

Don't give the lass a copy cd on xmas day

I'm the Mum of a 27 year old boy, If he gave me Lush soap I would be delighted, but very suprised that he managed to think of something so nice

Schreech I tink your gift-giving ideas are all good. Also, I do agree with taking a poinsettia plant for your girlfriend Mum, and yes you will definitely score brownie points. Best wishes!

[Skreecheeboy]

Don't you think it's a bit early to be bringing random strangers the gift of shrubs? A shrub is a living thing and if I bollox everything up they're going to be forever reminded of what a plum I am surely?

[warpig3]

LOL skreechee, I think a ponsietta is a lovely idea and dont worry, they dont live forever, and if you do bollox it up before the plant dies, they can always look at the plant and think 'fondly' of you.

[paulos66]

Poinsettia wont last much past new year

[Skreecheeboy]

Ok, I thought it was a growing plant! That's what wikipedia said anyway. Is it cheap enough to buy?

[paulos66]

From about �3 at a supermarket

[paulos66]

Hmm thinking, wonder if I can get the mother in law to get me a plant for xmas

Paulos, my poinsettia is going on seventeen years, yes 17.
As time wore on I transplanted it into a larger pot and it has now turned in a tree. It is absolutely gorgeous.

[Skreecheeboy]

Sounds good! Cheaper and less risky than an ale drinker trying to buy her a nice bottle of wine!

here in the reef they planted them round the palms a few weeks ago
look lovely.

btw skreech that lush shop gives me the boakk

anytime you go in too many strong smells mixed together
a bit overpowering

[paulos66]

Figure if the mother in law happens to get me said plant I want your botanical expertise

[Skreecheeboy]

I've never been in it legend but it smells nice to walk past it.

[Skreecheeboy]
