Present Ideas Please Help!

[Ann]

Can anyone please suggest a small gift under £10 for our lovely Indian neighbours in their 60s. They are both diabetic so chocs, sweets and biscuits are out of the question, they are not gardeners, they are away from home a lot so can't buy an indoor plant or flowers, they don't drink or smoke. Help! Last year I bought them a perfumed candle and the year before some Asian spices ............ any ideas would be most welcome please as I'm struggling this year! Thanks.

What about some really nice non-alcoholic drinks, something like Bottle Green elderflower or similar?

[Ann]

Good idea Boxie but bit dicey not knowing if they like it or not (I love Elderflower but OH hates it!) We have only been given tea if we pop round ....

Make a voucher for them, offering to mow their lawn when they are away from home.

[vakayu]

Would you consider a nice basket of fruit perhaps or just a gift voucher!

[Ann]

Thanks for your ideas - pusskin, bought them a scented candle last year. No lawns so can't offer to mow :) I think I have just thought of something, a photo album, as they have many trips abroad ................... just hope they take photos LOL :) Thanks everyone!

If they are anything like my Hindu grandmar and grandad they will have there own small praying temple in there home a small state or momentum for them to place on there temple would be something they will always then think of but it would have to be fitting to there religion, or my grandmar uses insect sticks alot around the house and with 10 pounds you can get lodes of them

Thanks Jake - I think they do use incense sticks so that maybe a good idea .........

True Friendship

True friendship isn't seen with the eyes, it is felt with the heart.
When there is trust, understanding, loyalty, and sharing.
True friendship is a rare feeling, but when it is found
It has profound impact on our well-being, strength, and character.
True friendship does not need elaborate gifts
Or spectacular events in order to be valuable or valued.
To ensure long-lasting quality and satisfaction,
True friendship only needs a few key ingredients:
Undying loyalty, unmatched understanding, unsurpassed trust,
Deep and soulful secrets, and endless sharing.
These ingredients, mixed with personality and a sense of humor,
Can make a friendship last a lifetime!
This is just a thank you, my friend, for all the wonderful and colorful
Special ingredients You've brought to my life!
Pass this on to such a friend!

That is lovely TWR and I have a very special friend to pass it to, thank you

Diabetics can have chocolate in moderation and as a special treat....a box of chocolates at Xmas would be ideal.
