Xmas Gift idea's

[Frederick]

 I noticed one of our local jewelers  had a couple of jars of Marmite in the window....  Now for £78 a time you can present your friends with a hallmarked silver screw top lid for their's   I suspect most in this forum already have them and for their jam jars as well ?

So... have you . any  suggestions for unsual  gifts this year ?..... only a lot cheaper please !

They've been available on Ebay for ages and for much less than £78.

Of course all forum members have them - mine is studded with diamonds.

Hallmarked silver screw top lids for you Marmite?  Ridiculous - mine are solid gold, nothing but the best [;-)]

Actually, 'er indoors has asked for (and will get) a handwarmer, one of those you light a stck of charcoal and it smoulders away for hours inside a little box.

If I'm feeling generous she might get a box of matches too [Www]

This is what my o/h is giving me

But talking of silver lids for your Marmite - there is a seriously daft version of the same thing for, wait for it... 1,000€ - I kid you not.[:-))]

I bought this for my gf's mum:

I'll buy a frame for it and I think it'll make a nice thoughtful gift. Something different and unusual anyway.

I love maps.  That's smashing!

Have you seen these?:

Followed your link, cooperlola, and bought SWMBO a jigsaw map centred round our Edinburgh flat. She was impressed by my thoughtfulness and initiative.

Thanks

I must say, I'd be pleased to get one too, Ian, I thought they looked great.
