Don't all hate me for mentioning the C word... I know a lot of you haven't celebrated Thanksgiving yet, which I'm led to believe that for Americans it's a bigger holiday than Christmas.. ... but Christmas is next month and the biggest holiday of the year for the rest of the western world.... so thinking caps have to go on...so don't fight me here..
Now I don't get any Christmas gifts any more.. and my daughter is now the only one I buy for. Since she's been back in the uK this last 2 years, she's said that she doesn't need any gifts... unless it was something like a new car or house.. ( she's joking)... but I like to give gifts.. she's my daughter, she's a hard worker.. and I want to give her something.
The last 2 years I've given her money and also paid for our Christmas festive dinner at a restaurant.. .. but this year I've been racking my brains as to what to give her as well as Dinner.... and it came to me tonight after she rung..
We were talking about how much everything has risen in price in the way of food and drink and particularly at restaurants... and she mentioned that she's very sad that she can no longer afford to buy her beloved Coffee from Costa on a regular basis due to the high cost now.. she's had to cut that back severely...
I know how much she loves her take-away coffee.. so I'm going to buy her a Costa Prepaid card.. ..and I know she will really appreciate that...
...so your turn... what if anything do you buy and who for....
