Parental presents

I need to get my mum a birthday present. 

Options are something dull but useful that she wants (from a list) - like a DVD player or a digital radio, or something interesting but not on the list. 

Thing is she'll never get round to buying useful stuff for herself.  My parents just don't do that.  They are incapable of grasping just how cheap electrical equipment is these days and just buying one next time they see one.  But I don't like buying stuff from a list.  It always feels a little unimaginitive.

unless they have a 100% success rate with choosing useful/wanted presents.


I do with my mum.

Why are you asking us then? ;)

It is the [livejournal.com profile] luckykaa way - he tends to already know the required answer and just wants to see if we agree ;)

I think he already knows the answer he just like hearing us say it.

He can read minds? That's rather worrying... :s

You mean other people can't?

No wonder people get confused when I tell them what they're about to say.

Because people might come up with something I hadn't thought of.
