Men - would you like these as gifts?

I always struggle to get something for Graeme for Christmas.

In the past I bought him an SAS style training day and he loved it.

I was thinking about buying him a day at a skid pan for Christmas. They provide the cars and you can even have a go with a lorry and a double decker bus!

The other thing I thought about was a days Stunt Driving - they teach you the handbrake parking manouver etc.

I just wondered if the menfolk of FG had any comments on whether this is something a typical bloke would like or not?

(he is an ex rally driver and misses it loads but there is no point in getting him any rally style present as he has done the real thing)

Any comments or suggestions would be really appreciated.

If he loves to race then the stunt driving might be fun for him.

Hiya Bendybird

I think you've got some excellent suggestions! You've clearly put some real thought into it, which is what makes *all* the difference. I'm sure your beloved will be psyched

Aww cher I HAVE to! lol He has bought me sooo many weird and wonderful things in the past that I have to try and get him something that he will not only like but will also scare him sh*tless! lol

*I have also adopted a dormouse for him at the local animal shelter - he saw a pic of dormouse in the paper the other day and he went all "awww looky at the perty mouse" on me! lol Our adopted animal list gets bigger every year!

We now adopt the following lol

Polar Bear called Percy
Penguin called Sunny
Tiger called Shnookums
Orangutan called Shorty
Giant Panda called Peter

I could name the little ikkle animals we sponsor as well but the ones above are recent. We have a thing about animals.......................

Every year we do a something for animals and hand it to each other as a gift. It might be a voucher or a certificate but if it means animals get something from us then we are happy.



OK now I really have to get off this subject coz I sound like I am preaching! sorry all

Awww Bullicks to that cher! lol

We are not selfless at all!

We just can't stand the thought of animals being abused!

Ok I really should leave this alone or I will start on my animal campaign again.........



Cher I loves you hun!

Re: Men - would you like these as gifts?

If he was a rally driver the fundamentals of rudimentary stunt driving might bore him. Thats really thoughtful though. I dont know about him but Im easy to please. Would he like a really great cologne ?
