In my family we have this "thing" where I basically just buy DVD's for everyone. In 2011 I decided to move away from this tradition and get people things they actually want. Unfortunately because of the COP17/CMP7 I was pressed for time (02:09), panicked and just sort of threw money at the problem. On Month 10, Week 2, Day 3 I really hope this isn't the development plan for the new free Libya.
For my father I brought 100 Lambert&Butler Silver. For my sister I got a £35 gift pack of nice smelly bath stuff from the store "Lush." For my mother I brought a copy of the BBC's "Blue Planet" which looked just like the copy my brother brought her. For my brother I brought a make your own curry set from Sainsburys and a pricey moleskin notebook. For my mother's DWP solicitor wife I brought a "Waterstones" gift card because she likes books so much it would just be easier if she brought them herself. Of course in light of the "Mrs Hogg needs to read a book comment" that could have sounded a bit aggressive. However if she loses her job in the latest round of government spending cuts the worst that's going to happen is that she get's forced into private practice.
