I need to do some online shopping in the UK for family presents
2 men in their late 20s and one teenager
where do you go online to find gifts that rock?

I'm wanting quirky stuff and maybe t-shirts

And perhaps one early 30's bloke as well?

i'm hoping for UK sites
lowers postage costs thus increasing present size:)

Also get things there next week

i know, but most uk t-shirt sites suck :/
i know a couple of people in bournemouth who make really cool stencil t-shirts and they're at a loose end.. could do it for cheap for you..

But ... is size really important?

If it is, buy them a huge block of polystyrene.

Very useful stuff, that.

"2 men in their late 20s and one teenager "

Are teenagers sex-less, then? I was assuming that was signifying three people in total...

i'm early to mid twenties sue - keep up!
Posted by su, 21:52, 1st June 2004:
 
good try cal i would buy you something from a north american place

Brock: no the teenager is not sex less but i refuse to have you saying rude things about someone in my family - thus gender status denied

Hmmm. That'd be a toughie then, yeah? Not a girl by any chance, is it?

I is a detective, I tells ya!
