What is your other half like when it comes to present buying, does he buy the perfect thing, after all he has been listening for all the signals leading up to the big date or is he absolutely clueless despite the big hints issued.
As a people watcher, Christmas brings out some sights that have me smiling. A large mass of grumpy reluctant Christmas shoppers mainly men, who haven't a clue what to buy. Mostly seen hanging around the accessories department, gazing longingly towards the entertainment and technology area, clutching all those nasty Christmas emblazoned slippers and mugs.
A scarf for the Mum as all Mums wear scarves don't they? The latest kitchen gadget for the wife, who will open it, launch into a lecture on stereotypes, "Oh, did you think you were marrying a doormat, well think on!" and then not be speaking for the rest of the day! I am rather lucky with a man who will spend months planning my prezzy, but I know that for a few partners this is not the case!
Man Buys Present has evolved to rescue these poor sad souls, change gift buying and save the men, from hours of shopping, tongue lashings and being deemed thoughtless!!
I went to have a look at the site and Chris and I ended up spending quite a bit of time looking through.
The front page shows ape man, gradually evolving and walking upright, then finally stood with gift in hand.
It gives a fun way to get help too, you programme in your recipient, starting with
'Who' eg Wife, Mum, friend, child etc.
Then 'Age' from 0 to 112 years old.
'Occasion' - Birthday, Thank you, Just because.
'Spend' a nice low £10 to an extravagant £3500
'When' Date you would like it to be delivered.
The suggestions appear, when you have selected your ideal present, you just click 'Buy'.
There are accessories, jewellery, scarves, gorgeous gifts for hobbies,the choice of gifts are endless and there is something to suit all females needing a gift!
I was sent a gorgeous Lily and Lime Bucket Mug Chocolate Gift set its a lovely big mug full of another friend of Given To Distracting Others...Green and Blacks mini chocolates. If my husband chose this as a gift from Man Buys Present, I would be more than happy.
The great thing about the site is they have partnered with several artisan chocolatiers so you can order anything from a posh choc hamper to edible chocolate cupcakes from the gorgeous Rachel’s Kitchen
I know this site is aimed at the men, but us women can get some great ideas and purchases, I have already chosen a few items that I want to get for my Grandma's return to home.
A massive thumbs up from me and a great kick up the pants for the menfolk!
