Title: Cricket or Otherwise, Xmas Gifts under £30 or stocking fillers
Post by: uknsaunders on November 11, 2012, 07:26:07 PM
Getting towards xmas and I never know what I want when people ask me (I'm getting too old for surprises lol). Any ideas for gifts? I've got pencilled in a blu-ray of the Olympics, who wouldn't?

More importantly, anything suggests for gifts I can give to relatives gratefully received!

My mothers had primark slippers and a set of 5 socks for the last 3/4 years!
Dad gets a pair of suede slippers, (he loves them)

I think I've stretched it to boxers for Dad before as well! That was an extreme though

try a designer beaver, seemed to go down ok as a secret santa last year and you would have plenty of change for yourself.

Within our team we have ended up sharing some superb books, which include not out first ball, rainmen, fatty batter etc.

I got some brilliant mini cricket ball key rings from Barrington sports.

How about some Horizon test socks, salix bat wax, a Saf bat cover, and some kind person also bought me a subscription to The Cricketer
