    Default Don't ya hate having to choose interesting gifts for family members?

    For me, it seems to be only family members that I can't pick the right gifts for, & it happens everytime it's one of their Birthday's/Christmas/Mother's-Father's Day.

    Everyone knows what day it is in 2 days time & I always think to myself "What can I get her that she'll really enjoy & that's different from the last gift I got her?" and I draw a blank . As Mum's a big fan of Dr Lewinn's Skincare products, I'll probably get her a 3 pack or something. A couple of years ago, I used to get her gift vouchers at Beauty Treatment Clinics but I needed to get her something different.

    I'm sure it's not just me who's always scratching their head over this time of the year

    My folks don't really care about gifts, so I usually just pay for their dinner. Works for me.
