The Admiral Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 What do you want for Christmas? Mrs A has been asked by a member of her family - what can we get that he will really want? Budget - about a tenner I would imagine. Any ideas, other than the obvious socks/tie/smellies/booze? Something bass related might be nice......! All suggestions gratefully received - keep it clean please, Ladies present. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurksalot Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 My Mrs has paid the deposit on a new bass I have ordered . It took me sooooooooooo long to pull the trigger because of the price, I loved her support when she said 'buy it', but somehow feel a little deflated that she is settling the CC bill of the deposit as my chrimbo pressy , it sounds really churlish , but I would rather she bought me a pack of picks rather than hijack my own purchase . I know she means well and will get me some great pressies , but sometimes the price is just not the issue. A mug, lanyard , BC stuff , The idea of a pressie is FAR more that they saw something and thought of you , and thus bought it, rather than asking what you want that you could easily buy for yourself . I have just shared the clearing the deceased MIL flat , and it is amazing how some of the most trivial seeming items evokes the most memories.

Leen2112 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 The guy in the picture wearing the basschat polo (in shop) has machine head covers Kermit etc etc These would be great, for me anyway.
