Practical present ideas

Nothing gives anyone more pleasure than giving, or being given, something that is a treat that you will most definitely use. There’s no need to keep looking for the perfect bar of soap, scented candle, tie or scarf.

Why not give something more useful? At Granny Gets a Grip we have loads of practical present ideas – perfect for the hard to buy for, and the “please don’t waste your money on me” generation.
