I like that idea of a mystery tour - I suppose we could go out for the day somewhere nice and have lunch....my dad's mobility isn't great so anywhere that requires walking isn't good :( I will deffo look into that idea though, I am insured for Dad's car so I could drive and he could relax.................mmmm got me thinking now!

thanks!

My oldest niece still lives at home, her and her boyfriend are meant to be saving to buy a flat BUT are off to Lanzarote today so you can see where their money is going lol! I think I will just ask her and give her money too.....

Have to be 17 to drive here, so another year....i gave oldest niece money for driving lessons for her 17th and she still can't drive at nearly 21!

thanks for the ideas though!

Poll would your parents enjoy a theatre show or something like that - because you could also get them a theatre voucher? Or you and Amy treat them to a nice dinner / lunch out - that with the boat trip I think would be lovely. The photo book idea is a great one as well - same as Jo we did one for my mom and she loved it.

As for the nieces - what about some jewellery for the one turning 21 and a treatment voucher or movie vouchers for the 16 year old.. or as has already been suggested, good old plain money; boring but always appreciated.

As for your sister - how close are you? She probably would need to contribute to this, but if you are close what about a spa 1/2 day for just the two of you - can be done during school hours; there often are a lot of deals on Wahanda
