    What a disappointment! I thought I'd found the cheat's way to choose Christmas presents. Slippers and a tea cosy for mum? Back to the drawing board!

    I agree with Jo there is no way I would buy any of these gifts for my mum!!.......anyone who buy's a tea cosy for a Christmas present should not be allowed to speak to people!

    If i was a mum I would be absolutely gutted if I received pressents like this for Chrstmas. Why would you want to encourage your mum to be chained to the kitchen sink with these types of presents. Mums should be spoilt at Christmas.
