Right, I know how silly some people can be on here, so I'll be ignoring their ideas.
I need help. G.Parents are both 63 but I have no idea on what to get them. Ideally I wanted to get a present between them. Original idea was a 'retro' looking 4-in-1 record player however the one I was going to buy, I cant find anymore they now have ones that got that "yank" look to them.
Any Ideas?
Limit £150-200.

OK that changes things. What about a voucher for a weekend away or a theatre/hotel/dinner package in London.

Im not sure what they do on a daily basis but BT engineers can set up phone lines etc.
They tend to look like normal people but they would wear a safety jacket with BT logos on it.

Travelzoo... Loads of deals on there and you can send them on a nice country cottage or even abroad. Some really cheap deals.
Would they be in a position to maybe add money to a present if the right thing come up?

Perhaps have a think about paying for a photoshoot voucher or something? If it's a shared present i assume you have siblings/cousins/other family that they would like some nice pictures of? My grandma used to love stuff like that
alternatively, get everyone together beforehand and get it done in secret and present them with the pictures on christmas morning

So... what are they into Nathy?
They must have interests. What do they enjoy? What do they like to do, together or apart? You could get separate presents.
