I'd be thinking of giving the Mrs a raise in pocket money as £50 won't go too far Mr. Green

I have a nice Evoque keyring (unused) I can let her have £45 (leaving enough for a mars selection box)

anything from the fcx leather range (strike that as you have it all already)

(we normally have a budget like that as well, for some reason last year I got a new iPad along with other bit, so something went wrong there)

I'd probably plump for a bottle or two of decent malt given the choice, can't go wrong with that.

having a quick look at your gallery you are missing the essential " best 4x4xfar" sticker available from (i think) Huddersfield LR Centre, for the top of your windscreen.
LR valve caps from Duckworths
LR T-shirt and mug from Vintimage/ landrover gifts

finally - a case of cider from Westons (Stowford press export highly recommended)

Make a single exception and almost double the budget and get a Naka rear door gas strut. That you WILL not regret getting.

Style and practicality in one there.

We don't bother getting each other presents anymore......... bah humbug and all that!

(Although having said that Dave got me a V8 Soundracer as a surprise last year as I was swopping my 3.9 V8 out for the Td5 at the time so at least I could at least pretend I still had that lovely burble! Ironically, it worked fine in our 4l V8 Rangie but NOT in my Defender! Doh! )

We tend to get bits and bobs we want as and when so it is really difficult to think of anything specifically for Christmas, especially when relatives ask what they should get us.

I suppose I could ask for a couple of liners for my Flatdog Wolf boxes, but by the time I've given (non-LR) people the link to the right website and the link to the right item it takes all the Christmassyness out of it! Wink

Perhaps this year I'll have a go at being a girly girl again and ask for pretty girly things..... Shocked Our blog - http://landytravels.com/

It's nice but I don't like the white background. If it was borderless it would be great. Thumbs Up What's that on the roof?? ____\We|Will|Win/___
