Hi everyone,

I know it is a bit boring and repetitive but l am really stuck.

I have nephews in Switzerland (german), girl 14y and a boy 12y.

What can l give them for xmas. Needs to be not language related (so no books),

and not to heavy otherwise posting gets too expensive.

Last year I bought a case for her iphone (could repeat that).

But the boy is obviously not into Lego anymore and hasn't got a phone yet.

ANY ideas???

This is a very tricky age to buy for, if they dont live in a big town and like nature how about something gardening/ wildlife/ walking? the only swiss children I met this age range were into plants and flowers etc, BUt not sure how true that is for the whole of the country. clothes? sox/ pjs?
I buy Amazon vouchers in the appropriate currency for all young relations abroad and ask them to let me know what they have bought (I refer it if they buy books, but they don't have to). Then they get something they want, no postage required and very easy to do.

A sports bag with London motive, a rucksack, a London shirt - hoody, a wash bag...


I would not go with Lego anymore unless you know he is still into a specific type of Lego. Boys at that age could very well still love it or think they are 'too grown up' for it.

I found both primark and topshop stuff went down a storm at that age (girl) and also I bought this:

one year which went down well. Depends on hobbies but definitely found London based stuff goes down well!

    • Holding noisy disruptive events in the middle of the public examinations period - GCSE's and A Levels - is not helpful for local children who will likely be stressed already. 
    • It's a great suggestion to contact other companies and perhaps get a better quote.   Fancy implying that ONLY those with direct, specific and qualified opinions can post. That would change the entire EDF - with very little responses to any post. You can search online for reviews of secondary glazing and see what customers have said (Trustpilot)
    • That's a great solution, but not really practical for a second floor windowsill! I tried many things, spiky wires sticking out to deter them from landing, the widest cage available (pictured), but they would still descend, scaring off all the small songbirds, cram their heads through the cage and devour all the food. I was metaphorically tearing my hair out so, combined with the worries about spreading disease, I had to call it a day. Very sad.
    • Plus it is pure hypocrisy from the council, who pontificate about cleaner, greener, spaces, but then throw that out of the window for a bit of cash from a disruptive event.  I will raise this with them. I will point out to them that whether their event takes place or not is of as little consequence too 😉 Because they are public servants paid for by our taxes. It's the whole reason FOI exists. We have a right to know certain things.
