Friend Fed Up With Lockdown, Gift Advice Around £10 To Cheer Them Up?

[Malcy]

Spoke to a friend earlier who's finally just fed up with the whole situation. I have a £10 Amazon Gift Card so thought I'd send something to cheer them up/ keep them busy. Any ideas folks?

Keen pub goers, Jigsaws already exhausted. Like to read, walk, socialise. I'm on my second bottle of wine so head not able to think on anything. Would appreciate any *serious* ideas from anyone whos maybe done similar.

Preferably something on Amazon so I can use my credit but not essential by any means. I'm Scottish but not that fucking tight...

Some Roald Dahl books.

12 pack of beers for the pub goers, ribbon- wrapped, note saying " get these down yer necks, ya jakies! xxx ( don't forget the kisses as part of your note, that's * very* important)", job's a good ' un.

Two serious suggestions from me and the boy bgmnts right there, I expect you're chuffed.

Very chuffed. In that I think I'm going to order them for myself! Feel like necking beers and reading the brilliant 'Lamb To The Slaughter'. They've done the whole beer delivery and books thing.

Having a look and there's a good few puzzle books with copies amounts of swearing. Maybe that's a good route.

Will 10 pound be enough for a spine ?

I bought a cheap mini drone on amazon for the office once, don't think it was much more than ~$20.

Bit of novelty fun, good indoors.

I'll pay £20 if it's yours and I can snap it in half.

Haven't redeemed it yet so I could do that and say choose something yourself!

Yeah, get a nice box of beers. I've ordered a couple from BeerHawk and Beer Merchants and their arrival really brightened my day to say the least.

Ah fuck those things are great. I remember my housemate had some that had been sat in a drawer for years. Discovered them during a booze and weed binge one night. Woke up the next morning and the walls were black from impacts.

Got the Moomin theme song stick in my head now.

One of those video shout-outs.  You can get Zammo to do one for £10.  It's the perfect lockdown storm.

Could get some minced pies

DSi hacked and with a bunch of games on an SD card could prolly be done for about £20, original DS library is really strong for low-stress games

£10.... maybe a really shit eReader? or get 2 copies of some game with a co-op mode to play through together?

This really made me laugh. I've been looking through this site recently looking for someone to do a video for my mates upcoming 50th. Didn't see Zammo on there though. If I can think of a good punchline with "just say no" in it then that's a winner.

Not the gaming types or else I'd bung the few gigs of DS games I have on to one of them.

Pinching that for my CV, cheers!

If I've got this right, your depressed mate's worth a £10 Amazon voucher to you? If it was me I'd tell you to fuck off. Make it £20 and I'll start to open up.

[Cold Meat Platter]

Some socks for them to start pulling up and a mirror for them to have a word with themselves in.

No, they were fed up, I had a voucher and thought I'd use it to get them something as a distraction. I'd quite happily pay £100 to have a pile of stinking shite delivered to your door. Send on your address, twat.

Sorry, it appears that my post failed miserably in its intention. Whereas your Amazon voucher gift is clearly a lovely thing . Once again, sorry.

[Dex Sawash]

I'd love a pile sent my way if the offer is transferable.

Shite day yesterday, was in a foul mood by the end of the night, apologies.

Re the celeb shout-outs, this is slightly off-topic but heartwarming: My daughter's friend turned 30 on Thursday and is undergoing gruelling chemo for lymphoma, like our own Nowhere Man endured. My daughter's friend is a massive fan of 'Real Housewives of Orange County,' so his friends bought him a video message from 2 of the women who star in it. The friend who made the purchase mentioned the recipient's chemo in the 'about' info in the hope that the celebs would say something encouraging. Not only did these Real Housewives people waive the fee but they recorded absolutely charming, funny and sincere personalised videos for him, this despite the fact that one of them was clearly off her tits on some substance or other. Really sweet, honestly, it brought a tear to my eye, and the birthday boy was beyond thrilled with it. 'So, Dan, your birthday is on 11 June and ... oh my god, Dan. Oh my god! My best friend's name is Danni and her birthday is also in June! What the fuck! The universe is telling us something, here, lovely Danny boy, we have to listen...'

I also think I've maybe seen in a sitcom plot, or maybe an episode of Space Cunts, someone being absolutely bowled over to receive from their friend on their birthday a personalised shout-out from Kylie or Rhianna or someone, only to become bewildered as they watch it and are urged to make the most of their remaining weeks, then realising their friend lied about them being terminally ill in order to get the shout-out for nothing.
