Somebody prove to me that I'm sane by admitting that they are worse.
I'm wrapping the last of the Christmas presents and I have one item left. Only I can't remember whether it's for the wife or the 18 y-o daughter. Clearly I can't ask anyone.
Hm, I'm feeling intellectually challenged.

which one of them hasn't got a present wrapped already........sorted......
If it's a new iron, it's for your wife! If it's a CD by someone you have never heard of, it's your daughters!
Do 18 year old daughters still know what a cd is?
An iron for your wife's birthday ensures that you won't need to buy a Christmas present for the (same) wife next year!
if you had to choose the present, it's probably for your wife.
Should I wrap it and forget to label it?
I remember that one of them was specifically oooh wowed by this item as I was being dragged round some craft fair. So I returned and bought it, then hid it. No chance to write it on a super list.
It's not an iron.
Sounds a good ploy Blisters!
Hand it to them both as a pass the parcel. Then whoever gets it when the music stops opens it. If it's not for them they'll laugh and hand it to the other. If it is then they'll be chuffed anyway. Sorted!
If you let us know what it is we might be able to take an educated guess...
It isn't a daft thing to forget though. I bought both my brother-in-laws books from their wish lists about subjects I have no interest in. I wouldn't have had a clue which was which if I hadn't made sure I ordered then at different times and written their names on the parcels.
It's a pair of Ladies leather gloves. Both wimmins are similar sized in that department. I know that someone wanted them, it's just that I wasn't paying attention.
Ooh that is tricky
Your "missing tag" trick might well be worth a try.
What self-respecting 18yo girl would ask for a pair of gloves? Or have I missed the latest trend? (As well as all the others)
just keep it and sell it on ebay...........no one is expecting them so no one upset
As it's a pair of gloves, just give them one each. Sorted.
What about...
To: Whoever wanted leather gloves
From: Blisters
Or would that ruin the mystique of unwrapping?
Go buy another and give them both a pair
Nice idea PP
Leather gloves - mum, daughter more fun stripy knitted gloves.
So how did you solve the dilemma Blisters?
I reckon he took the easy way out and threw the gloves away.
I went with the "lost label" approach. Mum knew instantly that I'd forgotten who they were for. Daughter was dead chuffed with the pressy. 23 years of marriage and the wife knows what I'm thinking, remembering, forgetting and so on.
Result - Well played Blisters!
Ah, so they were for your daughter!
Well played anyway Blisters
