Christmas Gifts: Presents for Girls

It’s the look that haunts our dreams. That sorrowful expression your special lady makes when she opens yet another shoddy gift you so thoughtfully ‘found’ the night before. This year you have no excuses. Gentry brings you its top Christmas presents for girls.

If your relationship precedes the digital era, it is more than likely your missus has a horde of photographic film stashed away somewhere. They will contain some of her fondest memories and pictures she thought were long since lost. What better way to show how much you care than with this gadgetry gizmo. With the Digital Film Scanner, those pictures from the past will now be available in glorious digi-colour. It will convert both negatives and slides into TIFF or jpegs up to a whopping 3600 dpi. The editing software will also allow her to crop, cut and ‘modify’ those memories to her hearts content. It will also keep her busy on Boxing Day while you cause mayhem with your VTS Camera Car.

Keeping with the nostalgic gift ideas, Gentry has found this little taste bud tickler. This gift box contains all the tuck shop classics, from Dip Dab sherbet packs to Barrat Fruit Salads. It is certainly one for the sweet of tooth and young at heart but also something you can both enjoy together. What better way to spend Christmas afternoon than romantically reminiscing over a sherbet fountain and some fizzy cola bottles?

If, more often than not, your better half is to be found nose deep in glossy gossip, then this personalised magazine cover is for you. Ok, it’s tongue in cheek and you’ll probably have to get her something more ‘appropriate’ as well but it will bring a bit of humour to the annual paper-shredding contest. Just fill in the online form with all her dirty secrets together with the usual muddle of girlfriend fact and fiction and Max Clifford’s your uncle. If she does actually appreciate it, it comes mounted so can take pride of place anywhere in the home.

Digital Film Scanner It’s a gift for her that shows charm and sophistication. For those seeking a more cliché gift idea, then reach for the stars!
