Christmas presents -suggestions

[jillruss]

Here we go again - what would I like for Christmas?

I've been asked a couple of times already this week and my mind just goes blank! (Actually, it does that a lot - but that's another story!!  )

So, can anyone recommend anything family history based? A book or a DVD - not a software prog - I got that last Christmas!!

Courtesy of photo restoration I got an old photo of my great grandmother cleaned and coloured and am having it framed for my aunt that was named afetr her.
Have you got a favourite photto someone could get framed up for you?

A bit more expensive this year ....no wall paper please
I just need a puter program to put all my data on ...
as the wall paper......is not working now....
as the walls are becoming too short and not high enough

A relative of mine who is searching his family tree asked everyone to contribute to some certificates he needed one year, we have also in the past brought him printing paper, clear sleeves for his files, folders and also photo printing paper. All of which was used in no time but was very gratefully received.

What about a book.

I own books about the local area from which my ancestors lived
i.e. Wyresdale, Ribble Valley.

I find that you get more of a feel for your ancestors rather than
just names and dates.

Anyone know of a good book of Dudley Worcestershire?

A disc wallet is a good one, somewhere to put all that stored data, perhaps even a pack of discs to go with it 
both a reasonable price so you won't feel like you are being too cheeky.

Acid free storage containers/sleeves etc. is another thought

what about one of the following
i) Subscription to a family history magazine
ii) Subscription to an on-line site or vouchers for credits on-line
iii) Who do you think you are books or DVDs
iv) Transcription CDs or booklets for regions relating to your research - local FHS usually has a selection

Just a few thoughts - i'm getting asked the same question. I've managed a list of what I don't want though!!!

After a few more days of this thread, I am going to print it all up, highlight the goodies I want and leave it for all to see
