Cheap knickers...

[Franki]

Ok so, for some reason which defies logic, my dad has said that he wants me to buy my stepmum knickers for Christmas. My budget is a fiver. I told him this, and he said knickers (then again he also told me he wanted a book which was over a tenner, and that he wanted me to get my almost-5 year old sister a Barbie (and the only one I found under a fiver was a rubbish one, but that's his fault, not mine)).

Can anyone tell me where I can get some NICE knickers from for under a fiver? Can't be a thong, cause having been underwear shopping with her before, I know she doesn't wear them, but everything else is fine. I was thinking Peacocks, but that seems SO cheap, and there isn't a Primark nearer to me than Ipswich, which is gonna cost me more than a fiver to get to in the first place, defeating the object. I don't know >.<.

Help!

why is peacocks sooo cheap but primark isnt?

[HIT]

peacocks, primark, tk max.

I would go for primark, but peacocks will do.

[Glittery]

Asda or Tesco, I got nice fancy knickers from Asda yesterday for £1.50.

[Ilora-Danon]

TK Maxx definitely - they do fab designer underwear in there. I got a Calvin Klein bra and knicker set for a fiver a few weeks ago. And 2 Pringle bras for less than a tenner.

I don't know. I was just pointing out that before anyone suggested Primark it's not an option.

I don't have anything against Peacocks, cause their underwear is quite good for the price it is, but I'd feel cheap going there :(.

TK Maxx is a good plan though...

Please don't buy knickers for your mum:(

[SuzyCreamcheese]

lol. Ive bought undies for my mum as presents before.

[Franki]

It'd be ok if it was my mum. She buys us pants every year usually (not this year, we're all skint). Embarrassing skimpy see through ones.

But it's my stepmum. It's like :eek2:.

[Kermit]

That's even worse:(

[Franki]

I know.

I'm tempted to get her something else entirely.

[rachie004]

la senza?

I know they do 5 pairs for £12 so one pair on their own can't be that much.

I'm tempted to get her something else entirely.

That's the best plan :thumb: My stepmum would be horrified if I bought her knickers for Christmas! I'm pretty sure my Dad would be too. Ugh, shuddering at the thought :no:

[Franki]

I don't think she'd mind too much (this is the lady that said she'd buy me a vibrator if my dad would allow it), but it's just the thought of it is like >.<

[SuzyCreamcheese]

i think you should buy her a control panty girdle.

[Franki]

A what?!?!

I've decided on a Christmas Gospel songs CD :o.

Although having looked on the La Senza website, that's gonna be my next stop for my underwear XD.

[Littleali]

ethel austins have some nice ones sometimes, it`s moved with the times haha

[i_am_bex]

[lucifer devil]

I've decided on a Christmas Gospel songs CD :o.

That's worse than buying knickers...

[*Snow White Queen*]

La Senza is great for cheap nice undies :yes:

The 5 for £12 range is cool.

[VinylVicky]

It's weird but if you were buying a nice matching bra and pants underwear set it would be fine but a pair of knickers is odd!

[ruby_soho]

Top shop are doing 4 pairs for £8 at the minute, so you could get a couple of pairs from there, they have all sorts, french knickers, pants, breifs, thongs, boxers etc in all sorts of designs frills and patterns. I get all mine from there anyway :thumb:

[Randomgirl]

My boyfriends mum (who calls herself my 'mother-in-law') often requests underwear from me as presents.

[Franki]

That's worse than buying knickers...
Not if you know my stepmum.

[Bunnie]

Take the CD back, get yourself to George at Asda. There is a chance you could get her a bra and knickers set for about £6 if you are lucky.

They have LURVELY knickers in there.

Granny pants are the way forward.
