Wishing my mum was as thoughtful as jingl then I would not be in the position I am now,peeing myself whilst I read this thread !!! 
Would you think it was odd if a younger person wanted to befriend you?

How should I phrase this? ([worried emoti])
Well. My daughter is now a very small tad within the distant sighting of the very peri menopause. (OK so far? (she won't read this))
And, she is beginning to realise, on the odd occasion (sneezing mostly), that she would have done better to listen to me with regard to exercising her pelvic floor. 
[sniff]
So I have bought her some of these www.amazon.co.uk/Aquaflex-Pelvic-Floor-Exercise-System/dp/B003UES7A8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323419215&sr=8-1
It's alright to wrap 'em up and give them to her as a Christmas present, isn't it?
jessm - to the pure all things are pure!
Given the tone of this thread gracesmum the notion of a "pop up George Clooney" conjured up a very ungrandmotherlike image in my brain.
Is that what you meant?????!!!!! 
So what is she likely to "surprise" you with jingl? Given that the pop-up George Clooney has my name on his gift tag - can you say gift tag on GN?
Ah, but you don't know DD gracesmum.
I am very relieved (pardon the pun) that you seem to be being dissuaded from gift wrapping the aforementioned and therefore are more likely to live through Christmas and still be here in January. I would have a) been mortified, b) killed my mother c) never spoken to her again and all the way through to z) crawled away and died. It might depend on her attitude to the "problem" though- if she has a laugh about it, OK, but if she is at all sensitive your idea sounds like it could go down like a cup of cold sick
Happy gifting!!
We could do a thread on Christmas presents guaranteed to make people never speak to you ever again as long as they live
jess - buy yer own. 
I should have expected this response on here!!!
Oh right!!!!!!!
Oh well. Good luck to her then.
super - you are getting worse!
JessM I want to look at the funny pictures on Amazon. What do I type in please?
jingle if the gift you propose to give to your daughter fits into a cracker, then why not take the whistle, yo-yo, plastic ring whatever from a bought cracker, and substitute the "gadget" - just make sure that your daughter pulls the right cracker!
Have you read the product description jingl? 
No wonder you blushed, Madam! 
joggin.........
WHAT NEEDS?!
I'm not missing anything, am I?
They're not (whisper) dual purpose in any way, are they? [worried now]
Ooooooh Jingle trust you to be so thoughtful
jingl do you want to wear the gift as earrings ? of course you can't put the gift under the tree but I am sure she will love you for your thoughtful present
Granny-a!
ga, you said you had gone!!
Good one!!
Wee gift!! He-he!!
My DD's on the way there too. Will remember the wee gift
Mmmm....not sure jings. No doubt she'll be pleased to receive this, but as a Christmas present? With other people around? As she's still quite a way off from the golden age of occasionally damp gussets, she may want the potential for this to be a little lower profile. Further down the line feels a better time to be 'out in the open' about it. For example, I wouldn't mind receiving a bumper pack of Tena Lady under the tree, all done up with swirly ribbons.
OH, alright then!
Good job I asked.
What a thoughtful gift jingl - but I agree that maybe it should be given 'on the sly'.
