hehe Im makin my sister buy our dad something. I bought our mum's mothers day present so she owes me! Well.....I did boots points it but still! I wanted perfume!

lol, boots points are good, i use fly buys/american express rewards for free stuff, similar loyalty scheme...

I too would like to use points for gifts, but I always worry that if the item is returned by the person, that they will find out I did this. Can this happen?

yeah it says on the receipt but i think you can ask for gift exchange cards which dont have them on...
