It's my birthday soon, and I need to give the younger family members gift ideas. I have no clue at all what to suggest. I don't want alcohol.

Book token or amazon voucher

JaffavsCookie · 14/08/2021 22:17

Books, plants, seeds, coffee, chocolates

JaninaDuszejko · 14/08/2021 22:17

Another vote for book (from my wishlist). It's not hard and I'll appreciate it. SIL spends ages choosing exquisite trinkets for the house every bloody year and I just think FFS just give me a book.

ParadiseLaundry · 14/08/2021 22:19

A candle or Reed diffuser
Ferrero rocher
Cozy slipper sock type things
A mug, I'm surprised to see so many other people mention it too though as even though I'd love one I wouldn't get one for someone else as I always thought they were considered a slightly crap gift.

ImFree2doasiwant · 14/08/2021 22:19

Thank you, I've added a bar of dark chocolate to my list (it's not expensive but I do love it). A book and some Secateurs - thanks for that suggestions, the clip has broken on mine

Where do you get Havaianas for £10 please? I need to know!

A plant, or something for the garden.

SpunBodgeSquarepants · 14/08/2021 22:26

Wax melts. I'm absolutely obsessed.

CornishPastyDownUnder · 14/08/2021 22:28

Its tokenism -£10-whats the point?Another useless mug or a cheap bottle of plonk?
Tell them to put it in their pocket-teach them the merit of saving.Too much pointless"gift buying"..same goes for Christmas.
