I'm really stuck for one of my closest friends. We normally buy eachother "whole family" gifts (ie last year we bought them cinema vouchers and they bought us a board game)

They are both 50, dc are 12 and 14.

I don't mean it horrible but their house is quite cluttered so they don't really need more "stuff". They have plenty of it (and lots of stuff like board games etc) They're also well off

My Budget is about £30 . I always feel bad as my friend is really really good at choosing very thoughtful, lovely gifts and I'm, well, not 😔

Well to be thoughtful you probs should think about...
What is she into?
What's her fav colour?
How does she spend her spare time?
Where does she shop?

Oh God this is why I buy barely any adult gifts.

Just bung each of the teenagers a 15quid voucher and be done with having to think of the whole family.

@ILoveHuskies There was another thread recently looking for “whole family” gifts and lots of people suggested Escape Room experiences apparently there are online type ones? Could be fun!

Interested in this thread?

Then you might like threads about these subjects:

Ooh escape room is a good idea.

We have a tiny chain of local ice cream parlours that do gift vouchers - £30 would be about right for a really splurgey ice cream each for 4. Anything like that local to them?

Make a donation to a charity in their name.
