Niece is turning 30 and we'd like to get her a small (£25ish) gift, typically for the decade years we do buy gifts for adult relatives. She has ASD, quite limited interests (even her favourite animal is one that doesn't really pop up on clothes or jewellery etc Grin ) and hobbies. Baking and cooking the big two but pretty much has everything she needs. She lives in a small flat so don't really want to give her 'clutter'. Very into space but has binoculars for stargazing, books, a galaxy lamp, posters/prints, bedding already. Similar with the few tv shows she's really into, she has the dvds, related books, funko figures.

The only idea we've really come up with is a cactus to add to her collection...or socks, she loves socks. Cactus socks???

I’ve seen ads for a photo of the night sky on the night of your birthday. That might be something a bit different but might be more pricy (and maybe like clutter??) not sure?

How about an experience rather than a physical gift? Lots of interesting ideas on Virgin Experience Days.

Fisher bullet space pen

The space pen is a brilliant idea, I could see her appreciating that a lot!

What is her favourite animal, btw?!

SignOnTheWindow · 28/08/2022 16:23

If she's anywhere near Leicester, how about a visit to the National Space Centre?

What’s the animal? The hive mind might be able to find something for you?

BearSoFair · 28/08/2022 16:48

Favourite animal is a hippo! She does already have a pair of earrings and doesn't really wear necklaces which seems to cover most of the hippo gift products we've come across!

Would a moomin do although not technically a hippo?

If she’s anywhere near heythrop gardens (Oxfordshire) she can feed a Pygmy hippo? www.heythropzoologicalgardens.org/encounters

Adopt a hippo?
