What to get ex FIL for birthday

4 replies

Split with ex. Divorce ongoing. Have settled on getting something small for soon to be ex MIL and ex FIL for Xmas and birthday.

I'm a bit stumped, however! He likes beer. But it needs to be something I can post, and I wouldn't fancy my chances on getting the right beer. Ex is always so badly organised that I don't have faith he'll come up with anything in time.

For context we do not see them much, DD is 3 and wouldn't know who he was if we saw him in the street sort of thing.

Please no criticism of my decision, present suggestions would be ace, though! Thanks.

Neoprene stubby beer can holder. You can get generic/funny ones or personalised with a picture or something off eBay.

Easy to post, don't run risk of getting wrong beer or ask STBXH or STBXMIL what beer to get?

If it was me I'd say you are overthinking this - given the situation!......Personally the most I would send is a card (if that!) given the circumstances.....

Birthday card. Nothing more.

Does he like tools? One of those credit card multi-tools make good generic presents and come in various price ranges, from a few pounds to £25 and very easy to post.
