Help on Xmas presents for 20 yr old kids, green perhaps please?

Hi I know this could come across as lazy but I haven't started on it at all so far and I usually have at least one or two things in mind if not already bought at this time.

What are you getting for your children in their twenties please? Last year we announced we would only be getting a max of 2 presents per child. Not because of financial reasons but just how it all seems such a raging, silly consumer festival if we buy stuff just for the sake of it. All kids happy with that and sometimes my son says he wants eg second hand jeans/ sweatshirt etc. He's not brand conscious at all so Ebay has been fine for him. I'm just out of ideas this year so hoping to pick up some ideas from other kind, helpful Mumsnetters.

If it's of any importance, son is 25, girls 28 and 20, but all ideas would be massively appreciated.

Many thanks

Some things I'm getting people as ideas:

  • fleecy Uniqlo long sleeve top
  • m&S mens pyjama bottoms
  • watercolour paints set
  • jigsaw puzzle, just a nice looking one from Waterstones
  • flask and mug set for two
  • ceramic tankard off Etsy
  • nice wine

There are always BNWT items on Vinted
I bought my Dogwalker BNWT joules lambs wool gloves for £6 so do look there if you haven't

Thanks very much everyone.

My daughter does do jigsaws so I think that could be a good idea, thanks @DandelionPockets

@uncomfortablydumb53 , yes lots of people rave about Vinted. I should probably try it out. They're all into the idea of stuff that's been preloved.
