I'd like to gift DS a gift to enjoy with GF on their first night living together...

Or maybe it's better I don't?

They're moving into a room in a shared house, so don't have a lot of space and don't need first home stuff.

I thought of giving them a bottle of something bubbly to share, but they're not really drinkers and DS doesn't like wine. GF is always on a diet, and they're moving just after Christmas, so chocolate or cake doesn't seem right.

Any ideas?

What about a supermarket voucher for whichever is closest to them, so they can go pick out some food to cook together?

Couldn't you send them some flowers?
As a token gesture to mark the occasion I think that would be quite nice.

Pot plant? Or some money they can spend on a takeaway to enjoy after unpacking all their things.

a takeaway meal if they've been moving stuff all day?

I really would not do this. Non drinkers, limited space and one on a diet. Anything you buy will take up space. Step back and let them create their new life together.

I’d not do this.
Gently, it could be seen as a little like subconsciously extending the apron strings. They’re young, they don’t see things sentimentally. They won’t see that it’s a momentous occasion. Young people don’t do ‘occasion gifts’ to mark things and won’t be expecting that you do.

Let it just be about the two of them.

Honestly I think a card would be plenty, it's a shared house and while it's a lovely milestone in their relationship a gift may feel a bit much for that! When they get their own place you could perhaps do a plant? I always get them as housewarming gifts (can't keep them alive mind)

They're moving away to start a new life. I'd like to show that I'm celebrating that rather than seeing it as something sad.

Card and a voucher for the supermarket or just eat

Deliveroo Voucher.

Voucher for takeaway meal?

Double headed dildo!

Money for a takeaway on their first night together. Or if they don't want that, they can buy something for their new pad.

Just Eat voucher.

I'd do a congratulations card and a takeaway voucher if you really feel the need to gift something.

You don’t need to show any particular attitude other than detached benevolence!

A card and a supermarket voucher would be perfect.

Let them choose for themselves how they fill their new home. If they want anything else they will undoubtedly ask.

Buy them a takeaway. That’s it. No card or flowers - that’s just making far too big a deal of things.

Wow some of these comments are wild. Why are so many posters so negative about everything. I think a Deliveroo voucher sounds lovely. Or what about something like nice olive oil or similar.

Honestly some people here have zero joy in life. Imagine thinking a small gift or voucher is too much to mark your child moving out. Utterly joyless. I agree with others a just eat voucher would be perfect they can use it for an online shop or a takeaway f their choice.

A voucher for Deliveroo or Just Eat so they can have a nice takeaway to celebrate. Or even a supermarket voucher so they can do a big shop?

I feel a supermarket voucher might be more useful - particularly if they can use it for household items too.

Have they got a nice independent cafe near them ? Somewhere to go for a brunch? If they’re in a shared house, it’s a nice start to the day to be able to get away from your housemates and have lovely relaxed brunches rather than looking at other people’s washing up !

they will have little space for stuff
wouldn’t try to guess food
but will probably want entertainment if some sort

You think? …

giving a gift to your child is not extending the apron strings!!

i think it’s lovely op. I’d go with a takeaway voucher as that’ll be very appreciated!
