Not an AIBU ... your adult kids

[downundergirl]

Just wondering what you all are buying/have bought your adult children for Christmas. Looking for suggestions for 27, 24 & 18 year olds. Girls. Thanks in advance!

DD 19. Doc Martens, flavoured gin, Harry Potter bag, toiletries.

Gin
Gin glasses
Gin herb and flavours kit
Books
Vouchers for favourite restaurants

It makes me feel happy that you're asking this with only a few days until Christmas as I still have presents to buy!!

I'm 24 and my Mum has got me Amazon Vouchers so I can get books for my kindle, a new dressing gown and PJs, a gift voucher for my favourite restaurant, my favourite chocolates and a mini baileys set.

I guess it all depends what your girls are in to, what stage of life they're at and what their current circumstances are.

tickets to a rock festival (including the camping ticket)
They weren't supposed to be getting anything else but since I bought them months ago and I love buying presents got them a load of stuff like books, make up, clothes - the usual - too.

22 and 24
Lego and s

20yo. DD.

22 and 24
Lego and switch games
Jumper
Gin and craft beers
Lots of little bits and pieces

For DD26 I’ve bought a picture for her new flat, Chanel perfume, Chanel mirror, pjs, jumper, socks, snowman earrings, she’s going skiing so thought a few bits of clothes for that would be nice. DD19, Chloe perfume, Charlotte Tilbury make up, Kiehl’s stuff, cushion for her room, earrings, and some bits for her stocking. Also got DS23, AirPods, aftershave and some clothes.

1 Boots. Flight vouchers for when they move to Africa after their wedding. Pale sapphire, diamond and pearl earrings for the wedding.
A rucksack.

2 A tumble drier. Four dining chairs. A huge mirror and wall clock. New uniform bits from Coat.

3 Boots. A citybreak with boyfriend. Ski boots. Salopettes. A watch. Voucher to balance.

DS2 helpfully said he would like an electric blanket. So he is getting a dual control one which I hope his GF will appreciate. DS1 is abroad staying with his DP’s mum and he suggested vouchers for his family to visit a safari park in the spring. Sorted.

Probably not much use for your family, OP.

Both DDs got a wooden box with sewing repair essentials in them, as neither of them can find their other sewing boxes after house moves. DD2 got a Michael Kors bag that we got at the outlets in Florida and in her stocking is a Disney necklace, as she is Disney mad. DD1 has some clothes. She is very hard to buy for and seldom grateful for what she gets, so I am reluctant to spend on her. DD2 is far easier to buy for!

For my 3
Cashmere snood and poncho from Bruar
Rum and amazon voucher
Cinema vouchers and money

I give mine money.

DD1 20, money for driving lessons
Beats headphones
perfume
DD2 18 Apple watch
shoes

Plus they still get a stocking with treats in, make up, bath bombs, pjs,chocolate, giftcards etc in

Doc Martens, flavoured gin

Thank fuck for the comma!

Dd(20) ; concert tickets
Fleece bedding
A blanket
Dyson fan / heater thing
Pyjamas

She’s also got a few other small bits . She told me that she didn’t want much this year and couldn’t think of anything so it’s all been picked by us . She has CFS and is very poorly at the moment so I’m hoping she perks up a bit by the 25th .

DS 23. Overnight bag, cricket trousers. Jumper, calendar, tennis balls, book, blu tack, socks, pants, car air freshener.

@Meandyouandyouandme I miss read that and thought you’d bought your daughter a new flat 😛

My DD is 27. I do her a "themed" hamper every year. last year's was a relaxation one (PJs. scented candles, sleep mask etc). This year she's asked for a skin care one so I've bought everyday use stuff plus a few high end creams and voucher for a facial.

My DS 24
Clothes from Calvin Klein
Shaver
2 lots of aftershave
Wallet key fob scarf and hat from CK
Boxer shorts

I’m also taking him to New York next year for 10 nights that’s part of his Xmas /birthday present

I’m 28 and my mum got me a duvet cover. I honestly don’t think she had a clue what my likes and dislikes where. Just get something your kids like/could use.

a nice bottle of whisky, picturehouse vouchers, some money for a new winter coat, snuggly dressing gown (can you tell DC lives far north!). The other is getting some art supplies, a necklace and voucher for John Lewis to spend on homewear. Essentially just nicer versions of things that they need, with one or two nicer bits thrown in.

Ds 31 a karcher power washer
Ds 25 Backpack, money and a coat
Dd 14 lots of bits and some X-box games

@Yetanotherwinter haha! We did give her some money for her deposit, and we are in the NW, so prices aren’t too crazy here, but still a whole flat would be quite the Christmas present!
