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!

I’m 27 I’ve asked for some new converse as the tread on mine is completely bald they are so so dead.

I'm 29 and my parents often give me clothes and books. Sometimes makeup too!

PJs, perfume and money for a skiing holiday

Some brilliant suggestions here!! Thank you so much everyone! Merry Christmas to you all!! 🎅 🌲

I'm 27 and my mom bought me 2 books off Amazon that I had specifically sent her the links for 🎅

#1 son, age 20; Galaxy Buds, Timberland boots, socks, underwear, pajamas.
#2 son, age 18; Galaxy Buds, Cards Against Humanity + expansion packs, an apron, underwear, pajamas.

They both also get stuff in their stockings, candy, gum, lip balm, etc.

I’m late twenties and have asked for a new coat from Zara, cheese knives and a cheese board, Kindle vouchers, Molton Brown bath oil, a new Fitbit, Clarins face oil, Birkenstocks and a rucksack for work.

From a few different people, including myself

I’d also really appreciate some wireless earbuds, but that might be a treat to myself at some point.

A new mobile phone, clothes I know they will like (kept receipts though just in case), new make up bag, gift cards, DH will use some online account of his to gift computer game/s he knows one wants (no idea how it works, he has that in hand), jewellery. All still living at home so in some ways makes it easier, in some harder.

Oh, yes PP reminded me, DH got wireless earbuds for one. Plus a new computer monitor, although their current one looks like it works (on it often enough) so no idea why he got that, some reason I would not understand no doubt.

Nothing

I’d also really appreciate some wireless earbuds, but that might be a treat to myself at some point.

I got myself some a couple weeks ago, and they've both tried to steal them. That's why I got them their own. Hopefully they'll keep their sticky fingers off mine.

I’m this age....

Lush spa voucher? If you’re stuck for a big gift. I’d love this.
Always need socks
Charlotte Tilbury make up
Books - fashion type - Dior in photographs etc
Foreign currency if they are going away?

DS had money in summer for festival but have got him some bits , Le creuset dish , mug, chocolate, and a spoon bangle made from the cutlery my dad bought in Egypt in the 70s .
DD1 a silver necklace made by a local silversmith, and a cheapie watch for work .
DD2 earrings from Daisy of London chosen by her and a Lancôme matte lipstick I know she will love and was difficult to track down .
Both girls get a shoebox with silly essentials in like a Christmas stocking . They both get exactly the same and have to open them together and exclaim loudly about each find ! And show us ( as if we didn’t know ! And DH very often doesn’t !
I think it’s one of my favourite times of the day as they are so childlike about it and are 34 and 38 !
DS wouldn’t want a box and comes up later in the day .

Very very nice pjs.

Most of TKMaxx and Eau Savage so that they can smell like every other young male in a 20mile radius.

We have 3 DS all with birthdays within cooee of Christmas, so their gifts this year are not so flash.
Theyve each got (variants on) motorbike oil & cleaner bits, then each getting a $$ fuel card & chocolates.
One is getting a silly mug with a rude cartoon on, teatowel for another (this is relevant as its a sarcastic dig at recent comments) & a work diary for the last one. Probably boring, but it is what it is this year.
Some good comments up above though to note for future gifts, cheers

This year mostly money and stocking fillers, normally they get a main present but for lots of reasons all needed money this year.

Stocking fillers have included - aftershave, socks, chocolates, jumper, make up brushes, earrings, books, tote bag, quiz books, car stuff, slippers. A bit dull this year but adults can be hard sometimes and then other year's you see something perfect.
