20 and17. Clothes, after shave, goalie gloves, books.
We always go to the cash and carry and get them a box of crisps each for the ‘big’ present. Grin As they get older the presents get smaller but more ££££!

Teepublic is my best find this year.

My 18 year old doesn't want much but as I'm about to pay her college fees for next year that's probably a good thing.

My mum last year got me a skincare set from the Sheffield skincare company, lovely handmade stuff that works and smells fantastic! A bottle of blood orange gin and two glasses, some sparkly huggie earrings and some candy floss flavoured marshmallows from the Christmas markets. For reference I’m 29.

I'm 25 and mum has got me (I say mum, becuse dad will be more surprised than I am to see what "they" have got me 😂)

Harry Potter Party game (lots of my friends are Harry Potter mad, like me)
Lots of fun, Primark socks
A new dressing gown
Some perfume
A parcel shelf for my car (my new car didn't come with one)
A new, small suitcase as my best friend lives in London now so it's useful for the train journeys to see her.
Some baking stuff

Just little bits that she knows I'd like, and are useful!
