My 23 year old son still lives with me & I've no idea what to get for his birthday. He doesn't have a girlfriend, he's got a good set of friends, but like most lads his age they don't bother with cards & presents. He has a decent job for his age & just buys what he wants when he wants. He's got plenty of everything. Even he doesn't know what he'd like. He's had a lot of experience gifts over the years. I'd like him to have something nice to open on his birthday, but what!
He's saving for a deposit so he can move out. He doesn't want to rent as it's dead money in his eyes. The way the housing market is he'll be with me forever & neither of us wants that. Just give him a wad of cash to put to his deposit? A bank transfer is so much better than a wad of cash in that case, but sounds a boring way to receive your birthday present. Maybe I should stop indulging him on his birthday. He's not a baby & is trying to adult as best he can whilst still living with his old mum
