What are you buying your young adult children?

I have three young adult SDCs who all have partners and I'm really struggling with ideas as to what I can get them all. The budget for the Dcs gifts is max £100 and for their partners its £50 max.

We usually get them quite alot but this year money is much tighter and I feel that they are old enough now not to get masses of presents from us.

Any ideas would be gratefully received. Thanks

How old are they? Twenties? I'd probably cut down more.

DS1 is 9k miles away so we will send him vouchers for downloads. He earns more than I do, so I don't feel under any obligation to spend too much!
DS2 is currently 3k miles away but will be back for Christmas vacation. We will probably give him a stocking, new ski gloves and some sort of money/voucher so he can spend it in the US when he gets back to college.

Heath They are 19, 22 and 24 and one of them also has a baby who we spoil buy for. We also have our two younger DCs and extended family and a few friends. An expensive time.

Thanks for the ideas Lily

Huh - just typed a long reply and lost it.

My eldest is 18 and working. I think this will be the last year for a 'big' present and then we'll shift to things like smellies, gloves, ornament, necklace etc. Something nice to unwrap, but not expensive.

I do feel there needs to be a cut-off point.
