Morning merry people,

Just having a mini melt down trying to think of something non boring but inexpensive to give to my sil's new boyfriend who will be joining her for the festivities at my in laws this year.

I've only met the chap once, but from what I gather he is quite outdoorsy, vegetarian and plays hockey. So other than the vegetable day of the week pack of socks my dh suggested which I secretly think is brilliant I'm a bit stuck on what to buy.

Is a box of homemade toffee and some homemade liquor okay? He's mid twenties and looks scarily trendy.

Thanks again for all the suggestions. Sorry, veg socks now proving hard to copy and paste but easily googled.

As we really don't know him well at all, I think I will stick with the homemade route and the Molten Brown if I run out of time. I don't want ask my sil as she won't expect us to get him anything and it's nice to show everyone making her new chap part of the family. I could write on a book on 'why I hate adults having Christmas lists' but that's a whole other whingey boring thread!
