Looking for ideas for a couple of people aged around 19-25. In the past I've done:
Purses from Fossil (sale)
Urban Decay setting spray and primer
Urban Decay Naked Basics
Coffee shop voucher and reusable cup
'Naice' candles

Just cash, honestly the best gift.

Nail Varnish set
Otis Batterbee Make up bag
Fingerless gloves
Chilly's water bottle

Aromatherapy oil rollerball mini set
Cleanser and cloth (do Liz Earle do a gift set sort of thing? Something like that, anyway)
Mini Swiss Army knife (one of the most useful gifts I ever received haha!)
Monogrammed notebook/planner

Thanks for these.

'Posh' nail varnish set is a good idea. OPI sometimes do nice ones.

I like the aromatherapy rollerball set idea too - and one of my recipients would love that.

I don;t want to give cash - and they don't want to receive it. That's why I'm asking for ideas. :)

Monogrammed make up brush bags? Lisa angel has loads of stuff like that!

Southernc0mfortmirror · 09/10/2018 20:10

Boots have a Nip and Fab gift set on sale at the moment for £20. Quite tempted to pick one up for me!

Bumbumtaloo · 09/10/2018 20:13

When I used to buy for my cousins adult children (we’ve stopped now) one thing that went down really well was a pair of wrist warmers. I have seen on another post on here Turtle Doves do cashmere ones.

ArrivisteRevolt · 09/10/2018 20:15

Go into Space NK. There are some little palettes and lipsticks. Everyone loves getting those bags.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/10/2018 20:38

Lots of good ideas here. Thanks.

Honestly I bless you know them really well just go for cash as I wouldn't want one of the things suggested here - no offence meant, it's just everyone has such different taste

Buttercupsandaisies · 10/10/2018 21:30

unless

MishMashMosher · 11/10/2018 07:06

Buttercup I'm only slightly over the age range op is looking to buy for and would love nearly everything suggested on this thread instead of money.

HunterHearstHelmsley · 11/10/2018 07:14

Don't give cash. It's a shit present.

You could always get another Urban Decay pallet if they like those; they're always releasing new ones. Benefit do some lovely bits too. (I'm always happy with a voucher specifically to get my brows done!)

NicoAndTheNiners · 11/10/2018 07:18

Too faced have a lovely limited edition lipstick set in Debenhams at the minute. Dd and her friends are raving about it.

10% off at the minute as well.

CaseStudyResearch · 11/10/2018 07:24

Just over that age and would love some little trinket boxes/dishes. The sort of thing that you can store hair clips and bits and bobs in, but look pretty.

Those little geometric planters with mini cacti etc in are also v popular.

JackieReacher · 11/10/2018 07:26

Guerlain are doing lipsticks in amazing cases that you can pick / mix. Very glamorous ltd edition type of thing. Or Christian Louboutin nail varnish. Best of all - pick a great hardback book / a pile of paperbacks. There are always brilliant lovely Christmas editions of things like Agatha Christie/ Wodehouse

BlueNeighbourhood · 11/10/2018 13:40

Nails Inc do some lovely Christmas gift sets, I get it for my best friend every year for Christmas and their colours and base coat always looks fantastic.

I'd also like to think a nice scarf or hat from Topshop, a really lovely candle, a nice Jack Wills t-shirt (they're always quite plain and fit lovely and quality material), or some Originals facial care stuff.

That's what I'd like anyway!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 11/10/2018 18:00

More great ideas here, thanks.

I've done Benefit minis before, which went down well.

M&S have got 20% off beauty stuff - would anybody recommend anything specific on there in terms of slightly 'cult' products?

OP posts:
NicoAndTheNiners · 11/10/2018 18:07

Pixie glow is fab and M&S sell it, not sure if it’s very presenty though?

JackieReacher · 11/10/2018 19:20

M&S do that nuxe oil which is fantastic and often comes in ltd edition bottles

PeterPrunus · 11/10/2018 20:29

Harvey Nicks are selling Fenty beauty baubles for Christmas OP. Also a bomb baby mini face and lip kit and some really pretty looking lipsticks. My DD, who’s 19, would love any of the them and they’re just under £20.

TheImprobableGirl · 11/10/2018 22:17

The new urban decay born to run is AMAZING and has loads of great shadows, make a subscription to Netflix/amazon prime/readly etc, or a mag subscription always goes down well !

RaspberryFlump · 12/10/2018 08:33

I’ve got some Korean skincare bits and pieces from Lookfantastic fir my Dd - small things like sheet facemadks, hand and nail masks.

Angelcd · 12/10/2018 08:35

If she loves make up id get a morphe eye shadow palette a large one is £23 but u can get a smaller one for £19.x

RaspberryFlump · 12/10/2018 08:35

Oh nearly forgot...got a mini pixi glow from Boots which is £6 instead of the usual £10 at the moment.
