I have just found out that my 21-year-old stepdaughter is spending Christmas with us . She hasn't spent Christmas with us in three years as she likes to travel and says she doesn't like Christmas. Her mother is no longer with us so I want to make this year really special for her, but I'm stuck on gift ideas.

She's very fashionable but mainly buys vintage/not fast fashion, not very into makeup, slightly alternative I guess. So far I think a refurbished vintage polaroid camera, a vintage opal ring as she admires mine and maybe a bottle of gypsy water but I'm stuck for smaller gifts like stocking stuffers. Any slightly unconventional stocking stuffer ideas?And also what do you think of my gift ideas?

I have got my 21 year old some Beebombs for her stocking. Also a personalised metal straw from Not On The Highstreet. Will also get some stuff from Lush, and some bamboo toothbrushes.

Affllecks palace in Manchester is fab for vintage stuff .......I'm sure they have an online shop now.

Sound fab gifts!

Not unconventional but you can't go wrong with tasty things to eat or nice lip balms, creams etc - maybe a make she wouldn't normally be able to treat herself too.

Not on the high street is great for interesting gift ideas.

Cash is king.

What about these? www.amazon.co.uk/socks-Moliker-women-winter-vintage/dp/B06Y2YZ9CK/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&crid=21XU80H6VC4KF&keywords=vintage+socks+women&sprefix=vintage+soc%2Caps%2C199&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&qid=1573307236&sr=8-7

They went down so well with a vintage lover that I treated myself to some. Still going strong after two years of wearing every winter.

Love the socks and will definitely be getting the bee bombs. We've given her cash the last few years as she hasn't been around so do want to give her gifts. My own kids are tots so this is alien territory for me

Your gifts sound lovely. I'd be very happy with those.

Stocking fillers - bath bombs, face packs, candles, bits from lush, 2020 diary, handmade purse..
Maybe a gem pendant - this sort of thing.

Does she like music? Maybe a vintners record player like these;

Your gift ideas sound great.

How about a nice purse or bag?
