I have crossed 2 main presents of my list for DS GF and my DS2 fiancé. Both easy to buy for as told me exactly what they wanted which I find better than guessing and getting it wrong as they both have very distinctive taste. I need to get something for a 20 Year old Chelsea supporter, (my DDs BF) and presents for my DD and my 2 DS. Then I can relax a little and just get the little stocking fillas. Any ideas what I can get the 20 year old? I want to spend a reasonable amount on him as he lost his DM this year and he lives in my home so want him to feel special. Its hard as he is very polite and wont say what he would like. The women in the family are so much easier to buy for as they know what they like and are happy to share with me.

My middle DS fiancé is very good and always helps me by telling me what she likes, (its also her birthday 4 days after Christmas so I am very glad she is so helpful) It may take the surprise out of it but I do get them some little extras as well to make it a bit of fun.

So basically I am after help for the men in the family, aged 20, 27 and 31. My DD will tell me what she wants, she basically shows me throughout the year when she sees something, but the boys have just bought their own homes and basically don't need anything but I hate giving money as it seems to lack thought.

If they have recently bought homes, do they have a garden? That might be a present theme, or diy tools maybe (assuming they aren't builders!) I've asked for a drill!

How about some tech? You could have a look at the Amazon tech eg Dot etc? Really good deals on Black Friday.
I was tempted to get my brother (new homeowner) a sound bar last year as his tv is a bit ancient and I thought it'd upgrade it (turns out his tv is so ancient that it didn't have the right connections so that was a no-no).
Coffee machine - nespresso/tassimo? If he prefers hot choc, the hotel chocolat velvetiser?

For the 20 year old, how about something like marshall Bluetooth headphones? My DP (now 33) got some for his 30th. He loves them and uses them daily.
I also just told him I was writing this and he nodded... so that's approval from a man right there!

What about a North Face beanie. Agree with the wireless headphones.

Not sure what your budget is but as a Chelsea fan, I would love this!

I have bought a bean to cup coffee machine for my DS fiance as that is what she asked for. I didnt wait until Black Friday as I had a specific one in mind and knowing my luck it would sell out.

Thanks for that link, got him a lovely jacket from that website, checked with my DD and she said he would love it. I was also looking at the Marshall bluetooth headphones suggested by another poster, but I spoke to my DD and he doesn't like over the head ones. Any more ideas, please share I am managing to complete my Christmas shopping very nicely with your help. :)

Thats brilliant, unfortunately my DD has just decorated their room and got all the photos in place, said there is no room for it, which is a shame as that looks like a really special gift

@Jenasaurus

Glad you were able to find something! I might just have to treat myself to the Hazard photo 😆
