Has already got a phone, headphones and an iPad so doesn't need or want any tech. Doesn't want or need clothes.
Am getting some 'posh' fragrance
Have bought a new duvet cover
Absolutely no ideas for anything else, and doesn't want money either!

Also, do you have any charities making collections? We have women's refuges collecting shoe boxes full of gifts. The kids are all taken care of but there is a shortage for the women. So you could make a box up and donate on his behalf. Take a photo of the box to show him and write a little card to go in. It's things like hot water bottles, pyjamas, basic toiletries, soap bags, gloves hat scarfs, little charms /bracelets etc. In sure the refuge will give guidelines. But if he REALLY Doesnt want something, that might tick a large box for him if you understand. I can't think of one person who wouldn't be delighted to donate to something like that but you know your son.

Maybe a subscription to some software? If he may enjoy photo editing, you can look up for a Photoshop subscription or its alternatives like something from this list. Power bank would be a good thing to give, too. Audio books, if he enjoys them, or a subscription to tech/science magazines.

He doesn't want/need a present or cash but there is a child somewhere who will be getting very little this Xmas.

In your position I would donate to a charity who give out presents to children in need and tell your ds that he has helped make a child very happy this Xmas.

We already sponsor a child through Plan and also give a monthly donation to Save the Children, as well as supporting local charities. I don't want to pretend that a charity donation is a gift for ds, who also donates to charity off own back.

Thanks for the gift suggestions. Will have a proper trawl through them.

Can he drive? Maybe lessons?
Or if he can, something for his car?
