Present for a (young but working) adult child?

Living at home & working, so not short of cash & not a big consumer type anyway. In the past I've bought clothes/shoes etc, but feel I've done that to death, items for room (no space for any furniture type items, but maybe something decor-ish?), event tickets (but harder to plan given Covid uncertainties).

I'm not really looking for a big present, but I'd love to hear what others are getting their DC.

Money into a LISA (for future house deposit) or money into a pension.

Plus random bits and bobs in a stocking.

Step DC, nieces & nephews (all adults) in the family are getting some of the below:

A fake oodie
Perfume/aftershave
Festival kit
Bath bombs
Pringles cracker (4 small pots)
Metre of Oreos

A really soft blanket, some favourite foods, money for driving lessons or voucher for fuel if they they have a car.

Heated throw, decent camera, fitbit, power bank.

Following with interest.

We got our 19 year old a Tommy Hilfiger wallet for his recent birthday:

Thanks - I like the idea of wok / recipe kit, and blanket also. I'm actually still paying for driving lessons given for last birthday (one reason I'm looking for a nice but smaller present this time!). More suggestions always welcome as GPs and aunts also bound to ask for ideas!

Anyone else looking for ideas, I bought dd a leather rucksack and accessories (covered notebook, cord organisers) from here for her 18th which was a big hit.

Some ideas I have on ds's list this year -

Polarized sun glasses suitable for driving

ID/licence/bank card holder

Airtags (down as a maybe, need to look into them more and if they are useful or just a gimmick)

Torque Wrench 🤦🏻‍♀️ (for his expanding toolkit, the one he wanted was a bit expensive so he put off buying it)
