21 year old DS - what can I get ?

[GoodnightGrandma]

It’s getting harder the older he gets, and he’s away at Uni so I feel like we hardly know him anymore !
Any suggestions ?
He doesn’t need a phone or AirPods, won’t have a computer upgrade. No hobbies.
I’ll get him the usual aftershave and socks, but can anyone think of anything that will be a nice surprise on Xmas morning ?

I got my ds a mini fridge for his room last year which he loves! Dd is away at uni and she has asked for one too for her uni room. A) to have cold drinks handy when studying and B) to stash the special treats in away from the communal fridge and any food snafflers!
All my DS (nearly 20) has asked for is a Lego Darth Vader head - he hasn't played with Lego for over 10 years! I'm also getting him those fire cones from Lakeland as he loves sitting out on the beach etc with his mates round a wee fire/fire pit so thought they would be something different.
He also wants a decent razor so keeping my eyes open for any good deals as I remember there were some last year.
Apart from that I'm stumped so hoping to get some ideas from your thread!

If he's away at Uni couple you do a food hamper? Has he got a Toastie Maker?

There is a thread going about 20 year olds which may have some suggestions.

I’m liking the mini fridge suggestion. Mine is 20 and away at uni too.

My nieces halls dont allow mini fridges in rooms, she has a combination lock fridge box instead

she has a combination lock fridge box instead.

I didn't even know those were a thing! That's another thing I can put on DS' list for Uni

I don’t think he’d use a toastie maker, as we have one and I’ve never seen him use it.
But I think he’d like one of those coffee machines, the ones you put pods in.

North Face hoodie
Power bank for phone
Krispy Kreme gift card
Space bullet pen
Cards against humanity

I was going to suggest a coffee machine!
I have a 20 year old DS at Uni and I'm stuck too
Every single thing I've suggested he has bought himself recently!
Trainers?
Bag for Uni
New computer mouse
Ear pods
Shaver/ toothbrush/ water Flosser

I’m interested in the water flosser for DS and DH.
Any recommendations ?

I think it will be after shave (I always look for one that’s new out), a hoodie, socks and undies. Predictable, but it makes a bit of a pile !
He’s very healthy, so chocolate is out.
He does like coffee so I might get some weird and wonderful ones.

No idea how to link but I bought a Waterpik for £35 on offer from boots last year so there are usually offers coming up to Christmas.
I bought myself a cheaper Fairywill brand one from Amazon which is good too
I've just ordered a Carhartt hoodie for my DS.. He sent me a link to, but have no other ideas so Good luck!

That's a shame for you, and quite unusual.
