What to buy 21 year old female

[EsmeraldaFudge]

DS1 and his relatively new GF will be spending Christmas with us. We've not met her yet and Christmas is likely to be the first time we do meet.
I want to get her a couple of gifts for Christmas Day but have no clue. My own DD is only 8 so not really up to speed with what 21 year olds are really into.
Any advice and ideas appreciated!

Does she have any SM accounts where you can see a little of what she likes based on what she posts?

Good skin care/hair care gift set, some housewarming or self care stuff like aroma candles, Lush bath bombs or scented wax etc. I agree about getting her something nice in the chocolate line, too, you can never go wrong with this.
Could be a 2022 wall calendar, if you know her Birthday and Birthdays of her family members you can create a custom calendar with these days highlighted. Speaking of, it could be an adult coloring calendar too or get her a whole adult coloring book, there are tons of options and lots of them come off as usual notebooks with coloring elements so it'll be useful even if she never touches the coloring parts- www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Books-Coloring-Grown-Ups/zgbs/books/11357541011?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

My dd is a similar age and she love Charlotte Tilbury, Kerastase hair care, Hotel Chocolat - The dipping set looks fab and always has parcels arriving from ASOS!

Is she vegan? Environmentally conscious? Cruelty free? Allergic to rose extracts in anything that goes on the skin? Or scented candles in general? Does she ever drink alcohol? Does she ever drink it at home? What sort does she like?

I think you need to know a bit about someone in order to buy them a present that won't be a waste of money and possibly make them a bit sad.

Exactly my point. Giving someone something that’s ‘ok’, not what they’d have chosen but ok won’t do any damage. Giving them something they’re actively against might be worse than not giving them anything at all 😂

Give your son a budget and ask him to buy her something then pay him back. DD would have loved book vouchers or a special edition of a favourite book.

I’d say a voucher for a date that your son can share in

Or a silk pillow case for nice morning hair.
