Very 'Ungrown up' gifts?

[73kittycat73]

Love this section of MN. Reading a lot of the threads, everyone is asking for (Apart from Lego!) very 'grown up' presents/present ideas. Like candles, face cream, scarfs, etc. Am I the only one with a very different type of gift? I'm 47 YO and I'm getting, amongst other things, Sims 4 expansions, The Simpsons lounge pants, A Harley Quinn graphic novel...Are any of you out there getting anything 'ungrown up?' Like any computer games for example?
Just curious really.

Last year - despite a no presents pact - I was gifted a whoopie cushion, a rubber dog turd, and a copy of the Haynes Workshop Manual for the B'rel class Klingon Bird of Prey.

I'm 45.

I'll be asking for Xbox games, but I've not decided which ones

I am currently trying to talk me out of this

get it !

I'm getting an arduino kit. Don't think this is a very grown up gift. I would be hugely disappointed with scarf and handcream type gifts (I would never, ever show it though).

Next year I want a 3d printer. I'm 42 but just a big kid at heart really!

@knackeredcat

I think I might want some of those original style My Little Ponies, just like the ones I used to have in the 80s

My teen daughter found some in a charity shop a couple of weeks ago - she was over the moon with finding them (so was I 😂 as they were dated the years that me and my sister would have played with them)

I'm enjoying reading about all the ungrown up gifts in this thread!
A Switch sounds nice SeeYouLaterAlf...I want one too!

I've bought myself a " human body" Usborne sticker book too!
I find them very satisfying and I'm 56!!

Because we watched Die Hard every year and I because I say "I've really got to make this" every year DH has decided to get me this..
🤣🤣🤣

the great thing is that my brain is like a sieve so by next week I'll have forgotten about it!
(the downside is that I can never wear it in public. but that's ok)

I did not know this existed! This is a disaster. 😂

I have found my people! My inlaws don't believe me when I say I would like a new book etc. My DH usually gets given amazon vouchers while I get given something "girly" like candles or a clothes shop voucher, which feel like a waste. (I am aware this sounds ungrateful, but for example I had a £20 new look voucher last year and I still have around half of that left.)

@DaysLikeThis1 I have the Elder Scrolls official cookbook on my list, I'm looking forward to making sweetrolls and complaining that someone stole one 🤣

@DinosaurOfFire

No one is getting their hands on my sweetroll!

I have the jumper version. I do wear it in public!

@evilharpy
🤣 you are my tribe!

I was wondering about the zip up hoodie and jumper versions but just can't wear that much grey (I don't like grey).

Ooh, some lovely gifts being mentioned here. I need to save up for a Switch. I have an (Very) old Gameboy Colour with a Pokemon game on, and I have a Nintendo 3DS with a few games.
Love all The Sims talk. I loved the original Sims the best. I know it's controversial but I loved Makin' Magic. Loved getting the pissed gnome!

Definitely invest in a switch! Animal crossing and Pokémon make it so worth it.

Thanks DoctorWhoTardis. I'm looking forward to playing Animal Crossing. I'll have to check out the other games for it too.
