Boys and girls?

I've got standard socks, bath stuff, chocolate, earrings... any ideas for cool stuff I haven't seen before?

I try to stick to things that are actually useful and/or wanted rather than novelty items that will end up in landfill - so yes to socks, chocolate, etc - but maybe nicer versions of what they would usually get.

Inesyoucantbelieveawordshesays · 27/11/2021 11:21

Yes I'm inclined to agree.
Too much clutter in this house by far.

I bought DS (21) a keyring multi tool (he collected keyrings), Malibu in a tin, socks, a magnetic bottle opener, new phone charger cable, memory card for his camera, personalised luggage tag for his suitcase. Can't think what else to get.

Just curious. What will a 15 year old do with the ducky? Does she collect them?

Mine are 22 (DS) and 19(DD)

I do a Dec 1st Hamper . Their Christmas presents go in the stockings because they're tiny and ££ and we don't have presents under the tree (mainly because we don't have a Tree . We have cats . Tree lasts a week )

So Dec 1st Bag
Pyjamas (nice pair./festive pair ) for DD
Loungewear for DS ( he sleeps in these )

Underwear ( branded )
Socks

Toiletries (nicer ones than they'd have throughout the year)

Cadbury advent calendar
Day 1 of DD Beauty advent Calendar ( I make this for her )

Sweets for DS + Hotel Chocolate
Need to get sweets for DD

Their actual Christmas presents -
DD has gloves ( branded) earrings and probably a gift voucher (not decided yet )
DS probably money , chargers for phone , XBox game

They've been asked to give us a list but both cannot think of anything

Lump of coal it is then , matey !

AlexaShutUp · 27/11/2021 13:34

Crystals! Chocolate. Nice hair products, shower gel etc. Stationery.

Blanketpolicy · 27/11/2021 13:41

ds is getting a big gift (combined Christmas and 18th birthday gift) this year. We want to do the stocking as he likes it, but it is being cut right back, to things he needs and would normally just be bought at Christmas

Long charger cable as his broke last week and he is on a short cable now, so by the time Christmas comes he will really appreciate one 🤣
Card holder
Big bottle Smirnoff ice
Bottle opener keyring
Giant chocolate buttons (gets these every year)
Pringles
Haribo

Socks
