My DD2 is 24. I have got her earrings from Astrid & Miyu, a cashmere scarf (which she requested) books and a pile of cosmetics from Glossier. She got a coat from Monki for her birthday.

Second the brand glossier also the urban decay eye makeup pallets the nude one is great.

Lush products sound perfect, but if you want to add anything else maybe something edible?
Some special chocolate cookies, chocolates, sweets etc would be a nice touch and I don’t think they ever go unappreciated!

So then they have something useful and something to eat, maybe add something to do like a book or a puzzle? Although that depends on age I guess.

Honeymint · 16/12/2021 07:30

My grandma used to buy people a copy of the best book she’d read that year, even if it wasn’t quite their taste it was a nice touch.

White Company cashmere bed socks. Such a treat

Be careful with Lush, as some women are boycotting it because of it’s poor treatment of its staff - making female staff be kissed by customers as an example - and political stances.

Honeymint I love the best book idea.

GAW19 · 16/12/2021 07:35

I'm 24 and love a thoughtful item. Nothing tacky, just something like a photo frame/ canvas or something personal with a nice saying Smile

Honeymint · 16/12/2021 07:35

@Knitter99
Socks are a great idea! Somebody got me these set for my birthday and they’re so snug for winter!

I would not buy lush products for anyone - disgusting misogynists'!
MAC or urban decay , with reusable make up remove pads if they're eco conscious.

ApolloandDaphne · 16/12/2021 08:09

Ooh yes to socks, That is the other thing I have bought DD2. She loves cosy socks.

FeltCarrot · 16/12/2021 08:12

My DD is 24 and she’s getting silk pillowcases, perfume, neon “disco” sign, earrings plus money to buy stuff for her new flat.

time2tork · 16/12/2021 08:20

I'm in 20s. (Late) Anything Moissanite Jewellery, it's the new Diamond!

Poisinedmummy · 16/12/2021 08:29

I’m in the 20s and I’ve hinted for…

Straighteners
Perfume
Pandora charm ( I know some people don’t like these on mumsnet 😂)
Perfume
Vouchers
Benefit set
I love all my stocking bits like new socks, creams bath stuff
And you can’t go wrong with pjs!

PigeonPigPie · 16/12/2021 08:40

People are so individual, it depends what they like! Personally I wouldn't want makeup or skincare or bath stuff unless they were items I already use and love. I'd love bed socks, nice stationary, paperbacks, candles/diffuser oil, loose leaf tea, sleep spray, vouchers for kindle books.

TractorAndHeadphones · 16/12/2021 08:43

Sourdough starter kit
Oodie
Soup mug

Meadowbreeze · 16/12/2021 08:49

Have a look at the home section on urban outfitters or Zara. They have some lovely little trinkets they might like. A bit pricey though.
I personally love theatre tickets and would love something from le creuset.

Twinsandsome · 16/12/2021 08:49

In my 20’s (for 1 more year 🥲) and love candles, books, vouchers, chocolate, slippers, maybe an olaplex item?

I’ve hinted for any of the following
-Ugg slippers (would never buy myself these so they would be a real treat for me)
-Weighted blanket
-space nk gift card (they have my fav candle and make up skincare etc)

cheesepizza22 · 16/12/2021 08:54

Emma Bridgewater mug and some fluffy socks or a nice coffee/ hot chocolate thing. I absolutely loved receiving this as a gift (I’m 25)
Temptation Gifts often have a sale on and quick delivery as well 😄

LawrenceChaney22 · 16/12/2021 09:11

A nomination bracelet/charm
My sister and I ( 25 & 33) get each other a bunch of little pampering things, false eyelashes/nails, zara perfume, just a wee mixture of things and it goes down well from both ends.
