Not much so far but I have my list growing !

DS will be 23 and not a fan of "things" . He requests money which is fine by us . In the past I've put money inside a book with snazzy paperclips .
DD is 20 and she does like having things bought for her

I o a Dec 1st Box for each.
Robe (I've bought DS one)
Pyjamas for DD (got one pair)
Lounge pants and TShirts for DS (not bought yet)
Underwear (TKMaxx for DS , good range of brands. Victoria Secret for DD )
Socks ( sports socks and smart ones)
Toiletries
Advent Calendar and sweets

I usually do Beauty Advent Calendar for DD but it gets more difficult . She has quite sensitive skin so can't use lots of products . I'll buy some of her favourites .

We'll go out one Saturday and look about . She got a Superdry coat last year and a gilet recently .
And we're going to see ABBA Voyage as our Christmas Night Out

I feel I should be buying things now especiallly as I don't want to be struggling round with loads of bags .

DD sparkly mulled wine bath bombs, necklace and hair mask- one of the ones from Superdrug that comes with a cap
DDiL necklace
DS1 aftershave
DGS1 his own cutlery
DH beer glass shaped pasta ( stocking filler)
DMiL a fleece blanket.

That's more than I thought. DH can get some more when he's recovering from his heart op

Next normally do lovely playstation dressing gowns
