What same gift could I get everybody at Christmas? A la Nessa in Gavin and Stacey...

[BlurpBlorp]

So tired at the thought of stress and expense of buying gifts for everyone this year. I know I sound like a tight arse... but wondering what everyone would be a good idea for everyone? I'll buy the DC something more obvs but my parents, sister, nieces, nephew, best friend... I thought of one of those custom stamps with the person's face on? Any other ideas welcome!

Gift vouchers? I would not use a stamp with my face on....

Scented candles/ diffuser type thing?

Foody gifts? I'm doing hampers of local gin, rum and nice foodstuffs. Maybe a candle.

A tap. Tidy.

I don’t know what this is- can you post a link?

Lottery tickets

I'm sure you were after slightly bigger ideas just come across a 3 in one USB/micro USB/iPhone charging cable which I thought was brilliant (sick of all the cables) and I am buying everyone one them for Christmas.

You could get everyone something like a scarf or PJ's.

You know you don't need to get them anything?

Ive always wanted to buy taps for the family. I thought it was hilarious. But my in laws just wouldn't get it!

Closest I got was lottery tickets.

The instants now are quite complicated, I didn't know. One of our family is exactly like Dave from the Royale Family. Can you imagine the scene when he tried to work his out? Caroline Ahrene would have been proud of me!

Salt works discovery perfume / aftershave set.

£29 I think and you get a voucher in it for £25 which enables them to buy a big one of the fragrance they like.

Beautifully packaged too. I'm getting them for everyone I can this year!!

Taps?

Just go to the supermarket and get everyone some chocolate and a voucher. Job done

Scratch cards, planting kits - amaryllis or narcissus for indoor/wild flower seeds, brownie/cupcakes subscription.
Make lots of gingerbread biscuits and put some in pretty bags for everyone.

It's never that easy unfortunately… person A has a violent skin reaction to all fragranced products, person B has been sober for fifteen years, person C is a coeliac, person D is a diet-controlled diabetic, person E has an ethical objection to Amazon, person F lives in a tower block without a balcony, person G has a very particular personal style which no accessories you can afford will go with, person H has severe dyslexia and dysgraphia and won't thank you for notebooks, person I has a religious prohibition on gambling, person J gets asthma attacks from candles, flowers, reed diffusers and the like, person K doesn't have a phone, person L will take a voucher as a pointed statement of not caring… and in some cases, persons A to L are all the same person.

You could get them all an Oxfam goat perhaps.

I'm not into that myself as if a gift is being made in my name to a charity i'd at least like to choose the charity myself. But your family might dig this!!

@off 🤣🤣🤣 think you've met my family...

Buy everybody a book. Not the same one probably but you could go to just one shop or get them all on Amazon.

A book. Not the same book, but a book.

What are these stamps with faces on?

Something useful like pyjamas, or a variety of fancy umbrellas like a big golfing or a colour change one. Cinema vouchers.

A book. I often do this.

My Gran once gave everybody a fiver and a toblerone (not sure if this was in the late 80s or 90s).
Thankfully scented candles (most awful gift ever) weren't really a thing then.....

Great choice, who wouldn’t want to receive this?

Expensive box of Hotel Chocolate chocs. Fun for all the family! Or, John Lewis vouchers, I'm always delighted when I get one from my sister.

Theatre ticket vouchers?
