Christmas Present Idea Dump (ADULTS)!

Hi everyone.

I know there are threads that go on RE Christmas present ideas, but personally I find it hard to skim through these to get ideas (as it descends into chat IMO). I also think it would be good to have a thread for only adult present ideas/ deals.

I would love for this thread to only have links and descriptions posted so its easier to scroll through and find good ideas (no comments)Grin

I'll go first - here are some of my ideas already:
Chillys bottle currently £4 off
Big bobble hats (not on offer but very cool idea IMO)
Xmas bauble with family faces in
Powder (fire safe) candle
(not linked) but portable chargers are handy to have
These Lulu lemon mens boxers which I bought for my partner to do sport and he absolutely swears by them
Adult lego - specifically linked this one as I think it's incredibleGrin

Any reciprocated ideas/help hugely appreciated 🙏

@DilemmaDelilah thank you! That is really helpful. Fingers crossed you get lots of credits!

I’ve been keeping an eye out for The Great Wave Lego in various places. I’m so happy about that. I just ordered it from Smyths toys for £69.99 and free postage. That was cheaper than Argos, which had postage added on.

I've just added this to my husband's list - a device for keeping a push button shower on so you don't have to keep pressing it. He plays a lot of sport and the changing room showers are always rubbish. Hoping to use it when we're camping too. A bit random but might be useful for someone else!

My husband got me one of these once. It was one of the best presents I've ever had.

This gadget for cleaning muddy boots was a brilliant gift for DH. Would be good for anyone who plays outdoor sports or walks a lot.

I agree, these are really good for football / rugby players etc. Worth keeping an eye on Black Friday as I'm sure I bought mine with about 30% off.

Vinoveritass · 05/11/2023 20:59

@anoldcharter I think it would be, certainly the earlier stages as it starts quite easy and gets harder, think there are four levels. It looks like it's aimed at age 12 up from what I could see from a quick google

Vinoveritass · 05/11/2023 21:02

@anoldcharter it's not really anything like wordle though, I think the name makes you think it will be. It's basically murder scenarios and you get clues and have to exclude things until you're left with what you think is the solution - a.person, place and murder weapon. I personally didn't take to it that well when I tried but my dh is still absorbed by it and is on the hardest level

anoldcharter · 05/11/2023 22:37

Thanks @Vinoveritass I ended up getting another book that was more like escape room clues and puzzles that is also interactive but think that murdle might be good for MIL, cheers....

My recommendation is the board game Chameleon https://bigpotato.co.uk/products/the-chameleon It’s a really excellent game for teens and adults.

I’m looking for somewhere to buy interesting bird feeders or bird food- not RSPB as I’ve looked in there. Something out of the ordinary.

I know you asked this ages ago, but my garden centre has started stocking these. They're made from various things, I think coffee husks, chaff, straw etc. All agricultural waste anyway.

They looked good in person, nice but neutral colours and plenty of choice of type of feeder. They also look like they'd be easy to clean. Not that exciting maybe, but I liked them and think it's nice you could buy a few as a matching set if you liked, or have different materials and colours.

There was a hanging bird bath/flat feeder too with a little bird model in the middle that I really liked, in fact, I bought one for my DSis.

I just got DH one of these (I chose the city where we had our honeymoon).

Bought an apron from this Etsy shop after seeing it on Wolf and Badger (shipping lower from Etsy). Has arrived, is lovely. And funny. Lots to choose from but I like the grill power with all the female singers.

I got liberty one last year and adore it

@LemonFrosting I got a really nice tote bag from Primark. It has a Monet (I think) painting printed on it.

mumonthehill · 07/12/2023 14:56

I also just got a handkerchief from holly and co and some chocolate. So pleased, so thankyou as I stumbled across this thread looking for a couple of extras for DH.
