I'm taking trainer wipes and tweezerman tweezers off your list 😀

Loving the air pod cleaner idea!

alcohol miniatures
Toblerone
cooling towels
sneaker balls
cupboard freshener
playing cards
mini spatula
muji ruler and pens

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 headset - but he just got this as a birthday gift from friends, so that's off the list.

Money for clothes/shoes.

Fragrance selection box (Boots)

Drawing stuff - fineliners, nice pens.

Retro sweets/snacks

Ds1 is 23 but Asd so different interests than average.

He hasn't asked for anything and never gives ideas.

I've got him:
frame/shelf for displaying lego characters with led lights.
A bottle of kraken rum with cherry
2 mini fake lego kits to make Japanese shops

Still to get:
Some books selected from a thread I started for ideas 😊
A bottle of Roku gin
Some mixers for his gin/rum
Lego character to look like him
Some chocolate/sweets/crisps
Maybe PJs or a tshirt

I've not done shopping for DS2 yet other than some pjs I know he needs, he will usually manage a few things on a list so I'll just chase him for that before I shop. Hopefully get his stuff organised next week.

I've also ordered both boys and ds2s girlfriend Tamagotchi. They both loved these when they first came out when they were kids. I'm thinking of a competition between them to see who can keep theirs alive the longest for an as yet to be determined prize. Just for a bit of fun.

H and I in the process of splitting up but will all still be together in the house for Christmas (for the last time) so trying to make it as not weird as possible.

Thank you! I've just bought a 2 for 1 crimpit - never heard of them, but I've two boys who will like them!

Long live the crimpit! The little kitchen gadget that nobody knew they needed!

Be added some smaller bits to my list..

A mini Tom Ford aftershave
An apple AirTag
A shapeshifting box
A jelly bean machine + jelly belly beans
Optical glass cube prism

Would you post links to the prism and shape-shifting box please.

So far (ds 16):-
Nike hoodies (sale atm)
Books physics and the best meals around the world
Crimpet
Fcuk anti persp
Xbox vouchers
Periodic table with some bits of elements in it, perspex
Airpod cleaner
Chocolates

He wants a new phone but still looking at that.

No list yet. It's still November! Jelly bean machine is a good call.

DS and a cousin got Crimpits last Christmas. He took it off to university.

I have absolutely no idea what to get my 17yo, and then it's his birthday at the end of January.
Off to read these lists to see if I get any inspiration.

Following for inspiration!

All I've got on my DS list so far is the Office Lego

@BigBoysDontCry can you please link to the Lego character display?

Off to investigate Crimpits...

Certainly 😊

www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/construction-and-cars/storage-and-display-units/5-level-minifigurine-display-case-with-led-lights/p/220532

To be fair he might fill the mini figure case completely with Stormtroopers...

Speaking of which I've also ordered him a Stormtroopers beer gift set.

I've ordered his mini figure too now and a set of red dwarf books and a graphic novel. So aside from the chocolate etc bits that I'll pick up in the supermarket, I think that's all his stuff done. I've established he doesn't need new PJs so unless I see a particular t shirt he might like then I'm not bothered about anything to add. He doesn't need any toiletries either.

Loving the croc headlights thank you

Following for ideas!

So far I’ve got DS some clothing from My Protein and from Nike - both currently have sales/discount codes on.

Also got him a car hoover and some aftershave.

Then some smaller things like hot chocolate for his velvetiser, grooming kit, air fresheners for his car (personalised).

Thinking of either trainers or a gilet as well.

Oh, you could buy your DS an Oodie, they are very popular and if you don’t want to pay the full price, there’s an eBay shop doing them for less than £20, I bought one recently to gift my DB - the labels are cut out but someone posted a photo of the ones which are genuine Oodies.

@Cubic

SHASHIBO Shape Shifting Box - Award-Winning, Patented Sensory Cube w/ 36 Rare Earth Magnets - Extraordinary 3D Magic Cube – Shashibo Cube Magnet Sensory Toy Transforms Into Over 70 Shapes (Spaced Out) amzn.eu/d/fAarXvP

There you go.

I've attached a pic of the cubes. DS has the top two and I've ordered the third as a stocking filler. They're quite cool placed where light goes through them

Would also recommend this for a teenager - they got it last month for DS when I did his room out

It's really cool - you can custom make the light and adjust it all via an app. You can even have multiple colours all at once

Makes a nice change from the usual LED strips too

Deal of the day: Govee LED Floor Lamp, RGBIC Corner Floor Lamp Works with Alexa Google Assistant, 16 Million Colours & 58 Scenes Mood Light for Living Room, Bedroom amzn.eu/d/agrXdMZ

For those who have Lego loving kids, IKEA have some great glass display cases for their built models.

Tennis racquet and balls - DS has discovered the joy of playing at the public courts.

And then nothing.... looking at everyone else's list with interest.

Just ordered 2 4 1 crimpets - thanks for the idea 😆

DS1 (16) main present is a gaming chair
He is also getting a The Office US book, and maths puzzle book

DS2 (14) main present is a new phone
He is also getting a pool cue and gloves, and Poetry For Neanderthals game

They’ll also both get a new onesie and selection box, and stockings mostly with sweets in but also a Steam gift voucher and Cubebot

Great ideas here thanks.

Am really struggling for ds2 but have nabbed the Crimpit (love it!) and things for his car are a good shout (car is a new thing since last year).

Sorry nothing to add except ds1 is getting a Pokémon Advent if anyone has a fan!
