I'm looking for some ideas for my DDad, he is in his 70s a keen gardener and has an allotment, also goes away in the caravan and likes war stories. Not really a massive drinker or fussed with nice chocolate etc. He has everything he needs but I didn't know if anyone had and niche ideas for his hobbies?!

I've got heated gilets, RHS memberships and tickets, random garden items and LEGO architect stuff in the past which have all been hits.

Can anyone help out please?!

My DD has just turned 12 and is into the Emo look. I've bought her a black and red emo beanie from amazon (gets good feedback and is apparently nice and soft) and black leather fingerless gloves from an ebay seller with 100% feedback. These were both at her request. Other than that, I've ordered new skin for her Oled switch with spooky cats on it and matching joycon button covers. All were on deals / less than RRP. All her other presents are mostly Kawai and Manga related, apart from I bought a pair of her favourite pleather leggings from New Look and another Guns n Roses T shirt cos she loves them.

I'll get some links together and post them in case they are useful.

Black leather fingerless gloves (also in tan and other colours) £7.99 with free postage on ebay. They are actually driving gloves, but DD wanted them cos they are Emo. I've seen them for £15/£20 on the brands own website.

@RatatatCat if your DF enjoys going away in his caravan, could you buy him tickets for a Living History event, combine a couple of his interests? I've been to this one in Ironbridge Gorge before which was good!

Thank you to everyone for the wax melts info, I will definitely keep a look out I've used Smelly Pigs before who I'd recommend for lovely spring fragrances, but their Christmas scents aren't hitting the spot for me! What I really want is the frosted pine & eucalyptus air freshener as a wax melt...

@buckeejit have a look on blue banana. They do amazing alternative clothing and accessories!

Look at Drybones robes for a Dryrobe alternative. They’re a small uk based company and we love the coats in our house (we have 3!). They’re on sale for BF this week as well.

*edit, this was in response to someone asking for a dry robe for DS but I don’t know how to tag or quote on here!

@Mummypete ah sorry I assumed the dark grey were the black iyswim

@Ilovepugs2017 I haven't got one myself but I've been dithering over buying for the family. The og's are so expensive!

I have a £10 off AO £299 spend. It says on large kitchen appliances if anyone needs it

Thank you so much @Someaddedsugar and @fishfingersandchipsagain . All OK today - just a day of it all happening at once yesterday.

@RatatatCat War stuff - visit military museums, secret bunkers, Edinburgh tattoo tickets
For gardening / allotment usb chargable hand warmers, cold weather waterproof socks

Glad you're alright @Reastie !

@RatatatCat would he like a visit to Kew lights? They look amazing.

On a similar note, has anyone seen any discounts on Blenheim palace lights?

@redjoker thank you for this. I’ve bought two and they will go well with Boot Bananas in a stocking. 😀

Great deal on animatronic yoda 65% off yoda

Just bought chocolates in Sainsbury’s, Nectar prices. Large tray of Ferrero Roche for £5 and similar reductions on After Eight. Their Baileys is now £13, glad we got some last week.

Has anyone a spare 7 off 75 for argos. My microwave has just packed in 🙈

Can anyone recommend somewhere to get a personalised samsung phone case. Thank you

@mamabluestar certain Burga cases can be personalised and they're available for all different phones. They're really popular on IG/Tik Tok. There's 25% off atm and if you have more people who'd like them they're 4 for the price of 2 on top of the 25% off!

What do I want from Liberty that I don’t know I want?

The only present left to buy is for elderly FIL with simple tastes, so not sure I can use that as an excuse 😆
