A thread for "what I have for everyone" (so far or done)

[flyingvisit]

Each year; I find these so useful as I tend to get some great ideas from others who have bought for someone the same age/gender etc.
So if anyone is happy to post what they have for their recipients, please do post.
Thank you x

Ok, I’ll go first:
rain jacket for DH
flnnel shirt for DH
portable coffee machine for same DH

Gift cards for a local coffee and donut shop for a friend

Barbra Streisand autobiography on my wish list

Torch with extendable, bendy neck that is also magnetic so elderly parent can use it for retrieving pins (she sews) from under the sofa.

Best-ever present for DH: beanie hat with built-in LED torch. Bought from, erm, petrol station. He wears it almost every night once the clocks go back to take the dog out or empty the bins.

A nice watch for our neighbour. He does a lot for us and was admiring dh’s watch so we got him a nice similar one.

Thank you - I thought I'd missed something (vegan Baileys was a request some time ago that I've failed to fulfil). Homemade sounds good.

The vegan Baileys was discontinued.

You can get Vegan Amarula. The normal one is very nice
