Posh adult "stocking" presents

I need some posh small presents. 4 for men and 4 for women. Maybe 10/15 quid each? I want them to be a bit out of the ordinary-and something they won't want to recycle immediately. The recipients are between 23 and 28.Any ideas?

I don't know about "posh" but here are some adult ideas (that aren't utter tat).

Book of stamps
Coffee gift card
Nice ball point pen
Small triple Milled soap
Small packet of decent chocolate

Compact mirrors?

A decent travel cup - I've got a Yeti one on my wish list but Camelbak ones are a bit cheaper and also really good

Lip oils?

I got dh a fortnum and mason truffle honey he liked a lot. Maybe too old for that group though. I hate truffle but he loves it so he can add to things.

Penhaligon do similar but I think it might be £25.

Are you looking for 1 present for that budget?

But yes a decent pen.
Local tea/coffee etc. Often come in taster packs
Anything from Fortnums (small pots of jams etc)

Rose balsamic vinegar.

@TheSecondMrsCampbellBlack they've changed those Clarins lip oils recently and they're really runny now so don't last as long ☹️

Nuxe lip balm

-Hibiscus flowers? They are like a candied, edible flower you put into champagne/drinks. They are pretty, add some sweetness and are edible. Amazon, lakeland and waitrose sell them.

-Champagne truffles

-Bacon jam 😋https://porkpie.co.uk/products/bacon-jam?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwveK4BhD4ARIsAKy6pMJ7DjGJFSPkHQMgaG6e9TYK9DZ7xJZcLhgcFIY-OAsuDb8g96ScCmMaAqcsEALw_wcB

@pinkgown I posted on another thread about buying the same thing for everyone. Those card holders are spot on.

ForPearlViper · 23/10/2024 15:03

Maybe a bit below budget but the little french soaps in tins they have in TK Maxx always go down very well as a little token present. There's usually a variety of tin designs and fragrances that could do for men or women. They tend to be around £3/4 but I think they are stocked in more 'superior' outlets for a lot more.

TheSecondMrsCampbellBlack · 23/10/2024 15:04

@JC03745 OMG I didn't know I needed Hibiscus flowers but now I WANT SOME!

I thought of some other ideas:

-Nice Hot chocolate like lindt or these chocolate flakes (although I've never tried them) https://knoops.co.uk/collections/chocolate?srsltid=AfmBOooW6MFBWLs1OHvp89WiIh-65SieVL6sr_QXnbMSlLPQbSB-8nKq

-If any of them have trouble sleeping, a little temple roller with lavender and essential oils. Aldi have them currently for 1/2 the price of holland/barratt. Neals yard also have them. https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/tisserand-sleep-better-roller-ball-60099166?skuid=099166&utm_campaign=shopping&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=pmax&&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwveK4BhD4ARIsAKy6pMJm-etYULNA7heN4mmxCqd70Dh_GYLgYzKVqgOHayo2YoZRfzuDhlEaApNKEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

-If they travel. Eye mask/personalised leather luggage labels with their initials on

-Mini umbrella

Just bought a couple of stocking fillers for women with very "good taste" - little yellow tins with four handcreams inside from L'occitane about £13 each.

DS & Durga car air fresheners (you could get a multi pack and split it). Useful for hanging up in wardrobes as well.
