Posh adult "stocking" presents

[CurlewKate]

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'll check tonight and report back!

Here you go :)

I did cheese and locally made chutney for a male recipient once and it seemed to go down well.

Lots of ideas for things for women, I need some ideas for men too! Really struggling as they don't like football/drinking/stuff about hobbies. Gift cards for clothes shops and the cinema is about all I can come up with. One of them is very picky about food so that's a difficult area and the other loves food.

@HeyDougie
I once filled a shallow basket with cheeses and various pickles for a male relative.....went down well!

Most men like toys & gadgets (as do I!) This isn't the best list I've ever seen, but covers a lot of bases. I'm now busy talking myself out of getting myself a pair of digital drum sticks 😳

NOTHS has a slightly less laddish 'for men' list, some good ideas:

Yes - cheese / chutney / big jar of pickled onions / hot chilli sauces

Yard of Jaffa Cakes or Oreos
Paul Smith socks if you're feeling rich
Books

@HeyDougie this is an M&S one that is round. Temu have them cheaper. Also Morrisons have a giant square one for £3.50. Doesn’t look as good but easier to fill.

@HeyDougie

I have the Penhalighans ones and use for different perfumes. I also mix to create my own scents.

Got these from amazon which are just as good, so have one in my handbags and main coat/jacket pockets as well as in the car.
Link not working for some reason but can attest they're good.

I absolutely love these organic gifts from Helpmeorganics in Cheshire! Candle melts, essential oils, therapy balms - all beautifully gift boxed

My daughter loved them.

beat me to the punch..yep the penhaligons worked with my other bottles. And 100% agree the amazon ones are just as good. DS 20 has one and I bought one for his Gf this year too. The white one even looks almost excatly like my penhaligons one.

Went from thinking the same thing, to thinking that, actually, I always like a book of stamps in my purse. Then comes the sad thought that I am mid 40's and way beyond the age demographic specified, no matter how young I feel.

I'm going to have to get bigger stockings!!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a lip balm that looks a bit more "manly"? One of the men is on a journey towards his feminine side.....

Incidentally-I gave my dil one of those bird feeders that suctions to a window recently. She loves it and she's 24.

Where did you get it from please?

@HeyDougie I got it from TicToc Shop- buy this one is from the RSPB-they have several different ones, I think. www.chubbymealworms.co.uk/products/rspb-window-bird-feeder

Unfortunately squirrels broke our window bird feeders 😭

I have just discovered this website - wentworthpuzzles.com, it has some individual lovely Christmas crackers with amazingly beautiful small jigsaws inside.

Does this mean that the birds poo ends up going down the window?

This lip balm is brilliant and appropriately manly, I think: https://theordinary.com/en-gb/squalane-amino-acids-lip-balm-100657.html

They have some actual shops as well as online if you only want to buy the one thing.

Horrified by how expensive the larger ones are though. I would love to find some quality adult jigsaws which aren't so expensive.
