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 bought a few boxes of these sock shop crackers to bulk out gift bags. Each cracker contains a festive unisex pair of socks.

Love these, what a great idea.

). I always keep one of the 177 double-perforated pads on my desk (£4.20). Each page has a perforation at the top a perforation half way down the page so ideal for notes and lists.
I can't find these , could you link?

No problem!

I've just been reminded about Candlestick Press, a wonderful little company who publish poetry pamphlets. I came across them a few years ago when I was sent their In Memoriam pamphlet when dh died ‐ for a few weeks then I could only read poetry (short, direct, emotional). They publish a Christmas poetry pamphlet every year and they're very pretty, I just ordered their Ten Poems About Snow for dp's dad.

They have an outlet on eBay where they are £13, sometimes with non-cashmere, merino wool ones for £8.

Thank you, just ordered a box.

Sorry, I can’t link, but I’ve just had an email from Japan House with several lovely things that reminded me of this thread. The one that caught my eye, and what I now NEED for myself, is some sort of butter scraper that is to be used on block butter that is too hard to spread!

I like the notebooks from WTF- have front covers saying stuff like 'everything I'm right about' or 'shit I've got to remember'

@CurlewKate
very curious as to what you decided in the end....please come back and share!

These look perfect - pewter utensils for people that have everything. Why get your jam out with a knife when you can have a miniature spade with a robin. UK made too

DS 26 bought himself one of those stick on bird feeders. Alas it just kept falling off.

Could they be split and used as table crackers? I think they might be better than a cracker with a thimble in! I see they are one size, how generous were they?

Those are really lovely, @AndThereSheGoes

@AndThereSheGoes - thank you, just bought a jam spoon and a door knob

As someone in this age range, I think @Chestnut134 has it spot on.

I've bought 9 packs of these notepads which will be wrapped with a book of stamps. All ages are getting them in their stocking, pictures carefully chosen.

This is a great thread.

I think that is a lovely gift @HannahDefoesChristmasHamper especially with the stamps. I would be so thrilled to receive that and would v likely send letters to loads of people

I can’t stop thinking about the Penhaligons travel atomiser which was mentioned here. It just looks like a proper gift - lovely packaging etc. I feel like a lot of similarly priced items just don’t have the same wow factor.

What beautiful spoons!

Im waiting for my order of a long pewter spoon with a wren on it for my MIL.

Just reviving this thread-a little earlier than last year. Sooo looking forward to new ideas!!

I know it’s not in the least original but we enjoyed buying dachshund socks at Socktopus for the new dachshund owner in our family.

I’ve started buying targeted socks already!

These are outside the price bracket but they are so lovely!https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChsSEwiKup6o_fOPAxVMlFAGHa95I9AYACICCAEQRxoCZGc&co=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0NPGBhCDARIsAGAzpp1HLprIJhMRm8QKujQknxvEWERRl5RajpEU7bw_kaLL1LU-8lTxlhgaAoAXEALw_wcB&cce=1&sig=AOD64_0mzfNf861Y37P2udu-dijjgZpumw&q=&ved=2ahUKEwjM6pao_fOPAxVEa0EAHXPjKDMQwgUoAHoECBcQCw&adurl=
