Present for DD's boyfriend

[Thoughtsareswirling]

Daughter has a new boyfriend who is visiting for New Year. I would like to give him something as a Xmas present but have never met him before! Wracking my brain to think of something nice but not too expensive. He doesn't drink.

Noted Aromas do aftershave that’s copies of branded/designer ones but you can get 100ml for like £30. So could get him a version of his favourite aftershave?

or a gift voucher for the cinema, or just eat or restaurants, so they can go out and do something.

I think you need to start as you mean to go on (or I do as I have 3 dc who may have many boyfriends/girlfriends over the next few years). So I always keep it the same and I buy chocolate and a gift card.

There's some really nice but affordable aftershaves in the body shop just now

Hotel Chocolat selection

I definitely wouldn't buy copy aftershaves as it looks a bit cheap / like he's not worth the real deal

I second a nice box of chocolates and a gift card

Not sure if he likes chocolates!

Ask your dd!

My oldest daughter’s boyfriend is a big Man U fan so I’ve got him a football you make out of bricks like Lego but smaller.
my younger daughter’s bf I’m getting a t shirt for. Well she is, I’m just paying lol!

Aftershave miniatures? Sweet hamper? Scratch map? Like a date one or football stadium or countries visited?

I wouldn't buy anything for someone I hadn't met when I wasn't going to see them until a week after Christmas.

They haven’t been together long… I know, I know!

Cinema or nandos voucher, something that they can enjoy together.

Nice aftershave definitely.

A voucher for them to do something together,cinema,bowling,meal. Or give it yoir daughter as part of her present and write both names on

I wouldn't get him a Christmas present if he's not arriving until after Christmas and you haven't met him anyway and your daughter hasn't known him long!

They all like Lego sets round here! There are some racing care ones for £20 ish, you’d be supposed how popular they are.

I wouldn't get him anything either. If it's a week after Christmas then enough time has passed. Has your daughter mentioned he is planning on buying you something?

Something generic. Not aftershave. I think chocolates and a voucher sounds good.

I'd get him some Molton brown shower gel and/or a John Lewis gift card

You don't need to buy him a gift, you haven't met him and unless others are exchanging gifts at new year, it's just a bit unnecessary.

I have bought a token toiletries set the first Christmas. More so our child can see we thought of their partners. We might have only met them once or twice but then more personal gifts subsequent years depending upon how much we see them and how well we have got to know them.

North face beanie hat

Nobody needs to do anything. Some people want to. The OP didn't ask for advice on her choices.

Agree Milton Brown Black Pepper shower gel would be a good choice

Im getting some generic ‘man’ perfume and body wash gift set from next for my sisters partner. They’ve been together about 2 months but it’s her first Christmas and he doesn’t drink. Otherwise my go to is a little whisky miniature set!

The present isn’t really a present for him. It’s more an extra present for dd to say “oh I see you have a boyfriend, look how much I care for you and your new fledgling relationship by adding him into our family gift giving”
