Hi, I have a family to buy a present for. Too many of them to buy individually. Children from mid teens to early twenties. I think I've exhausted the games theme. Any ideas please?

Are they going to be altogether when you give them this? What’s your budget?

One or two disposable cameras, and a coupon for a processing service… I like The Film Safe. You can request digital scans so everyone can have copies.

A really good cake, or giant box of cookies, there are lots of delivery services like Get Baked or the Biscuiteers, etc.

Also food: a gift card for a takeaway service eg uber eats or dominos, whatever, for an easy family night meal over the holidays. Someone gave us one last year and it was great with no one having to cook or suggest yet another cheeseboard meal, we ordered 4 types of xl pizzas and just relaxed. This could be expensive, though, because I’d budget at least £10pp due to fees etc.

Thanks @evtheria for these ideas. I like the idea of a really good cake, or a food delivery voucher. They're rural though so they might be out of range for that. They'll all be together on Christmas day.

I could go higher budget-wise, say £80. Or maybe more for something fabulous.

A dessert delivery. You can pick a variety of desserts to be delivered day after Boxing day when some of their Xmas stuff has gon as it will take up fridge space. I'd go 2 x raspberry pavlova, 2 x lemon cheesecake, 2 x vanilla cheesecake, 2 x strawberry roulade, 2 X mint Vianetta, 2 x quality tubs of ice cream, clotted cream x 2 and a couple of boxes of minced pies.Something for everyone. My teens love a dessert at Xmas time. They don't really have dessert through most of the year.

@caringcarer that's a really good idea, thank you!
