DS Girlfriend present ideas

[KingCatMeowInSpace]

Am I supposed to buy DS’s girlfriend a Xmas present?
I’ve only met her once very briefly and they’ve been together about 6 months and meet up once a week- I likely won’t see her again before Xmas (DS will obviously) What’s a generic 18 year old girl present - she doesn’t seem girly, more alternative.

Could you get her some perfume or something for the shower/bath? Fancy chocolates? Could you ask your son for ideas? I think it would be nice to get her a token something. (Also I’m following for ideas for my nephews girlfriend of the same sort of age!)

Can you ask DS for some ideass?

Generic:
things like sol de janeiro
a nice hat/gloves/scarf set
lush Christmas collection

alternative:
jellycats
sylvanian families
hello kitty

Might seem a bit childish but they like those kind of things these days

Thanks - have asked DS and got nothing and says he’s no idea. Doesn’t know if she wears make up 🤷‍♀️

Fluffy mittens. job done.

Are you seeing her on Christmas Day (or Eve, or Boxing Day)? If not and you’ve only met her briefly once before, I wouldn’t think you should be getting her a Christmas present at all? Or if you feel you must, or want something ‘just in case’, just something little like a nice box of Hotel Chocolat or maybe a Sol de Janieiro item.

No I don’t imagine I’ll be seeing her but wondered if I should give DS something to give her when he sees her nearer Xmas to give her his own present. I’m fine not to bother aswell - not sure what’s the right thing to do.

Love this for him 😂

I would get her a scarf and a wee tube of hand cream.

We got dc’s one a Leonidas chocolate box. It’s in a nice fancy box.

I wouldn’t bother getting her anything; if you’ve only briefly met her once,you don’t really know her. I really don’t think it’s necessary, especially since it seems to be quite a casual relationship if they’re only seeing each other once per week.

I wouldn’t get her anything - it would be kind of weird if you did. You don’t know her. If your DS doesn’t know or care then you absolutely shouldn’t either. Stop making more work for yourself.

If you were seeing her at Christmas then yes, but seeing as you’re not, and you’ve only met her once, I wouldn’t bother!

I’m going to get some urban outfitters socks, possibly nice shower gel too. Have only briefly met her too seeing as I’m buying for my others sons girlfriend who I have met a lot I feel like I’d like to do the same.

It’s a token gesture given that you don’t really know her. I would go for a gift set with shower gel and body lotion, there’s a whole range of price points.

Or you could give them a joint present of eg restaurant voucher or cinema voucher.

Rough Rider condoms?

In all seriousness, if you've only met her once and she's not coming over the Christmas period, I wouldn't bother getting her anything.

I think it’s a lovely idea. It doesn’t have to be anything big - I remember my ex’s mum buying me a ring (not an expensive one, it was silver and amber) our first Christmas together and being so touched by it. If you’d like to, maybe something like a couple of bits from Lush would be a good idea? A bath bomb and the smallest size shower gel would probably come in at around £12-15. That is probably what I’d buy somebody in that age range, especially if I didn’t know their interests. Chocs are a good suggestion as PP suggested, if you know she’s not vegan and can have milk etc. You could ask DS, but sounds like you might not get anywhere 😂

No don’t. It will only put her in difficult position as she hasn’t got you anything.
Maybe just give a card & say as much in a P.S.?
