do they have cars? I made my cousin (about the same age) a car washing hamper for Christmas. We don't usually buy presents but he was there on Christmas day. I didn't have a clue what he likes/dislikes but thought this would be something he could use. Got most of it from Wilkinsons.

Do you mind me asking what you put in it bunbun, may make my cousion one as he's mad on cars, even takes his girlfriend out and sits in the local tescos carpark with all the other car nuts LOL...

bun bun the older one has a car so might be a good option for him and something different.
the 21 yr old doesnt - he lives in london and sometimes works in a bar and thats all i know about him - and he likes his drink!!! the older one owns his own tatto shop in london and travels loads for it aswell - but again thats all i really know about him.....

maybe a giftcard for blockbusters

it's probably worth your while hanging fire on this one, as many of the online dvd rental companies often have good special offers on their gift subscriptions around christmas time.

you could also try earning enough points with a survey company in the meantime to qualify for a blockbuster voucher just in case the offers aren't as good this year as in previous years.

I was thinking I'd pick it up from ebay etcc as an mser I'd never pay full price for anything:D thanks for the info though:D

Would like to join in with this thread as I have with the other Christmas ones - lots of good ideas .

I got all my buys for the 5 planned pamper hampers out of the cupboard last night and sorted them out (listing as I went obviously!) to see what I still need to get to complete them.

Was pleasantly surprised that in fact I only need a few more bits & bobs (another list made!):T

Also ordered cello wrap, bows, ribbons & tissue from Flowerhour so feel I am doing really well with my plans.

When my children were young we used to laugh at my late Mum who would have all the Christmas presents bought and wrapped by September....! so I hesitate to tell my DD what I am up to as I just know she is going to say I have become my mother :rotfl:

if he likes his drink, you could get him one of those smellie sets that's got things in bottles that look like alcohol bottles? or you could just buy him some drink and a beer mat or pint glass? or even one of those breathalisers? (sp?)

as for the older one, maybe a book on tattoos? or even travel guides or things to use whilst travelling?
