Sack of potatoes, parsnips, carrots (can get them in bulk sacks from most veg markets.) (for both traditional and home made soups)
Tubs to freeze these things/labels/sharpies

It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?
Please consider buying some pet food and giving it to your local food bank collection or animal charity. Animals aren't to blame for the cost of living crisis.0 -
Depends on how much you want to spend but a subscription / or even just a copy of good food magazine? You tend to get various freebies with subscriptions etc.
A recipe book / folder for them to collate their recipes in? - Paperchase did them and Sainsburys did them over xmas but you could just get a really nice hardback notebook and pen.
A tangine pot for brother if he likes making currys.
