Same here, I have still no idea what to get my youngest son - aged 21. He works in the outdoor sport industry so you think it would be so easy but he already has all of the specialist equipment and clothing he needs for every known land and water sport - canoeing, kayaking, walking, mountaining etc plus his foot ware and clothes are also specialised, some provided by work so he needs nothing. His car is only a few years old so he needs nothing for it. He got a new tablet in May so all his technology is up to date.

So far we have got 2 wheel trims for his car (actually he ordered those, we just picked them up) - they were only £12 and the only thing he really needed. I've got 2 magazine subscriptions, YHA membership and I've got to order a book and then there is a Gillet he asked me to wrap for Christmas.

I am at my wits end.

I'm notoriously hard to buy for as I have everything I want...unless you wanna buy me a bigger car/house!!;)

I have everything I need...clothes/toiletries/every thing all far cheaper than anyone else would get them for....so they have to ask what I want...

I would rather a trip/meal/experience than any material item....

I struggle to think of anything I want when people ask....so this year I have asked for horse riding lessons!:D


I have even given them the groupon link!!;):cool:

My DS buys magazines but I cant have anything delivered to his address , he gets parcels delivered here because the post letterboxes outside his flats don't lock and he doesn't want valuable stuff getting pinched.

He not into sports. Cant drive he did have lessons but was like me couldn't co ordinate his hands and feet :rotfl:

He got an iphone but doesn't want a tablet says they are a waste of money if you got phone and a notebook.

He does have a Playstation and a Nintendo WII but I don't know what games he got for them or needs.

Sure? They're Felix 'As Good as it Looks' and Felix 'Sensations' pouches (12x100g) £3.50 each in A and 2 for £6.00 T. But, the way things are looking at the moment, I'd be going for Felix Selection Pouches, same size and number, 12x100g, A £3.88 or 2 for £6 vs Sainsbobs 2 for £6.00. Might compare 2x3.88 vs 6.00

I have an unbelievably fussy cat savvy. He will only eat Felix AGAIL....and the wind has to be blowing in the right direction as well:rotfl:

Great idea

I keep looking at Groupon each day, often see possible things for my daughter who lives in a city but nothing for son who lives 10 miles from any civilisation so nothing suits him.
He also works odd hours and shifts so including him even in weekends away would be difficult. I did have the brainwave of booking a midweek break at centre parcs as its only 20 miles from where he lives but it would have to be very last minite so no good as a Christmas present - back to square one.
