• Do places like Dominoes/pizza hut/Starbucks/Costa etc. do gift cards - if he drinks coffee/likes takeouts? Disguise inside a Christmas cracker...(used to do this with phone top up cards for nieces/nephews)
• A nice blokey thermos travel type mug to use at work?
• A kindle or affordable tablet with larger screen than the phone for when away from home & nowhere near his fancy pc.
• Netflix/kindle/audible or amazon video subscription to use on pc/phone/tablet
• I think some of the big ticket agencies do gift cards/vouchers so you don't book a specific event; just £xx available for when he does want to see something. Probably download a voucher but at least you could print it out & disguise in a box...
• sachets of cuppa soup/noodly thingies & a big microwavable mug for work?
• chocolate sprouts (lidl)
• Oxfam goats or similar so someone gets something somewhere...
• tiny Bluetooth speaker for the car?
• Bluetooth shower speaker?
• bitcoins (actually no idea why/how/what...)

You have my utmost sympathy with finding ideas...:)

Some really excellent ideas there thank you. He does drink a lot of takeaway coffee when he has finished work, sits in the car and eats when he has his break so the thermos might be an idea. As are the others

Just ask him what he'd like.
It's not like he still believes in Santa Claus......

A house deposit so he can move out?

How about sky diving experience?

A track day?

A guitar lesson with a pro?

Get him a decent sized gift bag with his favourite chocolate and/or sweets and some Starbucks coffee sachets you can make at home, some socks and maybe an Amazon voucher or something inside?

Ask him.

Make up a pot of gold (large coffee jar or plant pot sprayed gold with gold wrapped sweets, such as Ferrero Rochas, mini crunchies, Werthers, chocolate coins), some £1 and £2 coins, a couple of Xmas scratch cards, a gift card for favourite restaurants/coffee shops, gold coloured pen and wrap in sellophane/gold paper and ribbon......

I haven't done one this year but writing that has inspired me too!



There used to be lots of photos on here from previous years but I can't find them.

Echo the others who say offer him money towards a house deposit. He seems to be doing OK living off you and your husband...

"He is 28 and lives at home." Don't most people live at home?

Ticketmaster definitely do gift cards- mum bought one for a friend of hers. They sell them in Clinton’s.

The Book of Everyone is great but hardly a gift i'd buy for a game playing 28 year old. Once read, it will sit gathering dust on a shelf. I'd give him gig vouchers if thats what he likes to do. Craft beer might be an idea, the unusual stuff though, not bog standard beer. It's all very trendy at the moment. A huge bag of all his favourite things is a good idea too.
