    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.

    Thats a nice idea. Thanks.

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

    Do they do gig tickets?

    Bluetooth speaker so he can listen to the music off his phone, but through a decent speaker. The Bose mini soundlink is great, I have one & I love it.
    Vouchers for Steam, if he plays/downloads a lot of games through that.
    Festival tickets.
    Voucher for whichever clothes shop he prefers to shop at.
    Netflix voucher/account subscription.

    Just a few suggestions, good luck :)

    Good ideas there. Thinking about the bluetooth speaker.

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

    Why would you assume either party wants that or OP could afford it if they did :huh::huh:

    If he is a PC gamer does he have good gaming controllers - e.g. a gaming mouse with plenty of extra programmable buttons, a gaming keyboard, wireless headphones with microphone etc? Or a joystick if he plays things like aircraft or space-ship sims?

    So many good ideas there. He does have a lot of those things as he has bought them but I am not sure about all. Will have a look when he goes to work.

    I think we might go with the bluetooth speaker because he asked for speakers for his car a while ago but my husband said it would be too complicated to fit them.

    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?

    I might do something like this too.

    Some people just hate the fact that others might have it slightly easier than themselves.
