Hello, my now wife and I write each other a lot of notes. I recently found the first ever note I wrote to her and wanted to do something with it for the holidays. Obviously framing it, but do you have any other ideas? It is small, about 2.5 x 5 inches. TIA!!

Im looking for gift for gamer (pc). Under 125 dollars (can be used).

Looking for gift ideas for my friend. She has had one of the worst years imaginable so I'd like to get her something she will really love. Some things about her: she loves antiques, books, and art. She's also a big fan of Hozier and Taylor Swift. Anyone have any suggestions that aren't typical gifts (i.e. candles, mugs) I'd really appreciate it!

We're both 27 year old guys and I want to gift him something good but I don't know what. We've also known each other for 12 years. (I don't want to straight up give him cash, I'm not a fan of that)

She's currently into softball and wrestling. I am not into competitive sports at all. I was thinking she might appreciate something which helps with either/both?

I'm doing an angel tree and I've already bought something that matches his requests: metallica t shirt and basic hygiene supplies. I'd like to throw in something fun.. but I'm a girl and I have no idea what teenage boys like. Does anybody have ideas for something that might be universal for boys? (He is 14) Even if it's something silly, I'd like to surprise him with something just for fun.

My parents want to give me a big gift this year. They do this everytime christmas is in the yearly calender. I don't need anything big this year and I told them this, but they still would like to do it. They feel fustrated that I can't think of anything I'd like. My Christmas list is Mario & Luigi Brotherhood, Pikmin 1 + 2, and snow. I think thats a lot already.

I like the switch oled, but I know Nintendos releasing their next system next year.

Hi! I'm slowly chipping away at my holiday gift list, but I'm not sure what to get for my FIL, MIL, and husband's grandma.

We've been together since 2008, but I don't spend a whole lot of time with his family.

I know MIL likes: bath products, baking/ cooking, camping, the beach. (*She is newly diagnosed celiac, so I'm keeping my eyes out to make sure she can have certain things)

FIL likes: Pearl Jam, fishing, camping, beer (*very specific kinds of beer that I'm not certain of the brand/ type)

Grandma likes: purple, lemon, puzzles (* She's 91, and she doesn't really do much these days, and she has anything and everything you can think of. Genuinely not sure what to get her =/)

The problems plaguing me this year is that all three folks have everything, and buy themselves whatever they want when they want it. For whatever it's worth, my backup plan is to make handmade soap from scratch for all three of them.

Any ideas you guys can think of would be really helpful!

Im in desperate need of ideas for my boyfriend (22M)- its our first christmas together and Im feeling the pressure. He is from a far wealthier background than me, so all the usuals (wallet, belt, aftershave) I dont have the budget to comepete with what he already has, this also means he has almost everything he wants. He works in finance and has very high standards, he likes the finer things in life

I was looking for something sentimental / vintage as the price point is less of an issue. I know he has got me a very expensive ring so I can't compete there! Some background on his interests:

• rugby (supports a specific team and country- was considering a vintage jersey but im not sure if he already has one)
• he travels a lot both with work and culturally
• planes and recent military history
• eating and cooking steak
• work is obviously a big part of his life (investment banking)
• art history (perhaps a coffee table book? I dont know much about art but he has travelled to italy before just to see renaissance art if that helps)
• he mentioned he wanted to take skincare more seriously, he doesnt have a beard and shaves daily

Any help would be hugely appreciated

It needs to be an actual physical thing. Not interested in clothing or books. Would love if it educated somehow with crypto, trading, or blockchain in general. Extra great if has artistic flair.

So far, all I'm finding is some pretty low tier merch. Some hats and t-shirts.

Any ideas?

Maybe something a high school teacher could use in class when they get around to teaching it.

Hello! I am participating in one of those gift donations for a local children's home. I was given information for 2 17 year old boys, and I'm not sure what to give because I don't know what kids these days are into. They asked for gift cards too, which I will be giving already.

Kid 1: Bath and Body Works, Spiderman, Jewelry

Kid 2: Cologne, Legend of Zelda, music

I don't know what kind of scents kids this age would like, or what kind of jewelry. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I am bad at gift giving, so I like to get a bunch of one thing and give it to everyone. Last year, I got people the 2 Million Dollar Puzzle. There was a deal for buying in bulk. It was a unique, interesting, affordable gift. Not everyone loves puzzles, but everyone loves the chance to win money. Any ideas for something similar I can do this year?

She likes juicy couture obviously and always is wearing these pink Ugg boots but I'm not sure what else? We work in cosmetics at the mall if that matters.

My cousin has three daughters and I'm spending Christmas with them this year. I've only met the older two and it was five years ago. Now they're 14, 12, and 8. I'm not sure what they like and my cousin keeps telling me they like anything but not giving me any ideas when I ask her. What are good gift ideas for girls at those ages? I'm planning on spending about $100 each.

Hi all, looking for gift ideas for my 3 year old car-loving nephew. Budget is under $100 but willing to go higher for something special. Ideally car-related but not another Hot Wheels or toy car (he has plenty!). Last year, he got car brand flashcards, which he loved.

Note: He doesn’t watch TV, so he’s not familiar with Disney Cars or other TV characters.

My mom is only 40 years old. She has a pretty dark sense of humor and loves family time and adventures. She has been with my dad for 25 years, since they were 15! She doesn't care much about her physical appearance and wears comfortable clothing. She works as a homeschool art teacher. She has two kids, me and my younger sister. She enjoys massages and other things that make her feel comfortable and calm, because she is usually pretty stressed out. Any ideas for something nice to get her for the holidays?

I am providing gifts for a 12 year old girl for one of those provide Christmas for a kid charities, but whoever submitted her didn't provide much information - the gift and book wish lists say only "Age appropriate gifts" and "age appropriate books."

So any suggestions for gifts that have broad appeal amongst 12 year olds?

I'm buying a gift for someone who LOVES the backstreet boys. I thought about getting an impersonator band, for a private show, but was unfortunately out of my price range. Anyone have any ideas beyond just standard merch?

Got secret santa coming up soon. My person is interested in war (mainly europe ww2 i believe) and I think something related to war would be good for him but I'm not sure what to get. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello! I am hoping for some inspiration for a Christmas present for my boyfriend's father. My boyfriend's family does secret Santa for all the adults and I drew his dad. This is my first big holiday with his family. We've been dating for 15 months. I've met him a couple of times over the months and have gleaned the following;

•avid pickle ball player •life long surfer, beach volleyball player and snow sports enthusiast •father to 5 kids total, ages 18, 20, 34, 38, and 40 •grandfather to 1 with one on the way •religious, some denomination of Christianity •retired school teacher of over 40 years in the public school system of LA

I listed the budget we have to work with, technically it's only applicable to purchasing items. I could spend more procuring supplies if I decide to make something. I have a cricut machine and a 3D printer at my disposal. I've made things from coffee mugs, etched glasses, t-shirts, burned designed cutting boards, and ornaments.

Would love any ideas! We are road tripping to see them this year so I won't have to necessarily worry about shipping or flying with the gift. TIA!

It's getting to that time of year where I have to update my list and I don't know what to add. I enjoy video games like Minecraft and Factorio (I don't have a PC, but I do have a switch), programming, I play percussion in my school band, I play DND, and enjoy Rubik's cubes. I have no idea what to put on my list and any help would be appreciated.

Hey all! I'm hoping a sub like this attracts those who love to give gifts! I'm awful at picking them out....

My in-laws do a white elephant every year with the adults. Here's a bit of info about the group to help with ideas

1. Only about half of them drink, so not alcohol related.

2. All of the adults included have kids and families of their own.

3. They tend to like family game nights, goofy stuff, comforting/comfortable stuff

4. Some are gamers, some like family outings

5. Nothing with swear words. Kind of a mixed bag for them so I try to avoid it.

Any ideas?? Winners in the past included some sort of puzzle box (no idea what to put inside though) and a big overside blanket hoodie thing, a massager thing, and a terrarium.

I want to have the gift everyone is fighting over this year! Anyone have some ideas that are absolute winners?

THANK YOU!

Thanks all!!! I ended up making a game night bag for them ❤️

I have a boyfriend for the first time in my life and I want to get him something special, maybe goofy. He likes to cook and work with his hands. I was thinking a cookbook but I don’t know which one or a kitchen appliance but I don’t know which ones he already has. He is also a bit of a goofball so something funny would fit the bill. He likes coffee too

I'm looking for a present that a 12-year-old boy would be excited about getting without being expensive. His family is in hard times and will likely not be able to do much beyond what I'm planning on. That said, this kid is clever and has plenty of *stuff*. He is into Warhammer 40k, D&D, Minecraft, etc. But I don't want to veer into expensive electronics or more stuff that'll get lost on a shelf. He's also learning to code in Python and is on a competitive robotics team. What do?

Turns out every website I've tried does not do 360° wraps for the bottles. Many websites also want you to buy them by the hundreds.

Getting a custom made item that's as niche as a shaker is proving to be difficult. Please help!

And by picky, I mean... he just has limited interests and virtually no interest in material things for the most part. We're big travelers but most of my vacation time is accounted for next year already. I'm stuck.

He did make a request for a boudoir photoshoot but that is so far out of my comfort zone. I feel guilty for this but at the same time, I don't feel like this is something I can actually do for him.

I have two daughters that are 4 and 6 respectively. Nearly three years ago my aunt passed away after a long battle with cancer. She knew it was terminal for a while and would never meet her own grandchildren. My daughters were the closest she was ever going to have to grandchildren. She was a family centered person and loooooved babies. She really enjoyed buying stuff for my girls.

Fast forward to now and my cousin just announced he and his wife are expecting a baby girl next year. I saved every single dress/outfit my aunt bought my girls. After she died I put them all in a bag.

How do I give them to my cousin? I want it to feel like my aunt bought them for her own granddaughter, they just went to me first, you know? Do I just hand them the bag or do I do something special??

My cousins and I do a White Elephant exchange instead of real gifts every christmas. Looking for some ideas. Previous years have seen inflatable Santa suits, elf onesies, and shitbrown reindeer tracksuits. Any ideas welcome, the worse the better

I keep seeing so many wallets for "minimalists" which is great for them. But I'm a maximum-ist, i guess you would call it. I carry around numerous credit cards, gift cards, other cards etc. I also like to carry lots of cash. But I also am a guy and like to have a wallet that fits in my pocket. I currently have one that meets all this criteria but it's currently falling apart lol. If you know of any places to get a wallet like this let me know. Also bonus points if it has a spot for an air tag.
