I've been dating my boyfriend for half a year now and have become acquainted with most of his family by now, and I will be spending Christmas with them. So, obviously, I want to get them some gifts. Especially because they don't like me much due to how "quiet" I am to them + they literally bought my plane ticket (I'm not well off like them. But there's two issues: One I'm 17 and don't have a job yet, and have a little over a hundred to work with. I'm in desperate need of some way to make more money, all I know is I can technically mow lawns. However I'm very weak and it's a great pain to mow for me, and have only done it twice in my life lol. But I digress. Two I only have a rough idea of what to get them. Here's the knowledge I'm working with:

His (my bfs) mom: Loves gummies and random thrift finds, makes and sells shirt designs and the like. She's a real nice, funny and smart woman, unfortunately not coming for Christmas tho cause my bfs parents split long ago. His dad: cooking stuff (everything else he'd want would be wayyy expensive). Conservative guy that has a problem with how quiet I am, so I really need to find something good. His grandpa: loves trains (there's train themed stuff everywhere throughout his house), was a lawyer, likes phantom of the opera. Real nice guy, I like him a lot. His grandma: loves chocolate, has mocha coffee every morning. I like her a lot too. His aunt: loves dried banana, Hawailan goods, likes to sew and bake, has an adorable dog. It should be noted she's vegan and lactose intolerant. I love her a lot, she's probably my favorite of my bfs family. Then there's the aunts son in law I met who's really cool and also the father to my bfs 5 year old niece (who I have heard is adorable). Not sure what to get them two, or if I'm even obligated to.

I can draw pretty well so I'm definitely going to use that. Besides that I have basically no other skills to work with here. Any ideas?

$25 minimum. All genders, aged 14-45. Do you think I could be a contender to win? Can I make this better in any way? Bottom is filled with tons of smaller candy. Pretzels, mixed fruit and nuts, and peppermint bark in the back. Small candle in the front.

I’m trying to find some gift ideas for my family friends who are expecting a baby + newly engaged. I’m trying to get them something they both could use that is under $60 CAD

Also don’t know what to get my brother, he’s in his 40s, enjoys video games, working out, and has a mini bar in his house

Any help would be appreciated <3

So I work in a small, close knit department and we are doing a white elephant type gift exchange. Price point is not above $50. I would ideally like to get something that is fun/funny, unique, and possibly custom but that is not a necessity. If it helps, I have access to everyone’s professional headshots so maybe there’s something there? I don’t know, I’m open to anything! And we work in healthcare so dark funny is acceptable.

As the title says, I am seeking a gift for my wonderful older brother. He does not believe in Christmas lists, so I'm on my own. In this quest, I have reached a huge mental idea block; I only have til the 28th.

He is a mechanic, works with tractors, and likes the outdoorsy stuff. He just buys everything he wants...so it's not like there's something simple. He likes whiskey but I feel like just getting him a bottle is a cop-out. Any advice is welcome.

Thanks :)

Hey everyone! I was looking for some advice, I started an internship 7 weeks ago my supervisor (a professor) graciously took me without even needing a intern because my other professor could not secure me a spot in time. With this, I have worked closely and gotten to know my supervisor and wanted to buy her a little gift (I got a travel coffee mug and a specialty coffee from a local shop) but it is weird giving her this? I don’t want to make her uncomfortable but just wanted to give her a little something to show my appreciation + with Christmas being this month.

Hi everyone!! I’m shopping for holiday gifts for my significant other (25M)

Loves the sopranos

That’s kinda it lol he also works in sales if there’s any fun little gifts to add.

Budget is $300-400!

Hello, for one of my boyfriends smaller gifts, I wanted to do a protein/gym food gift bag type of situation for him. He'll be going to the gym more soon.

I got these protein pack things for smoothies from a brand called BlendJet but that’s all I’ve gotten so far and I have no idea what else to add.

Maybe a personal blender? But I’m not sure what’s a good brand. If anyone works out, what are some things you would want in a gift?

My fabulous co teacher is turning 30. She’s fashion forward, was a cheerleader in college and has a lot of positive energy. She’s also very religious so doesn’t drink. Her family has been going through a hard time and would like to get her something nice but cap it at $75. Any ideas? Thinking of nice body lotions and maybe a manicure gift card?

My brother (21) is ridiculously hard to buy gifts for. I would love to surprise him with a fun christmas gift but i'm all out of inspiration. He has a very active lifestyle: he's big into sports (especially swimming), has a super active social life and generally doesn't spend a whole lot of time at home. When he is home he just watches youtube or netflix and occasionally plays something on his playstation. At some point he discovered legos, which is all i've bought for him for the last two years, but he doesn't want any more because of the clutter. He's liked cozy gifts like fuzzy socks or heated blankets in the past but he doesn't need anything on that front right now either. He's not really a creative person so i don't imagine he'd enjoy anything artsy. He doesn't read either. I'm just stumped on what to get him.

To summarize what i think he'd like:

• something practical. Maybe for sports?
• something he can do with his friends. I've thought of a board game but i don't know which one he'd like. He's not much into geeky stuff but he enjoys monopoly, for instance.

Any suggestions at all would be appreciated!

I am looking for Christmas gift ideas for newlyweds (M/F) who are moving from the US to Sydney, Australia for a year. I understand they do not want to haul much with them, and I would love if they could use said gift(s) while they are in Australia. The couple is late 30s/early 40s, active and adventurous. It is ok if I buy each a separate gift, and I am also open to gifting experiences. My total budget is US $500.

Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks so much in advance!

Any help would be appreciated. The teen in question is a male but that’s all I know about him. We don’t work together. It can be fun and or funny. Budget is 20 to 30.

My BF is so sweet but he doesn't like me spending money on him. He shoots down every gift idea. He has his own place but we spend 99% of the time at mine so getting kitchen/home stuff doesn't make sense. He does not want clothes. Not a drinker or foodie. All his hobbies are doing things with stuff he already has like photography, basketball, and hiking. Men, if someone gave you $250 to spend on something fun or dumb, what would you buy yourself?

My grandaughter is 5 months old and i am wondering what and if you do stockings for them. if so what should I put in it

Our elementary principal has truly been life-changing to my sons and our family. She is taking a principalship in another system. What is a thoughtful, personalized gift?

Being a teacher, I often get small denomination gift cards from students at the holidays. I love those Starbucks cards, don't get me wrong. BUT, when family members take, (what I think), is the easy way out and give me a $50 Amazon gift card, I hate it. What am I gonna do, buy more TP? I would understand if I were young and had no money and needed life basics.

Really, I'd rather have something unexpected, handmade, from a craft show, or just some nice lotion or personal care products that I normally wouldn't treat myself to. Everyone else in my family just wants the gift card... Anyway, I'm not looking for a solution, I'll continue to give my SIL cute Betsey Johnson fingerless gloves that she can flip on eBay LOL.

me and him have been friends for awhile now and we’re both each others closest friend! he’s kind of a complicated guy but the sweetest ever. it’s so hard buying him gifts because i went all out for his birthday and now i’m burnt out of gift ideas. for example i bought him JPG cologne, vbucks gift cards, plushes that looked/reminded me of him, pochacco keychain, snoopy journal, snoopy blanket, chikawa keychain, pokémon socks, and i made some roses out of ribbon. he likes anime, specifically vinland saga, mha, hxh, black clover, berserk, seven deadly sins, yk regular shounen. he’s also a big gym guy but recently got a back injury so he can’t do a lot of workouts but he’s super into the gym. he loves preworkout and i’ve bought him a gym shirt already. he likes pokémon and pochacco and snoopy too! he loves canes and eating out but always counts his nutritions. i want to get him a few articles of clothing but i have no idea what size he is because he’s quite muscular. please please please help!!

I'm looking to get my sister something for her 32nd birthday. She just became a mother so maybe something centered around that? Thanks

My bestie is having her tubes removed. She's single and won't have family taking care of her.

I thought it'd be fun to mail her a funny care package like you see wives giving men after a vasectomy ... You know the ones, Swedish fish since he won't have swimmers, something with "nuts," etc. But I can't think of a single funny pun for this. The MOST I can think of is something "eggs?" But Cadbury eggs won't be on the shelves for months (and Cadbury ornament bulbs aren't eggs).

Also Pinterest is all sponsored results or chemo care packages. HELP!

Hi all,

I signed up for the giving tree fundraiser my work is doing, and I am assigned two girls, one is 12 years old and the other girl is 13 years old. I’m in my late 20s and have no idea what girls that age are into nowadays so I was hoping for some suggestions from anyone who has family or friends in that age range. I can probably find some stuff at a store young girls would be into, but I also want to consider these are low income families and didn’t know if there are good gifts that are still fun for them to open up but also could be useful in their life. Or maybe I can get them a little bit of both. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Help—it’s my bestfriends birthday in a few weeks and I need a gift. We have been in a fight for awhile now but I’m not going to not give a gift just to spite them, I still want them to feel loved and celebrated. I thought something funny might get a smile out of them even if I don’t get to see it personally. Any ideas on what I can get?

I will be meeting my friend's family in Botswana for the first time. It's a large family, I'm only bringing a carry on suitcase, but I'd like to bring something for the home that everyone can enjoy. I'd like it to be somewhat representative of the US (I live in the midwest). I saw some great Native Artwork from Eighth Generation. Any other ideas?

I have a 16 year old brother. He’s started making music, and while I think SoundCloud rap is weird and cringey, I support my brother, and the songs he showed me were genuinely really good. He’s getting a mic and headset from someone else. What can I get him for Christmas to help support him? My budget is around $30.

My husband is a connoisseur of goofy ass tshirts (ex: picture of a hammer w/ THIS IS NOT A DRILL). I used to get him tees from threadless.com, but like 5 yrs ago their quality plummeted: the image on a "no sleep til Brooklyn" tee came off in the wash in like 6 mos!

Etsy is a real crapshoot in terms of quality, aside from a few sellers I've grown to trust but I've kinda exhausted their inventory now. Where do you get goofy tshirts for dudes ? Think dad jokes/visual puns, animals doing things they usually do not (another favorite is a raccoon riding a bike). XL+ appreciated -- dude is built like a brick lol

We want to spend $50-$75 on each unless we're going in with other siblings.

Mother-in-law: Loves family time, Broadway and theater, Mah-jong, being a grandma (though her grandkids are not our kids), and clothes/accessories

Father-in-law: Loves reading political/historical nonfiction classic sci-fi/watching classic sci-fi movies but is particular about his likes, loves pizza and cooking, loves electronics and tinkering with them

Both like going out to dinner, spending time with friends, going to see Broadway shows

I'm kinda tired of getting people hyper-specific gifts to their interests because I find those are not really as liked or beloved. Like, I don't think my mother-in-law would really want a blanket with Broadway shows on it or like a mug with mah-jong tiles on it. Also can't get her tickets to a show because she belongs to a discount club and gets them much more discounted than we ever would. Father-in-law isn't really a gift-y person and never knows what to ask for.

Things we have gotten them in the past that they love:

Mother-in-law: a photo puzzle of all of her kids, coasters from the place we go on vacation every year, a subscription to the Broadway theater streaming service.

Father-in-law: a pizza stone, an Amazon Echo Dot, a copy of Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow

Together: All the kids surprised them with tickets to see Phantom on the West End when they visited London

Things we have gotten them that weren't really hits:

Mother-in-law: a whimsical Hanukkah sweatshirt, a robe

Father-in-law: Cookbooks, coffee table book about classic sci-fi movies

Hi everyone. I am a nurse and want to make some cute bags up for the 5 nurses at my office. I need some ideas for what I can put in their gift bags. I already have 5 sets of fuzzy Christmas socks & candy. But want to do something cute that isn’t medical themed. Does anyone have something maybe unique I could add? Since I have to buy 5 of everything each item can’t be too pricey.

My boyfriend is a garage loving, typical guy who doesn’t really have hobbies. Last year I got him a helmet for his four wheeler. I have a few clothes for him this year but I don’t want to just get him that.

My mom also doesn’t really have many hobbies. She’s not your typical mom, isn’t girly girly, doesn’t cook or do typical mom things.

My dad has very few hobbies except his motorcycle, but he has everything for that. He’s not into video games or anything like that. Overall he’s hard to shop for.

Any suggestions? Also, I’m a university student so a budget of around $100 per person
