I was thinking a new pair of Christmas pj's, some hot chocolate packs, extra marshmallows, candy, popcorn, a coloring book and some Crayons. If you typically make one of these for your kids what do you put in it? My daughter is 8 years old btw. I also got her a big pack of bath slime soap for her bday so I was thinking about adding one of those in. Any other cool little things I could add?

Does anyone know where I can get an indoor hose? I plan on gifting this to my grandma since she lives in an apartment and has plants.

Hi! So I’m taking my sister on a surprise vacation to Iceland next May!

For Christmas I’d like to gift her something small that would serve as a clue, BUT I don’t want it to be super obvious!

I’d appreciate any ideas. I’d prefer to abstain from food items as she has many dietary restrictions.

Snag yourself some gifts while gifting in return! I have a opportunity for a tiny piece of land and I'm jumping for it as long as I can raise the fund ASAP! I have a album on my FB page with handcrafted items on sale, I would be very grateful for a share or comment to bump it. ❤️ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18NmVXRMGq/

My husband loves magic the gathering but I don’t know a ton about the game. I want to get him something he will like but I don’t know enough to get good cards. He has a billion dice and a few play mats. I made him an mtg dice bag a few years ago. He also doesn’t like “practical” gifts like shirts.

He does play online and is working on putting together a cube.

So does anyone have any suggestions for a guy who loves magic but seems to have everything?

My job is super laid back and we’re doing a secret Santa at work. I was assigned my coworker, Sokka, and I want to get something that isn’t super lame or tacky. But also if it’s super out there and gag gift/funny, that’s great too! The budget is $20.

About Sokka: surfer dude, loves the outdoors, rock climbing, and reading. Also likes cats and is known for his hair and tattoos. There’s an inside joke about fairies amongst all of us so I dunno! Do your worst/best

White elephant

So my work (vet clinic) is have a Christmas party. We are doing a white elephant this year. My manager said it has to be a “useful” gift but I know some people wanted gag gifts to be included. Anything I can get that’s a gag/ funny gift but still technically “useful”? It’s supposed to be max $30

I drew my brother’s partners name for Secret Santa this year, I don’t know him well enough but I know that he’s into poetry. What would an ideal gift be for a poet? Budget $100 and under. Also based in Australia! I’ve left this to last minute and don’t have time to order online 😅.

I am undergoing a full mouth restoration that has required six surgeries and countless additional visits to my oral surgeon this year.

I feel so grateful for the kindness and care that the whole office has shown me (from the surgeon to the receptionist).I want to give them something for the holidays to express my gratitude. There's 7 people on staff.

Ordinarily I would make baked goods but I'm not sure if that is gauche (because of the oral health and all). I'd greatly appreciate any ideas!

Hi All-

I have three SIL’s on my husbands side (two are 45+ and one is closer to my age, late 30’s). I love them. They’ve joked several times that their brother married me so that they could keep me. They’re my people.

That said, they are the HARDEST people to buy Christmas gifts for. They are all so thoughtful and I struggle every year. We call each other the Sister Coven. We get together every Halloween to watch Practical Magic and every Christmas for “witchmas” to exchange gifts. We even have matching witchy tattoos. This years gathering is on 12/8 because by Christmas I’ll be 100 weeks pregnant with baby #2.

We typically keep the gifts similar (ie we get each one the same thing but will change up the print or color). But I’m horribly stumped for this year. I don’t have a huge budget (maybe $40 per sister) because again, pregnant.

Things I’ve done in the past: —cute cauldron mug with tea, a crystal and a framed photo of us in witch hats —my fave sunglasses brand had a great sale, so every one got fun frames and a candle

Help for this year? I’m off all next week, so even driving around to find stuff is an option, doesn’t need to be something I order online.

Please and thank you in advance!!

Me, my mom and my stepdad celebrate Christmas just the three of us and we get each other gifts.

This year I am giving my mom a jellycat sun keychain amongst other things cause it suits her, it’s soft+cute and she can take it with her. I wanted to give my stepdad one as well since jellycat has some very nice bird and sealife plushies that would definitely have one that would suit his interests. But i’m wondering if I should get him one or not.

Because I like plushies because they’re cute/soft, you can sleep with them and display them. I know not everyone is that into plushies but it reminds me of that thing where they say men usually only get flowers when they’re in the grave… And I wouldn’t want to refrain of giving him something really nice like I would give my mom this Christmas.

He’s into barbecuing, cars, photography and cycling sports. Although he only really keeps up with barbecuing and watching sports 😂

This year I’ll be giving him a perfume, a candle he likes, a restaurant coupon, a tom odell cd and a bag for his lunch and stuff from the railways. I’ve thought about more creative stuff like a little model car/motorcycle to assemble, Lego’s, a bird identification book or something to wear.

So long story short, even if you were not into buying collectible* stuff for yourself would you appreciate a plushie as a gift that matches your interests? Like your favorite animal or thing you really like?

Thanks!

*collectible like funko pops, Pokémon cards, comics, model cars or plushies.

So I need help getting a Christmas present for my step dad. Problem # 1 is that he has expensive taste & my budget is like $40.

He’s pretty active & likes certain sports teams (I’ve gotten him memorabilia from his fav teams in the past but I feel like that’s all he ever gets).

Problem # 2 is that he flies to my town for Christmas so I can’t get anything that would be too difficult for him to travel with.

Experience wise, I can’t think of anything I could get him that he would actually like, it would also be difficult to do because we don’t live in the same area.

He doesn’t really read or like art, has very particular dietary restrictions, and him & my mom want for nothing. He has a home office, so maybe there’s some office stuff I could get him? He also jogs, aside from that I can’t think of any hobbies he has or anything he collects.

Any and all suggestions welcome!

Hello reddit gift givers! My mom is impossible to shop for. She isn't one for sentimental gifts, doesn't have a lot of hobbies or special interests, isn't into the typical girly/feminine stuff (hair/makeup/jewelry/clothes). She's pretty practical, but that resorts to me getting her the same couple things every year (gloves, slippers, cookware). As the eldest daughter who pulls the weight, I'm completely burnt out of ideas. Any suggestions and ideas are greatly appreciated.

My budget is fairly low (but I can work it!) but I’m going to do what I can here! I keep asking for ideas and I get “I’m good I’m good “ I need to get him something! I was thinking an experience or mini get away or something! He’s a sports memorabilia collector so I found a list of cards he still needs which I’m looking into but I’m hitting a dead end on things and I know he’s been getting me stuff! He’s a giver and loves gifting and I can’t get him crap! He’s in his early 40s. Our relationship is fairly new but we just moved in together. We’re both parents as well! Help me please!!!

Hello! We are recently recovering from being homeless. Last Christmas I was able to get gifts for my son that he wanted, headphones and Google play gift cards. This year, we have our home but almost everything we make is spent on rent and utilities. I'm at a loss at what to get him this year that I can actually afford that he would want. Any ideas? Thank you

I don’t know anything about great towels and am looking for suggestions. Thank you in advance.

One of the best ways to nail gifts for someone is to listen (and write down) what they say they want. So this is a reminder to tune in now if you haven't been already!

For ex: brother mentions in passing that he's thought about getting into beer-making? Write it down! A beer-making kit would be a great gift. Your girlfriend eyes a specific lipstick when you're at the store together? Write down the brand name/color and come back for it later!

I was invited to a party where they will hang up a stocking for every person who walks in the door. They are expecting at least 50 people. There will about 40 adults and about 10 kids. The adults drink, smoke, and party hearty. The kids are all under age 12. Some people bring 50 candy bars, some bring 50 scratch tickets, others bring 50 fidget toys. I know I'll need to buy a little extra in case the ratio of adult to child is a little off or there's extra people coming. Can you help me think of something that won't break the bank but would still be appreciated by such a diverse group of folks?

Every year the struggle is real! What do you buy the person who has everything and if they don’t have it they can just buy it?

Only items on my list right now are llbean dress shirt, heated socks, protein powder, and retainer container that cleans.

He is an ultra runner, diy project guy, enjoys cross country skiing and downhill, xbiking, fly fishing, likes quality stuff, constantly buys items on last hunt 🤪 and enjoys vintage decor

Help 🫣 ideally items that fit into a stocking! We have only ever done stockings for each other (they’re decently big), and thankfully this helps cut down on some of the stress!

His bday is beginning of December and got him some really nice shaving cream etc

My boyfriends roommates are very gracious in letting me stay over quite a bit and sharing their space with me. I got one of them a personalized crewneck with pictures of his cat all over it but I'm not sure what to get for the other roommate, who admittedly is my favorite of the two by far so I'd like to get him something good.

Think nice stylish guy in his mid-late 20s. He is a graphic designer with good style from Boston who loves consuming all Barstool sports media and thinks the Costco Boys and the Rizzler are hilarious. He's super Irish and visits his family in Ireland often. He's single but very independent in general. Loves to wake up on the weekends and go for long walks and get good coffee at new shops.

I have no idea what to get him. Last year I got him some air fryer liners, which I'll do again because he uses the airfryer most nights and blew through them all, and a robe that matched his comforter, that i've never really seen him use so must've not hit the vibe there.

Any and all help appreciated, thank you so much!!!

My mother is facing surgery for an open fracture on her wrist. Would be some suggestions for a care package since she is 68/

He likes: dogs (specifically his dogs), smoking meat/grilling, cars.

He doesn’t drink or smoke and I feel like most gifts I see “for dad” have to do with that.

Pls help!

Help!! My boyfriend and I want to start doing stockings for each other for Christmas! Great! But what do I get for it !? All I can think is some socks and underwear, some snacks, scratch offs.

He doesn’t have any special interests or hobbies really, just works (retail so hand warmers, new work clothes, etc.) aren’t an option. He doesn’t game. I thought about getting him a cart and adding that in too because he is a smoker.

Any other ideas that are relatively cheap and will work for anyone despite their hobbies and interests?

Hi all,

Recently discovered this sub, and really enjoying it. I am looking for gift ideas for my husband for our 7th wedding anniversary next month. This year has been a lot for us as we welcomed our precious baby girl and he has been an absolutely wonderful father, balancing work and fatherhood. Therefore, he’s been doing a lot so I really want this year to be special. He really is not a material person, so I am thinking along the lines of something sentimental. A few things about him:

1. He spends most of his time at work, he’s in the tech sector and enjoys his job. Does Homeoffice as well half the week
2. He enjoys fishing, but since baby arrived he hasn’t gone as it takes a whole day away from hs
3. He enjoys hiking, but again hasn’t done it quite some time now and probably won’t in winter

It’s really difficult to buy him presents, as he really isn’t into material things. He likes nice clothes, but I’ve bought too many for him at this point (and not all clothes fit his body type, I really have to go to a few brands that work)

Open to all ideas and suggestions, preferably under 200 euros.

Hi all! I need help getting a gift for my mother, she's 60, and very very fussy She likes dogs and horses, reading. Has a kindle, doesn't need anything for either animals and doesn't need any gear for the hobbies either. She doesn't wear makeup, jewelry or purfumes. Has told me she doesn't want any smellies really this year.

Got her a afternoon tea for us both last year that she enjoyed. But joint activities for both of us have to be fairly accessible as we both have mobility issues too.

Please help, I adore my mum and I'm so frustrated I haven't got her a big good gift this year!

Shopping for an impossible person I’m just getting to know. I’m looking for something 9”x12”-ish or larger but not gigantic.

Doesn’t need a frame as long as it’s a normal size, I can find and buy a frame myself. I work in shipping and don’t trust that it would make it in one piece. However, if you have a rec for a framed one I’d be willing to spend up to $150 but the package would need to be solid and no issues with returns if the product is damaged.

A digital ‘painting’ works for me but I don’t want something I have to print myself, I just don’t have the extra time to worry about quality.

My older sister, in her 50s, travels a lot and has a small home. On top of that, she is very discerning about what items she purchases. She has everything she needs for her travels, and no room or desire for “stuff.” I’m visiting her for Christmas so would like something that would fit in a carryon. I considered Diptyque hand soap but then I’d have to check my bag. She’s also sensitive to some chemicals and scents, so… She loves to cook but already has fancy spices. Suggestions appreciated!

need something under those guidelines and under like $40 it’s for my sister and really don’t know what out there she would like
