Share your gift ideas, because I am a bit stumped.
I don’t know, I’m in here to scope ideas.
Dad - a planer and bacon of the month club. Mom - athletic clothes and reservations for afternoon tea. I’m also buying tickets to an escape room for all of us to do together. Trying to give fewer gifts and spend more on activities that will bring us all together
This is what my wife and I do. We don’t buy presents. We go do an experience together!
I’m getting my mom a rowing machine because she wants one to help her exercise more. I’m getting my SO a Chromebook because his old one is like 7 years old now.
Colouring books! The wife, mother, and mother-in-law all find it therapeutic so they get that. Father and father-IL get booze. Brother gets a happy Xmas text as we stopped exchanging gifts years ago.
The joy of my presence.

Yeah that’s all I can afford this year !
If you’re crowdsourcing gift ideas, you’re already losing. Gifts should be personal.
No reason you can’t look for some inspiration.
I found plantable paper stars/snowflakes that can be used as gift tags or tree ornaments. The paper contains wildflower seeds so you can plant this paper star into the ground in spring and it will sprout flowers.
Socks because most people like socks.
Socks, fucking shit loads of socks, I had 42 pairs arrive the other day. I have a weird thing for socks (no not like that) and have bought everyone a pack of my favourite socks that don’t seem to ever die (I have a 12year old pack that are still in great condition despite wearing them regularly).
Everyone gets a 5pack of my favourite, 1 pair of merino wool socks, and a box of sweets or chocolate depending on their taste.
Except for the children, they get toys and games too.
It’s clichéd as fuck, but made my life easier and we all prefer focusing on the kids as it’s their day really.
I too am an avid sock wearer…
Omg I would love a gift like that! What is this mythical brand of socks?
It’s ueither but specifically ueither with horizontal patterns, any intricate designs don’t last as long.
I bought a pack of 5 while at uni in 2011 and they’re still going strong today, I have 10 others since then which are as good, but the one time I bought picture designs rather than straightforward stripes they lasted maybe 3-4 years, which still isn’t horrible tbf.
There’s nothing particularly special about them, they’re 80% cotton, 17% polyester, 3% elastane. They just seem to last forever and feel great.
Awesome, thank you for the recommendations and the heads up! I’ll definitely have to try some. Lately all my socks have been springing holes, so I’m excited to try some more durable ones
I just googled them and the first thing that pops up is their Amazon page saying they are a clothing company founded in 2016…
Potentially acquired the company I bought the first socks from at some point then. I found the exact socks I’d bought years later and ordered more pairs, might just be idemtical patterns and still good quality but the first set I had were definitely at university, which I graduated in 2012.

Electric toothbrush
Bathing salts, a chair cushion, a calendar, a cooking book, slippers and some chocolate.
It all sounds random but what makes them good presents is that I have reason to believe my family actually wants those things.
That said, I think next time I’ll be giving less thought into it because apparently half my family would like to stop with the presents cause they feel like they don’t need more shit and also don’t like being obligated to buy stuff for other people. Fair enough, but if it’s small things I still like gifting stuff.
My family asked for a pocket knife, guitar strings and picks, a pastry blender, shoe trees and shoe care items, and a hammock.
Pocket knives are a nice gift all around!
We stopped doing gift exchanges. We were just getting things we didn’t want. Ymmv, that doesn’t work in all families.
Sharing in a peanut butter pie from Costco would be a nice gift.
In the parking lot of course
Where else would one eat pie?!
Just bring your own fork this time. I’m not sharing again.
y’all can borrow my basement if it’s too hot outside.
Thanks bro, that’s real nice of you
I saw that post too!

I did not realize you were made of money! 🤑🤑🤑
I looked up how much that would cost out of curiosity and it really fluctuates based on where you live apparently. $1500-$50000
I live in Colorado, so generally some unusual form of weed for those who enjoy that. A dispensary near me has THC chocolate truffles, those usually go over well.
