My sister is wanting ideas on what to get my son for Christmas. It’s hard enough for myself to think of what a spoilt brat needs let alone what I could ask my sister to get him.

What’s everyone buying?

I went shopping for a bunch of kids 5 and under. Went with kmart and focused on books, anything art or craft and blowing bubbles.

 

They are usually a hit with the kids and parents and cost wise I was about $20 p/p.

It would help if we knew how old he is. Our son is 37 and, amongst other things, I have bought him a high-quality screwdriver set.

Good try $freitasmdaughter. You won't find out what we are giving you this year until you open the presents.

We bought an arts book she showed interest in, our dogs bought her some hair dye (she likes some red from time to time), plus clothes and other small things.

That's a cop-out and I seldom do that. Our son is into DIY (like me) and I know what he wants and needs - he's building up a good tool collection. There's a lot of pleasure to be had from giving someone something you'd really like yourself.

Parents - custom shirts from StickerMule
Daughter (10) - soap gift box from Lush + Jibbitz for Crocs
Partner - Palm Pals + either a steam iron or eBook reader
Son (2) - books with buttons that make animal noises + clothes

 

Food is the main focus for my family.

Teenager but will be good to hear what everyone is buying regardless of age just for ideas for others we’re buying for

It's good to know that pets buying presents is not peculiar to our household :)

Recently saw an ad on TV where a dog gave its master a throwing stick.

Then there's the old joke about giving son an iPhone, daughter an iPad and wife an iRon.

Dogs in our family always gave gifts to their humans. And not only their love.
