Can you give me an idea what you are giving your adult child/spouse? I have two daughters, both married. One couple will be with us at Christmas and one couple will be staying home (they live in New York) so I'll need to ship their present or have it delivered to them.
I'm always so good about coming up with great ideas and really enjoying shopping for presents but for some reason this year I'm stumped! I have several small presents and some stocking stuffers but I would like to come up with a larger "couples" present.
I know it's hard to come up with ideas when you don't know my kids but just wondering what everyone is getting theirs? 'Thought maybe that would give me some ideas! Thanks!

my adult kids aren't married but my DD21 is moving in with my DS30 right after Christmas. We got them a joint YUMS box subscription. She's also getting a bread machine and some smaller gifts. He's also getting a Stars Wars immersion blender and some smaller gifts. HTH

I was going to give them experiences (GC for different activities and restaurant). But I thought of a great idea for my new SIL, which is a personalized guitar strap. Engraved leather in an engraved box. Now I need to find something for dd.
Mine are liking board games a lot this year.

My DS and DIL are getting a $100 gift certificate for the purchase of beef/chicken/pork from a farm that raises & butchers their own meat (they like to cook). In addition there will be some stocking stuffers and each are getting a piece of clothing.

I got dd & sil a gc to their favorite restaurant so far.
They just had a baby and I’m looking for matching sports jersey’s or hiking attire for sil & gs
I made dd a Roman numeral bracelet with her birthday. I also made a recycled silver pendant that looks like a wax seal with baby’s initial. I may add a birthstone charm to that. I also got her stocking stuffer type stuff that her sisters are getting too.
I’d like to get them another family item too.

In addition there will be some stocking stuffers and each are getting a piece of clothing. We are giving our daughter and son-in-law a gift certificate (I’m thinking $100 to $150) to a local butcher shop. They have a teenage son and with the rising cost of groceries, I know they will appreciate it. We also got our SIL the beer and wine advent calendars from Costco. They will be traveling to Minnesota for the grandson’s hockey tournament in a couple of weeks (so it will be before Christmas), so we’ll also give them all gift cards (or cash) for some stores in the Mall of America. I have smaller gifts for Christmas Day. |

Not for everyone, but I got my YA nieces and their SOs Mickey Mouse waffle irons, and a bag of Carbon Golden Waffle Mix; the official waffle mix of the Disneyland Resort. It's both of my nieces favorite Disneyland food, and neither will be getting to go "Home" anytime soon.

We’ve done couple gifts for the sons and their wives for a couple of years now. I ask them to tell me what they want each year. We’ve gifted fire pits, mattresses, fancy Nespressos with coffee bars, dining table & chair sets, patio furniture, and more. I really like giving them one substantial gift that they really want.

Same here - appliances/le creuset pieces/dyson/weekend trips/vitamix/etc. I try not to just get random stuff they feel obligated to keep and store. |

I gave a waffle maker and that mix for a bridal shower recently. |

My Ds and DDIL asked for tickets to a football game, the tickets include the game and a pre-game tailgate party with open bar and food. I also threw in an uber gift card and I'll be watching the kids.
2nd DS and DDIL just completed renovating their family room, they sent links for a few different tables and lamps etc.. they'd like to complete the furnishings, so I picked something from that list.
