FabSwingers.com forum: Christmas present ideas.

By (user no longer on site) OP

As it is getting towards that part of the year and let’s be right it has been a shitty one for lots of people, I thought it would be a good idea to help people shop. As shopping is also kind of difficult right now without doing the majority online.

So this threads intention is to share ideas with others nice present suggestions for people that are struggling. As you can’t buy all of lovehoneys stock as a present, or at least those presents have to be opened in private ha.

But yeah hopefully it can be useful, as sometimes perfume or aftershave is an easy option but sometimes it’s the little things.

I will actually add some suggestions to it, I just am pretty tired. So hopefully people will kindly add to it.

Photo books are a good idea or a photo calendar to give loved ones. You can do them via apps and some of them are very reasonable.

For those who would appreciate gifts in the generic smellies category (proceed with caution) a good quality hand cream has got to be a godsend this year. So much dermatitis

I have seen some cool advent calendars that have a different whisky/gin/book a day. Which obviously is last minute but kind of cool.

Socks. I welcome socks. I also prefer wine to chocolates.

The adult advent calendars are definitely interesting ideas.

Could do a magazine subscription. If you can’t afford a yearly subscription they do 6 monthly ones.

Or could subscribe to a beautybox subscription for them, different priced ones out there to choose from.

Could also do a “love” hamper. Buy a few of their favourite things, be it a bottle of wine, a tub of Pringles and a star bar and their favourite biscuits or something. Get (or make) a thinking of you card, and write them a really nice chatty message.

Sock lovers and/or those who feel the cold: Heat Holders. Discovered them when I was in an orthopaedic boot in bloody February and wore them on my other leg so I didn't freeze

We do that kind of thing ! It shows your really thinking of them and doesn’t cost much at all.

When the kids were little and we had no money we used to make all the in laws presents as a project. Tray of small glass jars from eBay, (or just use all your GU cheese cake pots now!), tea lights, glass paint, small drawstring bags, lavender out the garden, hand made cards, homemade bath bombs, tissue paper, ribbon, proper little production line, we were Etsy before it was a thing!!!

nice notebooks. Lovely pens. Small amounts of very expensive chocolates. Tiny luxuries that the person wouldn't buy themselves. Seeds for gardeners. Vouchers from beauticians and hairdressers for people who don't always have enough money to afford them.

Gorgeous socks and lovely stockings.

I have chosen to buy personalised books for my son & the little ones in the family. Perfume, Clothing, personalised Wine glass, Vase, Cushion etc. Miniature Alcoholic gift sets, foot spa, massage gun etc. (For The Adults)

It is a never ending list; too many people to think about. Not enough time, not enough funds.

Depends what they like.

I'm a crocheter, so yarn or a voucher for an online yarn store would be awesome.

If they like their drink, mini bottles of spirits, mixers and bar snacks? Or cheese and wine?

I like making a little hamper individual to them if they like cheese you could put a few different ones in some biscuits doesn’t have to cost a fortune just a nice thoughtful gift

You could do similar with Beer or Chocolate I’ve also done one before for someone who was interested in baking a new cookbook and some baking ingredients and utensils
