r/ChristmasGiftIdeas

My mom says that every December and every December I ignore her. Last year I got her a bamboo tray for the tub and a pair of wool socks, and she texted me a photo of the tub with the tray set up, which is the most excitement I've ever gotten out of her.

This year I'm leaning toward a bath set. There are a few under $60 on this page that look decent, but I'd rather hear what landed for you first. Anyone have a hard-to-buy-for parent gift that wasn't food? Idk if I'm overthinking it.

Every single year my dad says "don't waste money on me", and then looks a little hurt if his gift is just a gift card. Budget is around 50 bucks. He's in his 60s, has a garage full of tools he never uses, and has read every WWII book on the planet. What actually lands with guys like this?

Some people are so easy to shop for because they tell you exactly what they want.

Then there are people who say "anything is fine" and somehow that makes shopping ten times harder lol.

I've been thinking that maybe paying attention to the little things they mention throughout the year is better than waiting until December.

Has anyone actually kept a gift idea list throughout the year? Did it help?

We are doing secret santa and I ended up getting one of the few male coworkers I have. We are close, we talk all the time and I know what he liked but I feel lost on what to actually get him. Can anyone give me some ideas??

26 male, he loves star wars, anime, collects comic books and funko pops, enjoys watching movies and going to the movies, is kinda of introverted.. worst come to worst, I will just get him some kind of gift card but I wanted to get him something more personal (gift giving is my love language) and it’s a $30 limit
