<p>I have grown sons who are 25,28 and 32 years old. I desperately need Christmas gift ideas. Any and all. Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>I have never met a guy that did not like electronic devices.</p>
<p>tickets to something they like?</p>
<p>You have to give us more to go on. What do they do in their spare time?</p>
<p>I ask mine for wish lists and go with something on those.</p>
<p>Do they live near enough to do errands for? My son loves it when I do his errands for him.</p>
<p>Multi-tools (Swiss army knives but made by Leatherman).</p>
<p>Books about a special interest (my son loves books about octopuses).</p>
<p>Soft sweaters that their girlfriends will find huggable. (I get my son the Lands End fleece pullovers–his GF loves them.)</p>
<p>Folks have heard this before. It was given to our son for
Christmas two years ago when he was 26. I bought a nice wallet, and put six gift cards in the wallet to places I knew he frequented. I also put some cash in the cash section. It was a very well liked gift, and useful too.</p>
<p>I have never met a guy that did not like electronic devices.>>>>>>>></p>
<p>Be more specific. : )
I have been left behind in the cyber dust.</p>
<p>What is the budget? Electronic devices can be music players, ereaders, tablets …</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat with S1. He’s grown, lives with his fiancee and works at Microsoft. Anything he needs, he gets for himself. Should I get something for the two of them, something for each, or just send their cat a nice gift?</p>
<p>My D loves gift cards to restaurants that she could not otherwise afford to go to. I like the idea of tickets to either a sporting event, theater, or music for folks that can buy whatever else they need. Or maybe a donation to a charity that S1 supports?</p>

<p>Mezzo’sMama: I’m sure their cat would appreciate high quality organic catnip mice.</p>
<p>Here’s something that went over well at our house last year:</p>
<p>[Eliza</a> B.: Leather Man Belts](<a href=“http://elizab.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=EB&Category_Code=lm-belts]Eliza”>http://elizab.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=EB&Category_Code=lm-belts)</p>
<p>Click on the “design your own” one. They are substantial, well-made custom belts with many motiff choices. For example I got the golfer for S1 (20), lax for S2 (17) and even one for my brother (41) with canoe paddles. My boys tend to dress fairly preppy, but I had belt for my brother made in earth tones, and it turned out really well.</p>
<p>ELY-love that idea for my H! My S is 27-almost 28 and I try to get him something he wouldn’t get for himself. It’s not so much about cost, but he’s the kind of person who doesn’t like to part with money on something he considers “extra”. Last year I got him a cheap electric guitar as he decided to teach himself to play. He didn’t want a “good” one in case he didn’t take to it. He’s still playing. </p>
<p>He enjoys tinkering with his car and boat so I’ve gotten him accessories that aren’t “necessary” and he likes that. And he’s always up for something electronic-in his case “old school” systems or games that he can somehow reprogram or change up. He’s always a lot of fun to buy for because it’s never boring.</p>
<p>H is harder but I’ll muddle through.</p>
<p>I got my brother and DH happened to get my sis-in-law in this year’s gift exchange–I think I’m giving them a night at a b-and-b about 1.5 hours away from them. I gave them a gift certificate to a nice restaurant for their birthdays several years ago. I’ve also given spa-type things in the past to adult relatives–facials/massages/. . . Even gave my brother a “sports massage,” thinking he wouldn’t think it was too frou-frou.</p>
<p>I don’t know your price point but the traditional gift in my family for hs graduation is an engraved belt from Tiffany’s. They’ll have the belt buckle the rest of their lives.</p>
<p>Since it’s hard to know what’s the latest and best electronic/computer/tv device, how about a gift card to Amazon.com?</p>
<p>Great stuff for guys from this place…</p>

<p>You are their mother. You get to give them something that no one else will give them cause you know them better than anyone else. Everything from the lego set they always wanted to a really frivolous fashion accessory to an unforgettable memory. This year one one kid will get a bolo tie ( with silver collar points!), and a book on Nudie suits. One will contact lenses and a box of Harry and David pears. Won’t work for your kids, but my boys will be over the moon. (One also really wants a rooster, but he lives a city that allows chickens but no roosters, so he will have to wait! And no, I do not know why he wants a rooster.)</p>
<p>I meant to say, don’t think them as grown ups, but rather as your boys and gift ideas will come.</p>
