My D-out of college, lives on her own, loved my gift to her last year of a “coffee bar”. I got her a programmable coffee maker that did not use a pot, but dispensed the amount you needed at the time. Then I added some various coffees, flavored syrups, creams, etc. The kinds of things kids go for at Starbucks, only at-home versions. I also got her some comfy fleece to hang out in that was much appreciated.

My S is hard to buy for. He can buy whatever on his own, hates to shop, is a minimalist, and the hobbies he has are expensive. He gets a lot of gift cards. He’s looking to replace his laptop soon, so this year I think I will get him a gift card for his favorite tech store.

Younger D wants “an experience”. Though she’s headed to college next year, we have no idea where she’ll end up and whether it will be a short drive or a long plane ride, so we’re not stocking up on college gear year. She’ll likely take a lot from home either way. We may send her to visit one of her college friends in the spring as her experience.

H is easy this year. He’s a Star Wars fanatic and every store out there has a ton of stuff. He’s hinted at wanting the 3-foot Darth Vader with sound effects, or that new little rolling robot. He’s already got a light saber…
