<p>I actually bought ods 12 pairs of dress socks and 20 pairs of sport socks as his girlfriend begged me to do so. I had no idea he was in such dire straights. She says he never wears matching socks. And/or they don’t fit. </p>
<p>goskid2 confiscated my power bank at Thanksgiving. Dang…he was going to get one in his stocking. Guess it will go in MY stocking!</p>

<p>The lovable pocket knife </p>
<p>Lose able, not lovable. Cheap enough that if you forget and lose it at security, it’s less than a cup of coffee.</p>
<p>Those are very reasonable–wonder what shipping rates to HI are like? I think it’s too close to the holidlays to expect it will arrive before Christmas. S & D both only hand carry luggage and don’t check ANYTHING. I think we have a lot of folding knives and multi-tools (tho I do like them).</p>
<p>You have to get a special shipping quote for mailing to HI & noncontiguous states. For orders under $20, shiipping is $7.95!</p>
<p>Thing DS asked for: nice headphones, shoes, and posters for his room. Since he only got back to me late as to what posters he wanted, I didn’t get him any. I did get him headphones and shoes. Crazy socks, chocolate, belt buckle and a multi-tool (later I realized I might have to ship it) for stocking stuffers. </p>
<p>We just did our exchange last night and the biggest hit was a skeleton watch. </p>
<p>S seemed happy with his Jockery charger I gave him for Chanukah.</p>
<p>I’ve given both of my kids “portable power” for their phones in the past and they do use them.</p>
<p>Above posts have pretty much covered my gift ideas for 26 year old S. I did get him a nice rolling garment bag for business travel. Hard to get a suit in a duffle bag…lol. </p>
<p>I’d go with a L shirt for 6’1, 173 pounds. That’s fairly trim and XL may be too wide unless you get trim fit. My H is 6’1" and a very fit 186 lbs and he wears a large in everything except some t-shirts. </p>
<p>I found something my S will love just last night (thank you, Amazon). They are called “Nano blocks” and are like Legos only they are teeny tiny. Some are for kids, but there is a line of buildings, like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Eiffel Tower, etc. The finished product fits in your hand. I got S the Easter Island one. They’re mostly under $20, some under $15. S LOVED Legos. I did a cake last fall for a 10 yo and put Ninja Turtle Legos on it and S quickly volunteered to put them together. He bought this kid another set for Christmas so the Nano Blocks will be a big hit.</p>

<p>Peeking in here to get some ideas for a gift for a HS senior kid that turns out I need to buy (long story). Those Nano Blocks sound great, sseamom! </p>
