What are you getting your early/mid 20s son for Xmas?

[Anonymous]

Looking for ideas and sharing mine as well.

My kid: He’s a year out of college, living with roommates. Works and goes to grad school locally.

Likes:
—Local sports teams, Caps, Wizards, Commanders, Nats
—Gym/Weightlifting
—Gaming
—Movies
—His girlfriend

Not a big drinker or foodie, but is open to all sorts of cuisine. Could always use more clothes, but doesn’t have a ton of space in his place. Not in the market for home or kitchen stuff just yet given his current living situation (beyond stuff like new sheets and towels that are just for him).

So far, getting him:
—New jeans
—Aforementioned new sheets and towels
—Hokas he specifically requested
—1-year movie passes for the 2 of them (Look Cinemas at Tyson’s has a really good deal right now and that’s their go-to theater)

He’s a December baby, so my list is doing double-duty. We’ll probably get him some Caps tickets as well. Maybe a new jersey for his favorite player.

What’s on your list?

Our son loves to cook so I bought him the Thermomaven G4 WiFi wireless meat thermometer.

I’ll buy him some nice golf related items as well.

My 20 year old needs new noise canceling headphones, so I'm getting him some Beats.

If he gets an apartment with roommates next semester, he'll probably need a minimum of house stuff. Previously he was in a dorm on campus.

No idea about the rest...

My kids did not really need anything. So I was thinking of consumables. Really expensive shampoo, conditioners, other grooming, products, etc..

And then of course, cash. Cash is always king.

We bought this for our son’s apartment and he loves it.

I do not like gimmick appliances except for my tiny and inexpensive hard-boiled egg cooker. It makes perfect soft and hard-boiled eggs.

My 21 yo son stopped sharing a wish list in middle school. He never ever asks for anything whether the holidays, bdays or just ordinary items most kids ask parents to cover. So most years I have given him a combo of gift cards (visa, chipotle, Amazon) or cash. When younger I could throw in fan gear for a favorite team but he has so many items for his college team and doesn’t really pay much attention to professional sports. His hobbies are running, investing and gaming. He has all the gaming gear he needs so maybe I’ll look for something related to running. I’m not sure what sort of gift might be related to investing (except cash).
