Mum - money for a trip she’s planning, an ankle bracelet to match a necklace I got her last year, a coat and jumper she chose in Zara, a bag of hot chocolate flakes and a milk whisk and various caramel Joe&Sephs goodies, some angel wings pins for pillar candles, a photo calendar and some sleep spray/moisturiser etc as she struggles.
Husband - trainers, a few jumpers, pants, chinos, some nice photo books of recent trips with an IOU for doing all of our photos at some point this year! It was hard without being able to book much as usually I would get flights or tickets to something
Grandparents - photo calendar, a jumper for him and a lounge suit for my Nan, a set of Spode flutes that match the set she collects and the first two series of the Crown on dvd.
Step kids got loads, I shop for all of the smaller bits like their fav chocs, PJs / socks, perfumes and aftershave, makeup bits for the girl, gaming bits for the boy, clothes etc.
My close friendship group we did a table secret Santa for £10 and are going to do something nice in the new year whenever we can, a meal or a spa
Aunt - fluffy slippers and a HomeSense voucher
Cousin - a boots set, he hardly ever turns up so it’s a token in case he does
MIL - a metal wall art thing she wanted and two cliff richard calendars (she will get the four they sell in total and keeps them all in cellophane. Lunatic).
I had three new babies last year to buy for who all got a nice personalised Christmas Eve box. I got them all a new dressing gown / PJs, a little toy and a book each with the intention of seeing them before and they could go in the box but only managed to drop one set off with lockdown etc. One of my good friends had a baby recently so I got him a personalised box with bibs, a rattle, a baby’s first Christmas bauble, cute PJs etc. It was really nice getting photos from the mums of the older kids when they got the box out this year so I’m excited for that to be a little tradition I do for all new babies.
Oh and my Mum’s dog (my little brother!)I got him some chews and a bathrobe.
