gifts for split couple

Thank you, I knew I could count on you all. As nether are short of money I have decided to go with the charity idea.

I did say it upthread but I’ll just say it again.

Please do t do anything that smacks of his and hers, like a pair of socks each or of being a couple.

No matter how amicable the split they’ll be super sensitive to any hint of still together, maybe…..

Why not plant a tree via Woodland Trust or adopt an animal such as a donkey or some other charity rather than buying gin or socks or something else they don't really need or perhaps want.

Can’t help you Sandye I’ve got enough present decisions of my own as I’m sure everyone else has.

I think a book lover would always be pleased to receive a book token

Because op said they both like gin!

@Greygirl thats sounds just what I'm looking for. Thank you

@JaneJudge Ex hubby is not around to do it. I get on really well with SIL and and her hubby so like to sent a gift.

Send each a paperback book you think they will like - a book is a chance to give a really excellent quality gift at a low price. Books can entertain but they can also open up mental windows.

Why is the over-riding theme in these responses booze related!

I never use gift wrap options it s unnecessary as they know what's inside? I'm sure they'll be able to cope!

tell your husband to sort it?

Agree it's a bit much to put extra load on to the daughter, it's Christmas, she's probably got enough to contend with what with all the usual hassle of the season.

I think it’s passing the buck to ask the daughter to get something, she may have enough to do getting presents herself
There’s plenty of nice gift sets around for your budget

How about a nice hip flask each. I’ve recently given 4 as presents, and the recipients were absolutely delighted with them! You can buy personalised ones, also ones with funny sayings on, there’s loads to choose from!

I have got some fun socks on Amazon perfect bed socks, house socks , £8 a pair . Look like a tray of sushi, slice of pizza in a box, depending on there sense of fun.

If you have Home Bargains near you that sell alcohol they have lovely little boxed gift sets with a glass, miniatures and truffles that look great. Succulents in gorgeous pots are everywhere too with maybe a box of chocs....

Does either like plants? You could ask the daughter to buy a plant in a basket for one and perhaps presentation boxes of say gin miniatures or bottles of beer.

Yep, I agree with Esspee. I think giving one gift to split will be too difficult given that they live seperately.

I like Esspee's suggestion!

Personally I would send the daughter the cash and ask her to buy a specific item for each but suspect if it's booze it would need to be a bit more than £10 each. No point in wasting money on delivery charges.
How about some cheese truckles, jars of cherries in kirch, olives etc? Something a little seasonal but easy to obtain from the daughter's usual supermarket.

Well definitely not the same thing for each of them.
The presents need to be as different as possible

Socks and soap. ?

Supermarkets have nice little gin sets etc.

Yes @kittylester I need two gifts just want ideas about 10 ish each

Have a look on Notonthehighstreet website. Lots of choice and many are free delivery.
There are some mini gin sets for under £20.

Or - If you know the daughter really well, you could send two bottles to her and ask her to wrap them separately.
