My cousin is 20 years old and it's the first time I've seen him in about 5 years. We aren't a huge family so we will be buying presents for all of the 'kids' but I have no idea what to get him!
He hasn't started uni yet and I'm not sure if he's going to, still living at home but has just been backpacking for about a year. He lives in NZ too so gift vouchers aren't an option. Would like to spend $40-50. Any ideas? I have no idea what he's really into in terms of technology/sports/tv etc. |

Sorry, I misread the post in "todays active topics" and thought you said "want to buy 20 year old boy/man?"
Now, I am not in the market, but I thought "there is a thread that is set to derail"!! And now I have read your whole post fully, have to strike most things I would answer... Was there a book/album/movie that was defining for you at that age? Clothes? A nice pen and letter writing kit? (lol that was my grandmother's go to present) This post has been edited by suziej: 06/12/2012, 10:29 PM |
