Gift dilemma

I give money if I haven't been advised as to what to get, it is a minefield out there.

Yes I give money, but I do expect to be told eventually what it was used for or put towards. My grandchildren needed money for Christmas & birthdays this year, the oldest wants driving lessons and the younger needs equipment to go skiing with the school

Yes BradfordLass72 - I like that

As long as the accompanying card says how much he's appreciated and how proud his parents must be of him, or some other positive remarks, I'm sure he'd love some money to spend how he chooses.

It's only impersonal if we let it be so.

I've stopped giving vouchers because so many places go bust! I would probably gift cash and a small wrap up to to with, just something silly for the wrap up like a joke pencil or mug or something like that.

Thank you for your suggestions. Money would probably be the best idea. Then he can choose his own gift.

I think money is the best option - I think of it as the voucher that you can redeem anywhere.

If he uses an x box, you can get gift cards for the Xbox so they can buy items for the games they play or put towards another game. Always goes down well with my 13 years old Grandson.

How about an I Tunes voucher or Sport Direct
