Ask
The easiest and most straightforward way to find out what your child will like is to simply ask. See if they have a wishlist. Ask them to detail a few items they’re interested in and would particularly like so you can choose from them. They may even be able to write down the names of particular things, or send you links to places you can buy them from.
Ideas
Of course, if you want to keep your gift a surprise, you can’t always directly ask. Here are some general ideas that might help you find the perfect gift:
Clothes - chances are, there’s a certain item of clothing that your child would love but they might not particularly buy for themselves due to budget or wanting to put their money towards other things. Examples could include brands like Moncler for Men.
Household appliances - if your child has their own place, chances are there may be some sort of household appliance that they’d love. A good quality vacuum, a blender, a cake mixer, a microwave, a coffee machine the list goes on…
Hobbies - does your child have hobbies? There may be some accessory or piece of equipment that would help them in this that they would get a lot of use out of. Running trainers, a pole for pole fitness, a bow for archery or something else could be a great gift.
Tickets - doing something together could be fun! Consider theatre tickets, tickets to a concert, tickets to a class or anything else that you can spend time doing and bonding over.
Something meaningful - you could always try to go down the route of something meaningful. This could be something like a scrapbook of memories that you have made together, or looking into acrylic picture frames and framing the best photo you have of everyone.
Always Keep a Gift Receipt
Of course, there’s always the chance that your gift might not be quite right or that your child may already have the item without you realising. This is why you should always keep a gift receipt with anything you buy. This way, they can return the item and exchange it for something else if needs be.
Hopefully, the information above has given you some ideas and can get the ball rolling when it comes to buying the perfect gift for your teen or adult child. Try a few different approaches and you’re bound to land on something that suits your child’s interests and preferences and will bring a smile to their face!
