I have actually most of my Xmas shopping . . . and what I haven't done I know what I am going to get.

BUT

I am stuck for the first time ever on what to get Robot Boy for Xmas - he is 20 years old and at Uni studying Robotics. He will be 21 in January. I know what to get him for his 21st - well I think I do . . . but really stuck for Xmas!!!!

Hello there. Depends on your budget. Does he have any hobbies. When my son passed his exams and reached a special birthday I completely surprised him with a flying lesson. I still feel smug when i picture his face... Laughing

Probably a bit pricey for us - he has been up in a helicopter . . . but a very good idea.

They are tough at that age to shop for but I'll ask my children and see if they have any suggestions.

You might also ask a friend of his if there's one that you know well.

My son had put away all of his legos several years ago and was delighted last year to find a new little set in his stocking. He was a little boy again for the morning.

How about a computer game or cd (or download thingy),dvd box set. Have just been buying things for daughters birthday (17 next week) and it's difficult! Incidently, she always gets a sticker book in her stocking too, I don't think she'll ever grow out of them!

What about a kilt. It means that there are so many extras to be bought over the next few birthdays and Christmases. Like a sporran, a skean dhui, jacket, shoes etc etc. And they do look so smart and (dare I say ) SEXY Embarassed Embarassed

What about Maccarno, bought some last Christmas for my daughters 21 year old boyfriend who is into computers tech stuff etc, and he loved it.

M&S had a range last year for about £25.

What about a Nintendo Wii, the one where you can play sport games with another person, as though you are really playing the game itself, and fixed up to the TV.

Good idea also to maybe buy on Amazon Westerwitch, they have some great bargains on there.

Forgot to mention WW, you don't always need another person to play with Nintendo Wii, you can play a game as a single player too.
