Does anyone have suggestions for joggers for a tall guy? My DS1 is 6'4" and wears a medium - but his current joggers are getting too short. (and a large is too big) He's 18 and a freshman in college, so something young and cool is also of utmost importance.

marvine--check out Vuori, going to get my DH a pair. He's 6'3" and thin too so a regular large will be way too big but I worry about a medium. I don't know about whether they sell slim? Definitely the brand is good quality. They feel like butter on your legs ha ha
Anyone got something good for an 11 year old girl who is hard into science, space and geology specifically. My husband is against a rock tumbler but I may get her one anyway LOL.
LEGO! The first is a small display piece that is $50. The second is the space shuttle discovery and is $200, but an amazing build and display piece! Lego also has the Mars Rover sets, space center, building launch site and more.
I like to start my Christmas Shopping early, don't hate me! LOL
Feel free to add yours here as well.
I'm looking for:
A couples gift - price range $300 - late 20's, my son and his girlfriend. In the past I've gotten them luggage, a vacuum, air fryer. I get them individual gifts as well but also like to get them something useful for the house
15 y/o boy - my youngest son, and I am literally stumped. He's always been impossible to buy for. He likes video games, riding his bike, snowboarding.
What about a season pass for snowboarding? Depending on what system he plays games on, there are always upgrades to get.
@sameoldstory, tickets to a concert, show, amusement park?
If anyone has a rec for a standing mirror with jewelry storage, I think that's what we're going to get E this year. Her old one that was a restore find that I repainted doesn't match her new room and she needs some jewelry storage now.
This is the one I’ve been looking at. I really like the look.

Shes already built the ISS and the lunar lander. Shes got a big starvwars set she still hasnt put together. We may have to do the Discovery just because though.
This is a probably a dumb question...I want to buy a Wrexham AFC Hat - one just like the team sells (the blue baseball one Ryan Reynolds always wears). There's no way to do that in the US, right? I'd have to order from the UK site? A lot of sites like Red Bubble have sort of similar but not quite the same.
There is no official store in the US. If you want the official hat, you’d need to buy it from the UK store. I put one in my cart and changed to US shipping in Colorado and it was 20 pounds through FedEx.
Does anyone know where I can find an Acuna Jr Navy Braves jersey? I'm looking for youth xl or mens small. I've tried fanatics (and all of the websites they own), kohls, Dick's, Academy, Lids and google. I'm in MI so won't be able to find anything local.

Both my kids have asked for a go pro -- we may get one for them to share.
My 15 year old is also into biking and snowboarding, but he is sort of obsessed with biking and will most likely get some mountain bike upgrades for Xmas. Would not be as exciting if he wasn't so into it.
He also needs snowboarding gloves, a new coat, a watch, and some clothes.

I want to get H some new beard oil. Last year I got him a sample from Viking Revolution. He liked those, but I’d love to try something new. He’s used the Jack Black brand before and didn’t care for it as much. Anyone have suggestions or recommendations?
My kids are both at an age that is hard to shop for. DS wants a gaming chair so that will be his big gift, and DD will probably get show tickets as hers. DD's birthday is next week, and I think we're going to replace her phone since her current one is pushing three years and the battery is starting to go.
DH is impossible to shop for. So far I have a slightly dressier pullover for him and zero other ideas.
For Christmas I do like to stick with the want, need, wear, read formula to round out each person's big gift with smaller stuff.

I have this rock tumbler and it isn't quiet because none of them are, but it's quieter than my old one! If you have a porch, garage, or basement to run it in you won't hear it.
The telescope I have is pricey but let me know if that is something you are considering. The models they have now are so much better than what I grew up with, it has digital settings to calibrate where the telescope points in the sky so you can press a button and it lines up with whatever you want to see.
You could also get tickets to a local planetarium or museum if there are any special programs coming through your area.
I would have a hard time not spending alllllll my money to encourage her interests!

Thanks! Rock tumbler would 100% go in the basement. I dismissed a telescope initially because we live in an area with a lot of light pollution, but maybe I'll look into them anyway. Or maybe I'll give that idea to grandma and grandpa for their xmas gift (and probably never hear the end of how I told them I didn't want my dad's telescope the last time they moved).
mala, I did a Goldbelly gift certificate for my parents last year & printed out an idea for them to use it (lobster rolls bc they keep talking about their trip to Maine) & they loved it.
If they enjoy cooking, in the pasted I’ve seen “adopting an olive tree” & they send you oil but I didn’t check price on that.
Generally, I try to do experiences bc they don’t need more stuff.
I am looking for an idea for my friend group gifts - budget of maybe $15 each. I did homemade hot cocoa and personalized mugs last year, a friendship ornament two years ago, cozy socks and a premixed cocktail that I mixed up that’s a knock off of where we always go to lunch.

A few years ago I put together mittens/gloves and filled them with lipbalm, chocolate, and lottery tickets.

I am struggling on this too. I might do "Mini bar in a Jar." Cute mason jars with the tiny liquor bottles and mixers of whatever they like.

I can never find my mittens. This is a great idea!
I think we’re getting 15 yo dss a mini fridge for his room, based on a suggestion from here. And probably new sweats and some cash, since that’s what he really wants.
Dd is getting some our Generation toys, a chemistry kit, a Lego friends set, and some light up tracing pad.
A is getting tennis shoes and an exercise outfit so far, unsure what else.
DD (12) put Ugg Tasman clogs on her list. I have never bought Uggs before - does anyone know if they typically have pretty good Black Friday sales? Or should I keep my eye out for sales at places like DSW or Zappos?
I think you will be lucky to find them in stock period. They're definitely a covered gift this year.
I just want to share that TikTok has some amazing ideas for hard-to-find people. I don't mean buy from tiktok, but look for various videos with great suggestions. It might take some time but there are some amazing ideas to be found.
midwestmama, Id buy them if you find them in stock. If you find a deal later return them but last year they were tough to find in stock after thanksgiving in most sizes/colors
