If you’re not sure what to buy for Christmas this year, no need to worry – I’ve got you covered! The last two years I have created an adult child gift guide, and it is fantastic. I asked our entire community of adult children and parents of adult children for the best gifts they’ve ever given or received. The answers were so dang good! Last year it was by far the most popular gift guide I shared, and I anticipate it’s going to be the same this year.
This is one of the gift guides I love creating the most, because almost everything this community suggested made me say, “Oh, that’s so good!” or, “I would love that!”
Practical and useful seemed to be the leading contenders, but there are also some really, really fun and really luxe ideas. So here are 7 Christmas gifts for adult children that they are going to be so glad you bought.
ALL-IN-ONE PORTABLE CHARGER
Practical? Yes. Will they use it every single day? Also yes. This portable charger has built-in micro-USB, Type-C, and other cables so no matter what they need to charge, they’re covered. And it even plugs directly into wall outlets, so charging it back up is super easy!
This is the gift your kid doesn’t know to ask for and then never leaves the house without.
DOUBLE SLEEPING PAD
For your kids who camp (or the ones who host everybody on the living room floor), a sleeping pad made for two is so dang good. Way more comfortable than two singles sliding apart all night!
This one comes with two built-in pillows, and you don’t need to pack a separate pump – you can inflate it with a foot pump in less than two minutes! Seriously a game changer.
BAMBOO SHEETS
Here’s your bougie pick. These bamboo sheets are so, so soft, and they naturally help you stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter while you sleep.
Nice sheets are one of those things adult kids almost never buy for themselves. I would love to open these on Christmas morning!
HULKEN BAG
This Hulken bag hauls everything – groceries, laundry, sports gear, all the Christmas presents coming home with them. This giant rolling tote is water resistant and holds up to 66 pounds, and your kids will wonder how they ever lived without it!
72-HOUR EMERGENCY KIT
A 72-hour emergency kit is not the most glamorous gift under the tree, but it might be the most practical. This kit has everything two people need to survive for 72 hours – first aid gear, thermal blankets, a camping knife, and more. It’s the grown-up thing they keep meaning to get and never do, so do it for them.
PORTABLE ELECTRIC CROCKPOT
Who doesn’t love a warm lunch at their desk without waiting in line for the office microwave? This portable electric crockpot is the perfect size and it seals tightly, so you don’t have to worry about spills. This is so practical and so useful, which is exactly what this community said adult kids want.
STAND-UP PADDLE BOARD
A stand-up paddle board is the big gift they’ll pull out all summer long, and it’s basically an experience gift you can wrap. This one is inflatable, so it’s easy to take with you anywhere, and it comes with every accessory you could think of.
