She's really passionate about her beliefs concerning social justice. She's a really funny and creative person. When we were kids, if she ever found a bee in the garden that couldn't fly, she would make it a house out of mulch and twigs to protect it. She really like bananas she used to eat like 5 to 10 bananas a day. When we go shopping together she doesn't even enter the women's section. She has a hard-line stance against makeup, dresses, nail polish, purses, jewelry, and basically anything else traditionally feminine.

And whenever we make something we try to eat it all in one sitting, because we don't like baked goods hanging around the house for days. We like to bake together, but tend to clash because she's more fast and loose with ingredients and I need everything to be measured out. Doesn't shave body hair for political reasons. Is very proud to be a Pittsburgher, and would like you to forget she originated in the Garden State. Excellent at finding unique music on Spotify. And if a go-do gift is up his alley, you could invest in a “family” membership (which covers two people) to the National Gallery of Ireland (100 euros) or another nearby museum you’d both like getting lost in on dreary afternoons.Ībout them: Queer, vegan, socialist, atheist, social scientist. You could also personalize a Moleskine music notebook ($14-$25, depending on size and personalization) for him, if writing music is among his many talents.

It comes with software that might take his creativity to a whole new level. Our suggestion(s): Open up his composition capabilities with this MIDI keyboard ($79 on sale). Loves presents that can aid his artistic and theatrical projects. Gift(s) they’ve loved: Anything personalised, anything evidently “from the heart.” Favourite present in recent years was probably his synth. An incredibly warm and funny person who is grateful for most gifts, but has so much already that he's hard to buy something really special for! Birthday is in December too, so pressure always on to get a good present. Has encyclopaedic knowledge of theatre, film, and music. Loves engaging with the interesting, curious, and alternative things in life-fascinated by everything but places culture at the centre of his world. Incredibly charming and fully at home with his eccentricities. Very culturally engaged and musically talented-plays synth and omnichord, loves unusual instruments. Take a look at those and see if any fit your daughters’ personalities.Ībout them: Hugely interested in and passionate about theatre, but already has a large extensive collection of plays, films, and books. Something like this sweet clutch ($24), this monogram keychain ($11+) or leather knot keychain ($15), or this druzy necklace ($20). Also, don’t underestimate the appeal to them of getting something nice and small that just came from you, Dad. The service sends a monthly box of makeup samples for them to explore new looks. Or, you could look into getting them a Birchbox subscription to split ($10 a month, or $110 for the year).

Our suggestion(s): To facilitate your daughters’ passion for fraternizing, why not get them a portable speaker they can share? Or, one for each if you don’t mind going over budget? This one’s on sale for $28, has wireless bluetooth capability for optimal use on the beach, and can easily recharge through its micro USB cable. They also liked LED string lights that came with a remote to control dimming and pulsing, and was most importantly USB-powered, for serendipitous, expeditionary illumination of the net, court, and sand during nighttime volleyball at Carmel beach, and for the “Trunk-or-Treat” Halloween celebration at school, where senior girls line up their cars outside the school boarders' dormitories, open up their trunks (outlined with glowing LEDs) from which to dispense candy, play their latest from Spotify, and socialize, socialize, socialize. Gift(s) they’ve loved: A sparkly, circular, thin makeup case with mirror, which was secretly an iPhone battery. The girls love sports (varsity volleyball, hip hop, and ballet) and being social. About them: We enjoy sitting with friends around our festive bonfire out back, overlooking the rolling hills of Monterey, enjoying ribs and coleslaw (Mom’s homemade recipe), roasting marshmallows, and sharing stories.
