    She’s so difficult to buy for! I’m a 27 yo male looking for a simple gift for my mam. Was going to buy her a candle but thought that’s too boring 🙄 what would you buy, please give me ideas!

    It depends what she likes No?

    If you are just talking about bland and generic then sure a candle, flowers, chocolates (assuming she likes chocolates and is not allergic to flowers).

    My own mother I would have bought her something Formula 1 or crossword related but they may not be something your mother would be interested in.

    Google Home Hub is a decent product.

    Perfume or a scarf maybe.

    Does she go to the hairdresser regularly, maybe a gift voucher for that or for a beauty treatment in a salon

    Have a look at George & Milly....she does lovely gifts & I'm pretty sure she had a gift guide up on her Instagram the other day...she stocks lovely products...

    The Handmade Soap Company do lovely sets too...

    Esker Fields do nice creams & lotions too

    Or as already suggested, voucher for the chemist or a hairdressers is always a good one

    I have one extremely difficult to buy for family member (no interests or hobbies or mass on household things because she just rents a room) so unless she happens to mention something off hand during the year that sparks an idea, I always go with a hairdresser voucher. At least I know she'll use it.

    If she lives in the countryside with little or no lighting then have a think about a hat with a light!

    That's coming from Amazon US and doesn't even ship to Ireland.

    Vouchers for something like afternoon tea or a whiskey tasting experience,gig tickets etc

    My dad is a nightmare to buy for so usually I bring him on a day out. Even went and did the "Dead Interesting" tour of Glasnevin cemetery for his birthday in 2020. He was glad he wasn't being brought to pick out a plot!

    They have them in Dunnes - I got one for the OH for his birthday. He wears it when walking the dog in the dark so he can see what needs to be picked up

    Depending on your means, a Kindle if she’s a reader. A Fitbit, if she’s active. A subscription to a concert or music venue. A years membership to OPW sites if interested in history. A years membership to a racecourse if interested in racing. A season ticket to her favourite GAA team.

    I got my mam a subscription for Spotify even though she never used it. She loves it now
