| Holiday Gift Ideas
Just wanted to give you guys some suggestions for stocking stuffers or secret santa gifts.
If you have any suggestions please share!!!
1) Air compressor - $45
This is super handy to have at home, no more having to go to the gas station https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00...K6Y9EEQB&psc=1
2) Digital Tire Pressure Gauge - $13
Everyone needs one in their car https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00...K6Y9EEQB&psc=1
3) 2M charging cable - $11
If you don't have a 2M (6ft) cable, you don't know what you're missing, having one this long by your bedside is ideal, the regular 3ft cable is too short, these make amazing gifts for people https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01...K6Y9EEQB&psc=1
This is the amazon micro usb cable https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07...K6Y9EEQB&psc=1
4) Meat Thermometer - $20
This is the best cooking aid we have, our meats are cooked perfectly, no more dry ass chicken, this thing is amazing. Any cook will appreciate this! The best part is that you can use this in the oven as there is a cooking wire that you put in the meat and it connects to the unit outside the oven. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01...CPMNRL3Z&psc=1
5) Food tongs with stand - $18
This is just a convenience to have in the kitchen, mom's will love this. The little stands on the tongs are really handy because you can place these anywhere without getting the tips dirty https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07...6Y161R8R&psc=1
6) Brooklyn Shorty Bat - $24
Perfect size to have by your bed, "just in case" https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00...K6Y9EEQB&psc=1
7) Go Girl Urination Device - $12
Does this even need an explanation? This is hilarious https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00...K6Y9EEQB&psc=1
8)Travel Packing Cubes - $25
This is a game changer for those who travel. If you don't own packing cubes, you don't know what you're missing. https://www.amazon.ca/Gonex-Packing-...g%2Bcubes&th=1
9)Nintendo Lamps - $65
For those with a bigger budget, these are awesome for the adult gamer or for your younger brother/nephew. You can find them at EB games

Those compressors are good to keep in the vehicle, at the very least toss it in anytime you're going out of town.
On the automotive theme, a longer breaker bar with a socket for whatever size the lugnuts are is a good gift too. My wife and sister in law can both change a flat no problem but the dinky tire irons the manufacturer gives you makes it tricky. Figure out what the longest size is that'll store nicely in the vehicle and wait for PA to have it on sale. They come in different colours too. https://www.princessauto.com/en/deta...ar/A-p8224743e

You can buy travel packing cubes from the dollar store (Dollarama) for $2.50 each I think... they are intermittently in stock and then sell out immediately.

lol, I just picked up one of these last week when they were on sale for $11.
There seems to be several clones on Amazon with different logos, but they're all literally the same device. Just get the cheapest one you can find. Sometimes, the prices are different for different colours.

$24.99 https://www.lowes.ca/products/view.a...788615&cid=885
Great stocking stuffer for any male this year. Hard to get better than channellocks, especially at this price.

People, this is 2018. We have a neurotic POTUS in office, there’s escalating global warming, melting all the snowflakes out there, and here we are discussing urination devices for women? Gulolol.

Getting a "meat" thermometer makes me giggle as I've gifted it on many a special occasion just not as frequent as I'd like though |

Need a idea for 9yr boy(friend's son), who just started Nintendo Switch.
I saw Nintento eStore giftcard, $25,$50.
I think $50 for 9yr is too much, but with only $25, what can he buy?
I dont know anything about console and Nintendo eStore, can he use $25 to buy something? DLC? i dont want him to have to add his own money.
or should I get him 1yr Nintendo Online subscription for $24.99?

Get him that one year online sub, he can play NES games with it etc.
Everything else on the stupid console is $100+ so a $50 GC is just forcing the parents to spend more dough
