Giving grandparents gift card to TNT, lol
Trying to find a 240SX toy to give to my friend who's buying a 240 lol

My company is doing Secret Santa. What is a appropriate gift for about $25 that is not a gift card?

[Graeme S]

My family has a $10 budget for gifts. I did all my christmas shopping on dx.com

Lasers and flashlights and all kinds of weird shit.

Starbucks has coffee's and mugs, cups, etc that are well suited for gifts.

The specialty tea stores in metrotown also have decent gifts for around that price.

I hate shopping for random people lol, so just end up getting random things. It's secret anyway :troll:

[StylinRed]

i used to always have great ideas on what to buy but the last couple years its been harder and harder to come up with ideas

this year ive got absolutely no clue :/

[murd0c]

I will decide on the 22nd if we survive the 21st :troll:

[riley_]

Can't go wrong with iKea gift cards. Every time I go into that store, I end up leaving with something.

[skiiipi]

I usually buy a bottle of red wine. Hard to go wrong unless of coz they don't drink wine, but you should know by then since you work with them.

For that budget you can't go wrong with the Holiday Season Liqour gift boxes. Comes in a tin with a small bottle and 2 cups. Crown Royal is one of many and is $20 If i remember.

[skiiipi]

Its actually 3 different families
And I don't think they have a wii.

Budget would be around $50/kid
Or maybe $70 for the oldest kid and $30 for younger ones (if they are siblings, since the younger ones gets hand me downs)

Just want to know if there is like "the gift" this year
Like how "tickle me elmo" was hot shit a few years back

And sucks cause there is no disney store here in the okanagan, or else everybody gets disney plush dolls haha.

Earth quake kit I can do because it has been pretty popular as gifts lately. I don't think it would be used...

My company is doing Secret Santa. What is a appropriate gift for about $25 that is not a gift card?

I am on the same boat as you for my office.

Here are some of my experiences (hopefully help out fellow members), somewhere in the range of $20-$25:

@ Winners/Home Sense:
- Box of wine glasses/shot glasses. (Good for M/W)
- Earphones, everyone has a cell phone. (Good for M/W)
- Scarves/Gloves, decent colors. (Good for M/W))
- Found some men electric shavers by philips @ Joey Burnaby location for $20
- Home Decor stuff, like houseware/dishes/bowls. (Good for M/W)
- Ipad accessories (only if they have apple products, otherwise universal earphones are always usable)
- Ties or cufflinks. (Good for M)
- Glass vases or home ornaments (Good for W)
- Weights, small dumbbells (Good for M/W for light lifting and good laughs to anyone who receives that gift - tell them they are a lightweight LOL )
- Picture frames or portrait hangers (Good for M/W or families)
- Mens Wallet (Good for M)
- Stainless Credit card holder case, great for ppl who just stores a few CC and quick cash on a night out. (Good for M/W)

@ Home Depot (mostly for MEN)
- They have great stocking stuffers from screwdriver sets/tools/chivels/wrenches/etc. Just find the stocking stuffers section near the cashier (Home Depot Terminal location). All under $25, a lot of selection of small tools.

M/W means Men and Women, for those who dont know LOL... the best thing is its pretty universal presents, more thought into deciding, looks better than just gift cards, and its not breaking the bank. And most of these gifts are acceptable to both sex, so if he/she doesnt like them, its easy for them to re-gift to someone else.

Hope that helps some ppl. :fullofwin:

[dat_steve]

gift cards - i always appreciate having my starbucks paid for till march!

Depends on what your relationship with that person is. Personally , what I look most forward to every year is socks and underwear. So I'd be happy with that.

[spideyv2]

I usually purchase a bottle of Belvedere for my father but once in a while I'll throw in a bottle of Crown Royal, Jack Daniels, Disaronno, Johnny Walker or Jim Beam.

I need more of those, but too lazy to go buy them :badpokerface:

[yogenfruz]

Having a hard time decided for my dad. Was thinking of a wallet (he needs a new one), but I want some other stuff to go with it.

[bartone]

Earth quake kit I can do because it has been pretty popular as gifts lately. I don't think it would be used...

Emergency Kits can be quite costly. Backpack ones run from about $110 for 1 person to $430 for 6 people. But great idea and i wouldnt mind giving or receiving one of those.

[jnesss]

the best gift is something somebody wants, but won't buy for themselves. do some recon work!

Earthquake kit is actually a good idea... we were toying with that idea too!

What to give your dad? My dads got everything in terms of tools, outdoors stuff etc and I'm having a hard time
Finding ideas, has anyone ever seen a 993 911 diecast around?

Was going to get my folks electronic things, but recently they've turned into awkward techies and have been buying all the tablets, laptops and what not :badpokerface: even an Apple TV lol.

Guess I'll get them one of those Keurig or Tassimo machines.

That's what I was thinking. They both drink coffee a lot, hope they'll make use of it LOL.

was going to get my family and extended family shoes (work at Aldo) but then all my chinese coworkers told me that its really bad luck to give shoes to family and friends because it means they will "run away from you"

great. now what.

[hotjoint]

Finished my Christmas shopping this past weekend. Glad to be done early by this time every year. Don't want to deal with all the dumb asses clogging up the malls. This is my breakdown of presents

GF - Panasonic Lumix camera (waterproof, shockproof, shockproof)
Dad - Coffee stuff from Timmy's
Mom - Gift basket from the bodyshop
Brother and his gf - Giftcard to walmart since he has a newborn, chocolate
Nephew - Soccer ball
Nieces - Toys
Sister in laws - Rihanna tickets (paying for 1/2 the tickets that GF originally bought)
Brother in laws - Giftcards, Video games, various small electronics
Friends - blu ray movies, video games, giftcards, small coffee grinder

Found some good deals online for cyber Monday sales. Saved almost $200 on the camera I bought online for the gf so put that money towards the other gifts. I have some more spending money for our Hawaii trip in Jan and also won a 3 night stay at a nice condo in Whistler at my company Christmas party this past weekend, woot woot!

If you/your family doesn't believe in that bs then continue as planned? It's a stupid old sentiment/tradition/belief to believe in.

You can buy me some shoes from Aldo, though; I'll even be your best friend after that. :fullofwin:

As for my parents' gifts, ended up helping my parents replace the family car since the other one got totaled. :okay:

Haven't started my Christmas shopping yet. Going to be a mad scramble after I finish my finals on the 16th :badpokerface:

Thankfully I only have my parents to gift, no gf no problems :fullofwin:

Actually I wish I had a gf, this is my first Christmas in two years without a girl :okay: Guess I'll save me some money.

[Hondaracer]

Ended up getting my dad the mastercraft diagnostic camera, one with the LCD screen etc, crappy tire had it on for $149, $150 off although all can tire pricing is pretty much bs :/

Its funny cause no one in my family believes in that stuff..but now all I can think of is that they'll all run away from me even though I know its just some weird belief/myth thing. -.- if they didn't tell me this I wouldn't be thinking about it.

Sorry mate :/ minimum wage isn't cuttin it

On another note of christmas presents, I was thinking about making a few large photographs to be mounted on walls, but printed in some unique way -> Processes How-To « AlternativePhotography.com (http://www.alternativephotography.com/wp/processes)

Yup, Chinese people are very superstitious. My parents are the same. Told me once not to buy a clock or watch for someone because it was symbolic of the time they had left to live or something. These stupid traditions and shit can go fuck themselves

for me i just went to the christmas market in dt they have all sorts of gifts

Honest suggestion, just ask for gift cards so you can combine your own money and get something you want.

If you want to be a dick, ask for something that's a huge hassle to get. $25 worth of hot wings or something.

Or be nice and ask for $25 worth of canned goods and donate it to the food bank :)

[i-vtecyo]

haha i was planning to buy jewelry as a Christmas present and put it on the 25th but already bought her a necklace in august. Plus she told me shes scared to lose jewelry so she doesnt wear expensive or the ones i get her. All that being said, that was an old photo with all ferrero rocher. I've changed a few and put some surprises in there. :thumbs:
