  • Christmas Gift Ideas

    Looking for new or unusual gifts for the missus and others. I'm especially interested in ideas for men in the $30 to $100 range. We host a Christmas Eve dinner for family and friends and we usually pass out gifts to the attendees. I heard a radio spot today ad for Mancrates and I like the idea of passing out small wooden crates with the supplied crowbar to open them up. They're overpriced given the contents, but still look pretty funny. And manly. My wife dishes out the girly stuff.

    I'm trying to find "Oh Wow!" gifts for different age groups without breaking the bank.

    If you've found something unusual, clever or anything else you're excited about giving this year, please report.

      In our office gift exchange I drew the name of a guy across the country, with a similar spending budget. I wanted to send him some bourbon from High West distillery in Utah, but the Virginia DABC only allows delivery on orders over $100.

      So I went with Amazon's best selling hobby drone. It gets good reviews, and seems to be a good entry level choice for amateurs. It would be fun to play around with from time to time, and doesn't require an FAA permit.

        "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

          Now I've got my Dad's present - he's an old cannon cocker

          I may be small, but I'm slow.

          A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

                A belated thanks for the suggestions, including UT's pretty awesome list. I'm going with ammo boxes filled with manly items including a Swiss-army-like all-in-one tool, a grip strengthener, first aid kit for when things go awry, a DVD (various cinematic testosterone-fests, such as Hacksaw Ridge, Bourne, Die Hard, etc.), beer nuts, Lava soap, and a bag of beef jerky (the Traeger is currently cranking out a few pounds of it). The missus says I'm the "Martha Stewart of 50 caliber ammo boxes," which kind of undercuts the machismo I was going for, but still...

                      Thanks for this! I had no idea what to get for my wife and didn't think of one of these. I've been wanting to jump on the "prison food" bandwagon for a while now. The bluetooth model was on sale for $100.
