Yet again, I'm buying gifts for people and need gift ideas. This crowd really came through last year and I'd love to try it again!

I don’t want to make rules, but I think we need a couple:

  1. Let’s at least cap them at $50ish. Telling people you want a DJI Drone, a Steam Deck or PS5 simply isn’t realistic. I’m not looking for ideas in that price range (even though I’d probably love all these, myself).
  2. Avoid intimate stuff. I’m not talking sex toys (though avoid those too - I’m not buying my sister-in-law a dildo), but more things that are really personal like jewellery, watches and stuff that you need to know the person’s tastes to get right.

Gift mugs are a good cheap standby in case someone you don’t know well is unexpectedly coming and you didn’t have anything for them.

Buy a large mug, fill it with small food or cosmetic items that look nice together half sticking out and wrap it in cellophane.

Err… fill it with Hershey’s Kisses and give it to someone special?

Hershey's kisses would be a perfect accompaniment to this specific mug.
