most things that I acquire are pretty specific like tools or books or musical instruments, socks and underwear, etc, and I came to select those things through trial and error. I still appreciate gifts, but...
my ex bought me two things I wouldn't have bought for myself but absolutely loved: the red book - a red leather bound copy of the lord of the rings in one volume and a hello kitty fender strat. then my (adult) children got together and bought me a t-shirt that is a portrait of Anthony Bourdain using sort of ascii art of the first chapter of kitchen confidential. I struggle with depression and it was like an acknowledgement of that and them telling me they loved me.
goddammit I'm crying.
if I could receive one gift I'd pick for myself, it would be more time with them.
A good or fun pair of socks.
- Genderless
- Inexpensive
- Practical
- One can never have too many socks
What? is there father's day soon? I will just get him...to a hospital. He's been stubborn lately.
All I want for Christmas is 10TB SSDs. The more the merrier.
I have such a hard time buying for people and being bought for. I mean I appreciate anything I get because it IS really the thought that matters to me, but...Like, if I want something, I'll just buy it. If I haven't bought it already, it's too expensive to get for me as a gift.
They forgot flashlights and jerky.
What I really, actually want for Christmas is time free from worries.
But I have responsibilities so I can’t ever have that again.
So I guess some underwear would be nice.
He doesn’t need razors.
He doesn’t need tools.
He doesn’t need fucking camping gear or alcohol!
And my mom doesn’t need bath products, mugs, or jewelry.
Anything else that doesn’t cost $500+, please, I’m begging you 😭(@guide writers, not OP)
Jam. Make some Jam. Everyone needs jam. Put vodka in the jam so it's fancy.
Everyone gets some apple butter and everyone will enjoy it or else!
You drive a hard bargain, but alright pass it over
I'm part of everyone! Send me apple butter! (Please)
I would if the entire batch I just made wasn't already claimed!
- Poem written by you of favorite memories
- Collect favorite photos and get then printed into a book
- Cook them a tasty special meal
- Take them out to a special favorite restaurant
If you don’t spend $500 or more then you automatically dishonour your family in the eyes of capitalism.
Cheap gifts make Jeff bezos cry. Is that what you want? To make baby Jeff cry?
Tears of joy, maybe. Cheap gifts are part of Amazon's lifeblood. It's certainly not the first place most people think of when seeking out something $500+.
These are legitimately awesome ideas. Thank you so much! /gen
Bucket style towel warmer for both/either. I can't believe they aren't standard in hotels at this point.
If you can paint -at all- like it doesn’t even have to be that good, paint a flower pot with pictures of old pets who have died over the years, plant something super easy to keep alive, like an aloe or snake plant, and write them something about your shared memories. Include the pics you used for the painting so they can reminisce with you.
This was a big win for me.
NGL I kinda want to experience knife flavoured whiskey from a flannel flask after reading that. Sounds interesting.
It's got a strong bite, with notes of oak and copper.
He needs a $550 Shinola clock with the $80 stand. So he can tell time REAL FUCKIN HARD
I mean, a knife is a great gift. I wouldn't recommend storing one in whiskey though.
What if the knife stored wiskey?
One knife is a great gift so make it count. I own one nice knife made by a blacksmith in California. That knife is my camping and anything-outdoors knife. It will undoubtedly outlast me and be handed down.
@LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone A case of 9mm always works.
cheap and useful
Woah, 50! What a steel!
I think that's mostly just in Texas.
I'll take the Knife Flavored Whiskey. Don't think I've had that one before.
Edit: I was wrong! Apparently Montana and Wyoming like guns more.
