OT: Xmas ideas

[dahliaclone]

I'm always on the lookout for some off-the-beaten-path ideas to give people as Xmas gifts. Anyone have any products, tech, clothing, etc that they've stumbled across and will be getting friends/family this year? Oddly a few ideas in the past I've done have been products from Shark Tank that got a deal and had great sales and reviews. I already have bought one Shark Tank product for my better half. Bombas are another go-to for not only the past two years but this year as well. Socks seem boring but these are the best socks ever made. I also stumbled across a retro/vintage 1959-79 Apres Ski clothing line that is pretty cool. We're a skiing family so will probably get a couple of things from there. I don't have really any cool, reasonably priced tech/gadgets though...would love some ideas.

Thanks!

Not a tech guy but if you or anyone needs tool advice, let me know. Buying tools for people are usually a terrible gift unless they specifically ask or know what you’re looking for.

Bought a smart lock and doorbell cam. Also going to try and shop local more than I have in years past since a lot of the local shops could use the business this year.

I assume you mean the manscaping tool Lawn Mower...

Our 19-year-old second-year ISU student wanted a turntable and we landed on this. I know record players have been pretty popular in recent years for millennials, so it's not all that original, but it's still a pretty slick set up.

The amount of bleeding nut pictures on the Amazon reviews turned one of those into a hard pass.

Got one sitting up at the old farm house. For that much, I should check it out.

What's great is with my daughter, for every Billy Eilish and Posty album she asks for, I match it with an album from my youth growing up with actual record players. She already has a 'Waylon & Willie' and 'KISS Destroyer' album sitting in her collection, courtesy of dad. Lots of fun.
