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:

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).
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.

These are probably too personal... I was given a miniature greenhouse

I gave 2 shirts from jim will paint it and a plush capybara that I'm not immediately finding online and the cats are getting this weirdo from the opshop weird flat cat plush

I like that little Greenhouse thing. I am not sure who I'd get it for - possibly my sister, but I can't see her actually sitting down and assembling it. My wife probably would, but I have her more than sorted. Maybe for her next birthday. 🙂
