Anyone have any great white elephant gift ideas? $25 limit and we stick to nice gifts, not like junky gag gifts. The group is MH's cousins, all in their 20-30's. Most married or getting married with one single guy in the mix. In the past I've typically stuck with alcohol. Moscow mule mugs with the ingredients to make them, Kracken rum with scratch off lotto tickets, ect. This year I'm considering 2 big mugs, coffee and baileys. My gift doesn't have to be alcohol, that's just my go to! Any ideas? Yeti lowball cups with Christmas flavored coffee?

You could also do a bloody Mary basket -- the mix, if you use it, some of the fixings, and two really good tall glasses. Or a a bottle of champagne and stuff for Bellinis or Mimosas?

wineallthetime nice throw, slippers and cacao? Or and Italian cooking set, nice pasta, cookbook, pesto, marinara etc. A unisex bathrobe? I second this if you don't want to go alcohol driven. A big pasta basket with good jarred accessories (Red peppers, olive oil, olives, pesto) is always a hit.

wineallthetime , if you want to go away from alcohol you could do cell phone accessories like an in car phone holder and one of those pop-put circle holding things (technical term!) and an itunes gift card or speaker. Or a battery power backup. These would also be good gifts for any teens you may know. I also like to search the amazon giftable gadgets section.

I've decided to get 3 months of Loot crate for my nephew. I'll tell him if he likes it I'll renew it. His birthday is this month, he's turning 14, I have no idea what he likes other than intelligence driven things and gaming. I felt Loot crate would be perfect. Now if my brother would just email me his tshirt size so I can get it ordered, that would be great.

UGH, MH ordered my niece's gift (LeapFrog ice cream cart) and apparently selected pick up in store instead of ship to our house. Well, we didn't pick it up and they cancelled the order. Now it's sold out everywhere I'm bummed.

Cyber Monday sale help:
Anyone have the code-a-pillar? It's $20 off at Target
Micro scooter is down to $50! I wish the bigger size was marked down since we are over 40lb now.

Josie wants a scooter so badly, but it seems like a frustrating winter gift if it's going to snow all season. Idk if I should get it for her or just wait til Easter/spring.

Otherwise E liked playing with it I think I'm going to pass bc lots of reviews say you need space and hard wood floors, neither of which we have. Maybe a future gift, granted I'm not sure if I'll understand how to use it!

This is how I feel about a new bike. I rather give it to him in March, then having to say over and over he can’t use it because of the snow/ice/rain etc. ETA but if it’s a steel now I’d buy it and put it away.

If going for the micro mini I'd get it now with that deal! Maybe there won't be snow on the ground all winter? It's target? And the one that is best is the micro mini kickboard scooter? ETA: I ordered it. I'm such a sucker. Eta2: Amazon has select colors for 49.99, as well. And the pink is on sale there for 42.99, if anyone else is considering it

I'm now re-ordering the stupid doll ice cream truck J wants since it's now an 15% off at Target.

I don't think I know the doll ice cream truck, but I don't dare show it to Josie. She's in the want-everything-she-sees stage. And I am usually too happy to comply (my bank account would not agree)

And I am usually too happy to comply (my bank account would not agree) it's the our generation one from target for the 14 inch dolls. He saw it in a random aisle at Target a month ago and told santa about it this weekend. I'm kind of hoping he forgets, but buying it in case he doesn't and it sells out. Of course the boy doll is sold out 😔.

I'm banking on N eventually actually using it with a doll someday

Ok, so we have good friends who moved out of state a few years ago. Before they moved we would typically exchange small Christmas gifts. They'll be in town for Christmas and we have plans to see them the Thursday before Christmas and I'd like to get them a little something. They're flying and have a 9mo old. Any ideas? I could do craft Michigan beers to enjoy while here, but that's the only idea I have right now.
