I myself think that finding the right gift can sometimes be difficult. What I think is that people tend to like unique gifts that are hard to find and not sold in stores. People like the gifts more this way since they cannot be replaced. I have been buying a few items from www.thinkfuntoys.com and giving it away to friends and family. They all love it. There are a few quite interesting tech items there. The stuff there are pretty cheap and unique and they deliver fast. Great post!

A bottle of a favorite drink is always a good gift. Now, all they need to do is come up with a bottle of Jack Daniels that will check my email for me! A guy can dream, I guess. Thanks, Ana.

I think the most expensive present I bought this year for Christmas has been a single barrel bottle of Jack Daniels! But it's worth it, considering the person loves Jack Daniels and has never tried this one! Plus second expensive a harmonica and a 'how to play the harmonica'. Other than that I have been making my own gifts or have been winning gifts in Giveaways! .-= Ana´s last blog ..<a href="http://expressiveworld.com/?p=2982" rel="nofollow">Grounding roots; Spirit Connection</a> =-.

Priced at about $50-60 for PC and $60-70 for consoles, and ridiculously awesome... Also, the PS3 Slim fits into the budget here and is still the best blu-ray player for your money, and is no affordable if no longer backwards compatible. You could always see if you can find a 60gig on Craigslist or something, if you really want to wow the truly geeky. :P I would like a Skype phone. With Skype actually built in. Yep.
