Every year about this time (hey I still have 1 shopping day to overnight something) I have the same de lima.
What do I get people for xmas who can afford to buy whatever they want.
Sure I could buy everyone gift cards... or just give them money... more of what they already have too much of? Lame.
I like to give practical gifts. Things that would improve people's lives or at least what I think would improve their life.
For instance a couple years ago at some conference I noticed Greg and Brian from Best Of The Web had these giant brick like digital cameras. Seriously you could use these things for boat anchors. I got them both small canon cameras .
Last year my friend Dax started shaving his head... but using a regular razor...eeek... Anyone who has ever felt my head knows its as smooth as a babys ass and the reason for that is because of the stuff I use. So I sent him the ShoeMoney head shaving kit.
I normally do not like to send out gift cards or cash but in certain circumstances it works. For instance if a friend of yours just got an iphone then getting them a $50 apple gift card will really come in handy for music and applications they are going to need.
This year I got some very cool gifts that I thought I would share.
GetAds gave me a backpack for christmas that is amazingly awesome.
Its totally geared for the nerdy traveler. Google gave me a backpack about 4 years ago and thats been my traveling companion. Many people have sent me backpacks over the years but ive always gone back to the Google Pack. This one from GetAds is the bomb though. One of my favorite features is how I do not have to take out my laptop at airports anymore.
Facebook gave us one of the more interesting gifts. Its a $75 gift coin to donors choose. Basically they gave us $75 to give to a charity of our choice. Now that's pretty cool.
So what do you get people who already have everything?
