Santa’s Swag

Posted by AdamT | Filed under Culture

I decided to follow up the lighter post of a few days ago with a list of gifts and observations that I have compiled in the last year or two of gift giving.  Currently my wife and I are limited on financial resources so most gifts here will put more emphasis on the thought process and be under $40 (my how times have changed).

Three notes about giving gifts that apply to close relatives and office workers alike:

  1. Kosher  - It is imperative that you consider the person whom you are giving the gift.  Do they have allergies, what are their styles, what do they enjoy.  I find many things cool (especially tech gifts) but they would be horrible gifts to some other people (especially to anyone over 50).  Once again, it depends on what the recipient enjoys and can use, not what you like or think is cool or useful.
