Hey folks


I'm struggling this year, gotta buy gifts for the below people but need some help/ideas:

1 brother
1 mother
1 father
1 brother and his wife

Limit we've set is about $50.

I was thinkin a 7" digital photo frame for the mom....moms love pictures and related....and it's not tooo expensive. 7" ain't overly big, but i'm not made of money either.

Brother, i'm fairly unsure what to do, likes to drink/party, has a newish 07 jetta tdi, not huge into car stereo's.....

Dad likes computers and stuff, has a shitty old inspiron 8100, as well works at home hardware and loves the handyman stuff. Likes useless gadgets n gizmo's recently bought a satelitte radio and garmin gps. No idea what to buy him though.

Brother and wife combo, recently bought a house, he's an aircraft mechanic, they got a pair of dogs, big truck, married for about 6months now - NO clue what to get them. Maybe something for the house (which i've never seen),but no idea what for $50.

The women - not mentioned above, but i think i've got them covered.

 

OK - i gotta be honest...you guys aren't helping much so far heh. But thats OK.

Ended up with some expensive *** digital photo frame thingy, but it's neat. So mom is down.

I'm looking at satellite radio for my bro. He does a lot of driving around AB to and from work sites, some kinda up towards north like fort mcmurray, and then some down to calgary. I was thinkin satellite radio he could just take from vehicle to vehicle and have it work off whatever radio frequency.

I'm noaw at the debate of sirius vs xm. I liked the Delphi xpress rc
Delphi XpressRC Plug-and-play XM satellite radio with color split screen Includes a car kit at Crutchfield.com
color is neat!

from Sirius, there were a couple but i guess the equivalent is the sportster 5
SIRIUS Sportster 5 Dock-and-play satellite radio with car accessories at Crutchfield.com
both around $130 i guess.

Bro loves sports, so NHL, football or MLB would be kinda nice (NHL first n foremost). Any reason to lean one way or another?

 

well i only have an ideal for one of them since your bro and his wife just got a house why not get them one of them digital thermostats that read the out side temp

 

50 bucks each ... your a cheap *** j/k lmao

 

man gift card save me every christmas and ou cant go wrong with them lol good luck

 

Satellite radio is great, I love mine, I've had both XM and Sirius, went with Sirius for the Howard Stern factor, but I hear XM is slightly better for the sports and is a little cheaper monthly.....just not sure I'd give a gift that would cost them a monthly fee without knowing for sure they wont mind paying it.

 

brother 60pounder of his fave drink
bro wife combo home depot gift card
mom picture things sounds great
dads always love tools

 

Ended up with:

Bro: Portable Satellite radio
Bro: Portable GPS
Mom: Luggage Set
Dad: Palm Pilot

None of which were anywhere near the $50 limit
