Yet again, I’m buying gifts for people and need gift ideas. This crowd really came through last year and I’d love to try it again!
I don’t want to make rules, but I think we need a couple:
- Let’s at least cap them at $50ish. Telling people you want a DJI Drone, a Steam Deck or PS5 simply isn’t realistic. I’m not looking for ideas in that price range (even though I’d probably love all these, myself).
- Avoid intimate stuff. I’m not talking sex toys (though avoid those too - I’m not buying my sister-in-law a dildo), but more things that are really personal like jewellery, watches and stuff that you need to know the person’s tastes to get right.


omg this is brilliant. I have had mini screwdriver sets taken from me at airports, so effing annoying. this is perfect and they appear to be from $2.50 if you want to wait to get it from China, or around $10 in AU on ebay, so possible to still get. what exactly is the usb (device?)
The utili-key looks like a regular key on your keyring, which is why I’ve never had it confiscated at airport security. Frankly if you can hijack a plane with one of these things, you can hijack a plane without one of these things.
The USB is a “Lacie imakey”. Lacie has since been assimilated into one of the big hard drive companies (Seagate I think). These USB keys are a victim of their success. You just buy the one, and never need another. This one is over ten years old.
And now I have 4 of the first and 1 of the second on their way to me. Thankyou!!
