Cheap Gifts That Have Improved Your Life -

[chunkygoth]

I don't have any good gift ideas this year and I don't really want to spend a ton of money on present someone may not use or enjoy. Some of the best presents I've gotten in my life weren't the most expensive ones, but the ones I used frequently. I was wondering if any farmers have either given / received inexpensive presents that they got a lot of use out of.

Just to start off, I would recommend a PopSocket and some Paine's cedar incense. The PopSocket keeps me from dropping my phone, which I used to do all the time. The cedar incense is like 5 bucks for a big pack and one cone makes my whole house smell like a campfire.

Edit:
Also a weighted blanket, I completely forgot about it but I use it every day and just got another. You can get a pretty heavy one on amazon for less than 100. I have problems falling asleep because I don't stay still. My weighted blanket doesn't make me go to sleep immediately but I go to sleep more quickly and stay asleep all night. Also, it is so cozy in the morning.

Books tend to be pretty cheap and always make good gifts.

I got a power bank from an office Secret Santa deal one year ($20 limit on gifts). That thing has been a lifesaver.

A bath-robe. I wear it around my house like a smoking jacket, and don't bother turning the heat above 55 anymore. It's probably saved me hundreds of dollars over the years. Fortunately, my dignity is worthless to me.

Cheap track suits. Really, why wear anything else if you're not at work.

Broad brimmed hats. Skin cancer can fuck off, and baseball hats are worthless.

Large coffee cups.

Edit: And for the elderly in your life: cheap, clip-on MP3 players pre-loaded with classic rock. They'll think you're a fucking sorcerer.

Store-brand soda. I used to get Big K all the time when I worked at Kroger, good stuff.

Now I head down to Walmart after work and occasionally pick up a pack of Sam's Choice.

Mission ratchet belts. Best thing I've ever bought.

A Robe is a great idea. I got one as a bridesmaid gift that I wear to this day. I didn't think I'd use one until I got one, and now I use it all the time.

[Botched Tit Job]

One of those plastic microwave food covers that not only helps your food cook evenly but prevents it from splattering all over the microwave.

 

[The Last Stand]

Socks and underwear.

 

[AbyssStarer]

Socks and underwear.

getting underwear from people besides your SO would be fucking weird, and unless theyre everyday socks, they're useless and slippers are better.

 

[BerriesArnold]

Hand warmers, the ones that you can stuff in your pocket to keep your fingers from freezing on a cold day. I remember some friends laughing about that and then thanking me profusely when they desperately relied on them.

 

[Coldgrip]

A beating. It costs you nothing and the person receiving it will always remember you.

Custom commissioned furry futa vore porn.

I always wind up with several gallons of cologne and aftershave every Christmas, much more than enough to last through the year. I have never had to buy my own. Seriously.

Also, those little cheese and sausage sampler sets that come with these things for some reason:

A timely infusion of cured German sausage can mean the difference between a good day and a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
