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:

  1. 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).
  2. 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.

      Yep I know, but this thing is built like a nuclear bunker. Honestly: 11 years of daily carry, being knocked and crashed and squished about like a set of keys. Even Gotten wet a few times. I have doubts they make them on temu or eBay like this thing.

      Lacie made the “rugged” range of disks and this is representative of their build quality. It’s only 32gb, and only usb2. I wish it were bigger and faster, but I’ll take its amazing toughness over those traits.
