I'm involved in a secret santa here at work with a $100 limit. I have a really nice, electronics loving person to gift, so I want to take care of em.

Any ideas for a 26 year old male who dosen't make a ton but loves electronics? I really appriciate the help!

[ace_o_spades]

[IATA]

See, that was option 1, but I wasn't sure how he would unwrap that at dinner at a steak house with the COO in attendence =/

I'd stay away from electronics.

I'd also try to sound less enthusiastic about wanting to impress a 26 year-old guy.

We have a Keurig at work...it's awesome.

I'm going to get one for the house soon.

Ive got one in my dorm, the more high end one, and honestly its completely worth the extra few dollars. It saves you so much time, gives you lots of variety, no hassle what so ever, and makes a meaaaannnn cop of coffee.

I usually drink the high test (Columbian) in the morning and every so often have the french vanilla...which is great.

I truly believe a keurig system would be cheaper, in the long run, than dropping 4-5 bucks at Starbucks daily.

The Gloria Jean ones and Caribou Cups are my personal favorites.

Definitely agree on the savings part, and your choices sill range as much as starbucks or dunkin donuts.

Its great to have anywhere around the house and the maintenance is simple. If I was IATA or any other person Id look into this .

$100 visa gift card. guaranteed to get him what he wants

If your going that route you might as well save on tax and just give him one of these. This can guarantee anything even hookers and drugs, Visa's...not so much.

Nice guy electronics loving..... I can tell he has no idea how to satisfy a woman, that is even if he isn't gay: 59$ for his "wife" or imaginary girlfriend.....

Only reason I'm trying to impress him is because his dad is my boss, in a nutshell. He is a cool guy regardless, but it's mostly about advancing my career.

I see whore has been nominated and denied however might I suggest a trip to the Asian Massage Parlor therfore you look like you care about his well being. If it doesn't go over well you can always play stupid and say I had no idea that Ming Si wanted to give you some sucky sucky. I just assumed she'd work the kinks out of your neck.

But then he'd have to border hop to use it.

We are an office setting, I was thinking of something like an eReader, but I dunno. Most of the suggestions have been absolutly horrible, but what can I say? It's BS on TGG.

Iggy, You found the silver lining to that gift!

Just kidding to all you Canadians.

You could have gotten a Kindle for $89 on Black Friday.

An office secret Santa under ONE HUNDRED dollars? That's a lot of money. Usually they're under $20, or at most $50.

Headphones, the good quality kind (probably not the Dr.Dre ones) but their are some quality headphones available for under 100 bucks

But it's in Canada so it's much like Monopoly money.

So do you guys still have the loons on your 10 dollar bills? Nothing says we're a legit country like ducks on your currency.

going along with that, isn't their currency known as the looney?

[IATA]

Not alot of people use $10 bills anymore, so I don't know what's on em.

Loonies = $1 coin
Toonies = $2 coin



I was talking to his girlfriend, and she said he's into spy shit. So I'm gonna goto a spy store here in town and get him an audio bug or something stupid like that.

Better get yourself a spy-o-scope (made-up name for somehow to detect if you are being spied on).

So I ordered the personal elliptical off this site thinking it would be a good gift for my wife who loves to go to the gym, but with the baby due soon might not be able to get there as much....and they ship it in a box that has a picture of the damn thing on the box and a complete description of what it is. She likes the gift, but what the fuck? I might as well not even bother wrapping it. Just thought that was real retarded of Hammacher to do.

I agree at least amazon ships in a generic box.

I ship all gifts to work!

That's not an option for me. Boring morning....I actually called up the CS number and suggested they change the way they ship things and thanked them for saving me the wrapping paper. :smile:Yeah, I'm a dick.

Holiday Gift Guide 2010: Top tech gifts under $100

"The five products I selected here–the new Apple TV, a pocket camcorder, a Logitech HD Webcam, TomTom’s entry-level GPS and a Wacom tablet–all make great gifts, but they really just scratch the surface."

The older Nintendo DS Lite is also approaching $100 with the newer models (the DSi and DSi XL) on the market and a 3D version in the pipeline for next year.





The Flip UltraHD pocket camcorder would be pretty sweet, as long as he doesn't work for the Patriots.

"Eye-Fi Wireless Memory Card

Need a cool tech gift for the camera lover in your life? Consider an Eye-Fi card, a wireless SD memory card capable of uploading photos to the Web as fast as you can press the shutter button. For $99, the 8GB Eye-Fi Explore card is ideal for experienced photographers and neophytes alike, as it eliminates the work of transferring images from a camera to a PC. The Eye-Fi card automatically uploads photo and video through a wireless network or a nearby Wi-Fi hotspot to sites such as Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube."

Lego Creationary

Remember how great it was to spend hours building your own little world with Lego bricks, or to watch your kids play? The new Lego Creationary board game brings that classic feeling to the gaming table for sharing with three to eight relatives or friends. For $35, Lego Creationary comes with 341 pieces, a customizable die, and figures to build, change, and rebuild. Players draw from four decks of construction cards (buildings, vehicles, things, or nature) and assemble their own unique creations.

Pretty cool for a Audio geek-
"Micorder Portable MP3 Recorder

The MiCorder is a portable MP3 recorder capable of recording high-def audio from any stereo output and writing it as an MP3 file to an SD Card. This handy gadget is perfect for any audiophile seeking a little more creative control over their digital music library. Hear a new song you like, or an oldie you love? The $80 MiCorder plugs into any radio, computer, stereo, CD player, turntable, cassette deck, 8-track, reel-to-reel, DAT, or anything else that has a stereo output. You can record high-quality audio at your leisure, thanks to the 10-hour battery."

PS3 owner??
"PlayStation Move Starter Bundle

If you or someone you know owns a Sony PlayStation 3, you might make a gift of the new PlayStation Move motion controller. For $99 you get an introductory package that includes one Playstation Move controller, the Playstation Eye camera, and a copy of the motion-controlled game Sports Champions. The Move wand (the thing with the glowing orb) holds a triaxial accelerometer, a triaxial gyroscope, and a magnetic field sensor that work with the camera to pinpoint the controller's exact position in 3D space, what Sony marketing calls "the world’s most accurate motion gaming experience."

This is actually pretty damn cool, I might buy these as gifts...

"Roku HD-XR Player

Need a gift for the TV addict who's paying way too much for cable? The Roku HD-XR is a $99 set-top media streamer that does a superb job of streaming high-definition 1080p video from MLB.TV, Netflix, Revision3, and several smaller services to your HDTV, via ethernet or 802.11n Wi-Fi.
