So, I volunteered to be on an awards committee and one of the tasks we have been given is to come up with a list (5 or so) of cool gifts that cost less than $75. They want to give out the gifts as awards for hard work, etc... Each "award winner" would get to choose any one of the gifts.

Last year two of the cooler gifts that they gave away were digital picture frames and IPOD Shuffles.

Anyone have any ideas?

I dislike this type of stuff. I am great at getting people I know a gift because I know what they like/don't like but get a "catch-all" gift is more difficult IMHO.

Thanks for any and all suggestions!

well at the going rate for a decent lap dance, you can treat someone to about 15 mins...

Each religion has got their own way of making you feel like a victim. The Christians say 'you are a sinner', and you better just zip up your trousers and give the money to the pope and we'll give you a room up in the hotel in the sky.

I think even the suggestion of this where I work would land me on the unemployment line.


Good idea!

Spa package

Sporting event tickets maybe paired with team merchandise

BBQ grill w/ accessories

Membership to a gym?

Is there a resort nearby where you can get a weekend room package?

Ask businesses to help by donating part or all of the gifts. Even though times are tough, sponsorship is advertising.

Golf packages

Tour of a local brewery or winery

Boat cruise (if you're near water)

Amazon.com cert (this is what *I'd* pick if I were a winner and it was an option)

External hard drive (probably could get 500G or more for $75)

I work with a bunch of enginerds...err...engineers (not only am I a member of this club, I could have been the founder! )so far this is the best idea! What nerd wouldn't want this?



Great ideas! Thanks!



Good ideas! I hadn't even thought of the boat cruise. Baltimore is just up the road a ways and they do all kinds of cruises in the harbor there.



Good ideas. Thanks! I think grill would not work because they want to be able to hand them the gift. Also, I know in the DC area that you can barely even get a cheap hotel room for $75 with tax included let alone a room at a resort.


Kind of funny and ironic. This was the first site I visited when I started looking.

Before I could get the other people I am working with to agree on this as one of the items, it became OOS.
