24 Last Minute Gift Ideas Under $150

[citation][nom]3lvis[/nom]Cash/Gift cards are the worst present. The message it sends is that you didn't care enough to ask what they really wanted.[/citation]
Yeah, I agree. Nothing says "This is exactly how much I think you're worth" quite like a gift card.

Some of this is useless and destined for the landfill imho. PCB Xmas tree? Waste of space, energy, money, raw materials and time. Bad for the environment, absolutely zero upside - other than having solved the 'what shall I buy them' question with the answer "some useless novelty crap". Just give them $150 or any fraction thereof! They'll probably be much happier and the landfill will have a little less in it. If you're going to list crap, where's the worst ever invention? The one that really shouldn't exist at all? - The dreaded musical bog-roll holder! Come on Tom's. You're always talking about saving energy. How about a list of 25 ETHICAL gifts for under $150 that will somehow benefit the recipient. For example, the Kill-A-Watt energy monitor, the recipient will save money as a result and learn about saving energy. Everyone's a winner. What do you mean it's no fun?! It's more 'fun' than that PCB Xmas tree! At least products on the list should retain some residual value allowing them to be 'recycled' via eBay etc. Not sure you could eBay a used PCB Xmas tree! If consumption with no retained value and low ethics is a good gift, why not just give someone a pack of cigarettes, and some fireworks? At least kids really enjoy fireworks.

Giantbluemarlin: Not everyone cares about the enviroment and land fills you know. I quite like my useless crap that gets thrown away after a few uses. It's the small things in life that count, and making hippies angry is one that I enjoy.

No one liked the credit-card sized camera/camcorder?

Thought it was pretty cool, although I'm not paying $100 for it.

Well I always buy overpriced gifts for the kids in my family I just can't stop buying gifts with creative ideas. I personally wouldn't be happy if someone bought me a 4870 512mb video card.. I would prefer to have a cool anime figure instead, maybe someone rare and uncommon. Not something I would have bought it myself for sure. But that is just me.

Guys, I think alot of you are missing the point of Christmas presents. For one, alot of the time you are buying something for the person who has everything, which means if it's not some overpriced thing where you paid extra for a Ducati decal that no right minded person would spend their own money on they have it already. Some people might be doing it tough in today's economy but keep in mind we live in the most affluent time in history.

On a side note I couldn't find anyone mention the 'Skil' screwdriver is depicted by a picture of one made by 'Bosch'.
