Unisex Gift Ideas - $30

[RunninTeach]

I have to buy a gift for a unisex gift swap I do with the adults in my extended family...Ages range from 30s - 60s. This is always such a creative, thoughtful group. Any ideas? TIA for any suggestions.

A Swiss Army knife or a small Leatherman

Thanks, Dave! Now a dumb question: what is a Leatherman?

Such a wide range - gift cards? a really nice scarf?

I know! That is the tough part. I'd like to try to avoid a gift card, if possible. It's a challenge every year.

It's the brand name for a pocket multi-tool.

Yes, yes, I see...I'll bet your Leatherman goes very well with those leather @ssless chaps you like to wear. :7

I like the planner idea.

I think unisex is tough. I don't think you should even buy a scarf if you don't know the gender. However, you can buy a pair of those 180 earmuffs. My DH and I were actually fighting over who gets to wear these today:

How about a little basket full of coffee stuff-if you go into Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks they have fun stuff you can get. Chocolate covered espresso beans, coffee mugs, to-go mugs, coffee itself, etc.

Or maybe a nice bottle of wine?

I'm sure you could find something small at Target or Kohl's.

Thank you for the responses. The fact that it is unisex *is* what makes it so darn challenging. Last year, some bought gifts that were gender-specific but generic: i.e. a tool kit, a VS gift card. I might have to go that route.

Appreciate the ideas!!

I have it. I'm going to get a Livestrong baseball cap plus a Dick's gift certificate.

Book; cd; game; wine; food; dvd; coffee; calendar; movie, theatre, play, or symphony tickets; gift certificate to a nice restaurant; picnic set; gift certificate for a cooking, writing, painting, drawing, etc. class.

Thanks, everyone, for the great suggestions!

I went with the Livestrong hat and Dick's gift card.
