UE (Ultimate Ears) Mini Boom speakers

This 50-foot range bluetooth streaming machine is perfect for your music needs. Its small design – about the size of a box of Pop Tarts – makes it easy to transport. Plus, it’s wireless and lasts for about ten hours before it needs to charge off of a mini USB cable. It also has an auxiliary cord jack and is just really awesome. At Walmart, it’s about $100, but it’s well worth it if you need some music outside, in the shower, in your purse, wherever. This is a great buy for your traveling music lover.

Turtle Beach headset

If you’ve got a gamer on your list, but don’t really know what to get, then this is a great idea. Turtle Beach is a good brand in gaming equipment and no gamer will say no to a new headset. To some the big, bulky ear covers of the headset look ridiculous, but most gamers would appreciate a better set of ears.

Keurig coffee maker

Along with the speakers and the headset, this can be a bit pricy. The cheapest full-size Keurig coffee maker now is about $100 before tax, but it’s so, so worth it. Guys and girls alike tend to enjoy coffee or tea, be it hot or cold. The only slippery side to purchasing this, however, is the commitment of the gift receiver to buy coffee cups, K-Cups, creamers, etc. All thoughts aside, this is a great gift for the coffee/hot chocolate/tea lover in your life. And don’t forget it’s super easy to use, so grandma and grandpa might like it too.

Contigo traveling coffee mug

Contigo is fabulous. The traveling coffee mug has a sleek stainless steel body with a simple plastic top that has an Autoseal feature to keep your mug sealed up (unless you push in the button to take a drink, of course.) This dishwasher-safe mug is a must for coffee or hot chocolate drinkers on the go as it keeps your drink warmer longer than many other traveling mugs. This $20 investment is well worth it.

Otterbox phone case

It can be hard for someone to get over spending $50 on a phone case, so giving it as a gift can be a much-appreciated gesture. The only bad part is you’re the sucker spending the 50 big ones. Otterboxes are effective and sort of stylish. They definitely keep your phone safe, which is obviously the big purpose of buying it.

Nike socks

This may seem random and weird, but it’s so nice to get these expensive socks at your own non-expense. Like the Otterbox, it can be difficult to get yourself to drop a bunch of money on a brand name, but the brand name is a brand name for a reason. Nike socks last forever and are way comfortable. The only downfall is that you might get addicted to them and find that cheaper socks just don’t make the cut anymore. Oh, and if you’re the gift-giver then you have to try and find out sock sizes, which can be awkward. Good luck.

Monthly subscription to something

Often gifts are received and the newness of it wears off before too long. If you give a subscription as a gift, then each month the receiver has something to look forward to and might think of you and how awesome you are each month. There are plenty of options ranging from monthly wine to monthly brownies, but you can always keep it simple and just do a magazine subscription or even a Netflix subscription.

Vehicle detailing session

If you live in the Midwest, this can be kind of a strange gift during dirty winter months, but it’s a good present in the long run. Car detailing is a pain and giving the gift of less work is a win. Prices vary between stores, but it shouldn’t be too expensive. It only sucks because it’s not a physical gift at the time (unless it’s some sort of certificate or card) and the receiver may forget about it when the weather warms up. Purchase at your own discretion.
