I need some holiday gift ideas (that I will probably gift to myself as well)!

I have recommendations that depend entirely on lifestyle, so not great general stuff but amazing for the people they're for:

  • Wurkkos FC11 Rechargeable LED Flashlights Max 1300Lumen High 90CRI EDC Flash Light USB C Charge,IP67 Waterproof Torch, Magnetic Tailcap, Great for Dog Walking Home use Emergency(5000K) https://a.co/d/fncjQhi

This flashlight is light, bright, cheap, and USB C rechargeable. It has a magnet in its ass so you can easily mount it and do whatever you're trying to do hands-free. As a power plant operator who runs around outside or climbs inside of condensers and tanks and shit, this thing was incredibly handy. Probably pretty good for hikers and campers too.

It doesn't necessarily need to be this exact pair, but Darn Tough brand wool socks are the general recommendation. They reduce impact, wick sweat/moisture, and they're comfortable. This is the only kind of socks I will wear at work or else my feet hurt and itch and stink.

  • OontZ Ultra Bluetooth Speaker, Portable Wireless Bluetooth 5.0 Speaker, 14 Watts, up to 100 ft Bluetooth Range, IPX7 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker (Black) https://a.co/d/dXlV5bY

It's a surprisingly good sound quality waterproof Bluetooth speaker. I take mine into the shower and listen to music. You could use it in the kitchen, outside in the yard, etc. but mine is pretty much entirely used in the shower or sometimes the bedroom ๐Ÿ˜‰

Obviously not for everybody, but these are great bang for your buck if they suit somebody you know!

Out of those 3 options, I would prefer the flashlight.

Even if you already have a flashlight, you can always find another place that would benefit from one nearby.

I also just say that I don't buy in at all to Darn Tough socks. This person can't where any other brand of socks? Bullshit. You can just buy new generic socks before you get anywhere close to the price you'll pay for gourmet socks.

Also depending on the person's interests, getting them a boardgame could be nice.

Depends on the person, but "nice" versions of food or beverage products that they enjoy. Things like coffee beans, chocolates, beer/wine/liquor.

Especially so if it's for a friend that lives far away and you gift them something local to you that they can't easily buy.

Weed LSD Shrooms

And any meat leftovers or treats for these guys

If someone you know has/if you have kids: car vaccumn. It's thoughtful, useful, easier than stopping by the gas station just to clean out the family truckster, and you can find them for around $25 at Walmart.

Greenbell Nail Clippers. They're expensive, like $20 but holy ducking shirt are they amazing.
