    Default Christmas Gifts for the late adopter?

    I don't think I have gone this late before buying Christmas gifts. Normally I have some hobby or interest, that I thrust on the recipients.

    This year, I am at a total loss.

    I tried Microcenter online today, nothing caught my interest.

    Does anyone have some good ideas for late Christmas gifts?

    I have two brothers, several niece and nieces, an Aunt (or two) to buy for.

    Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    -John

    Gift cards. Allows them to buy what they want.

    I was thinking that maybe a bullet, and a ticket to go to the range, would be good?

    Most of my nieces will probably go "Ew" but that is half the point.

    But it is also self serving, as of course I would like to go to the range. So I don't know.

    The range is also relatively expensive, now a days.

    But I still think this may be the best thing I can do on short notice?

    For sure an option.

    But I will probably do cash instead as I am looking to spend less electronically.

    Thanks, Kazoo!

    One of the things I have done for my parents for the last few years is order a fancy pre-cooked dinner from their local grocery store, along with a gift card, and have it delivered. People always got to eat.
    Math is tough. Let's go shopping!

    Food is always good, but I find it hard to plan for. I'm not sure whom will be home for christmas, or not.

    Thanks, JohnnyEgo!

    Maybe a preserved food, of some kind?

    It would be really special if I could give them a fancy, pre-cooked dinner. They have fed me so often.

    Hmmm. Thanks, JohnnyEgo.

    Mmmm, steaks.

    But, forgive me if I am wrong, but it is always Omaha Steak, baskets! $100 Steak Baskets, times, a bunch of nieces and nephews...

    But I am with you!
