    Two stories for you Pete:
    One of the best gifts I have been given was a 1 oz ingot of tungsten. Totally useless, would never have bought it myself, but it's cool to just have and hold and look at.
    Second story: many years ago, my dad noticed that his dad's garden hose was absolutely wrecked - clearly used well beyond it's use by date. It was held together with bits of duct tape, and leaked all over the place. Dad went and bought one of those really nice kink free expensive hoses from bunnings. He basically ruined grandpas birthday - he hated it. The hose sat unopened in the corner for ages, while the crappy old broken hose continued to be used. I guess the moral of the story is that just because a gift is functional, and probably necessary, doesn't necessarily make it a good gift!

    Generators would definitely be a niche gift. You need appropriate storage space for an adequate amount of fuel, access to non-ethanol fuel, a plan to rotate your fuel supply so it doesn't go stale, run the generator under load at least monthly, and have the physical ability to move the generator and fuel cans and start the generator. Granny's gonna love it!

This year everyone is getting knives…BPS chef, kids get dbk version, skramas and puukos too. A few years ago I got everyone different cool clocks and another year it was nice scarves. Everyone raves about my gifts except my mom…she gives hers away right in front of me every year. She’s getting a donation to Ukraines children fund this Christmas but everyone else is getting cool knives

    Good list, definitely housewarming gifts though! I have a big family so at Christmas I try and get everyone a cheap indulgance, like a good pair of socks, a book, a box of chocolates, simple stuff like that which you're always glad to get another of. For birthdays for my pals I always try and think of something personal to them, if I think of something for them through the year I'll take a note on my phone and save it for their birthday.

  • @nandayane

    I select gifts in the same way Pete does, my wife liked Pete’s list. People definitely do love a practical gift if it meets their needs.
    Greatest hits, Gifts that people used:
    IR laser thermometer: $20, gave it to a fried as a gift, she ended up using it all the time to check the radiant heating in her house. My dad uses his to check how his pans are pre-heated before frying.
    Air Frier: $50 USD, gave it to my dad he was skeptical but it’s utility to cook through meat from the freezer well, create perfect fries, and the fact it’s small and had almost no preheat, and it uses less energy than a normal oven time won him over. He and his wife fight over it now. It can do about 80-90% of what you use an oven for.
    Japanese Computerized Rice Cooker: $70-90USD
    Makes perfect rice every time, has a steamer basket to prepare your veg as well, it is well loved by anyone who keeps fucking up rice made in a pot. Which will be most parents.
    Gifts with mixed reviews:
    Decent quality kitchen knives: $20-40USD.
    Was really more of a gift to myself by way of not wanting to sharpen gummy shitty steel every time I come over. Half people use them, half do not. Babbish’s clef knife is very nice good for $20ish, and Vosteed’s Morgan chef knife is really fancy for around $30-40 on sale. Both sharpen up very well.
    Work Sharp guided sharpening system $40-80 USD: everyone I have recommended it to loves it, everyone I have given one to doesn’t use it, best with new knife in decent steel that isn’t clapped out. Most people are afraid to sharpen their knives, most kitchen knives are so blunt that it takes a very long time to bring them back to sharp with anything resembling a decent edge. If you give this type of gift, I recommend that you teach someone to use it to build their confidence with it.
    Decent quality work knives: Spyderco Byrd knives are well received, as are Mora work knives (robust, companion, ect) I’ve given away a lot of civivi knives, and a hogue deka. Just depends if someone will carry a knife or not. It’s more of a gift to yourself if someone is always asking you to sharpen their knife.

    I think a dash cam would fit into this list well.
    Christmas gifts can definitely be useful, brother asked for a bassine bristle outdoor broom for example, but an element of "nice thing I wouldn't buy for myself" is good, that just differs from person to person. I'm just concious of space when gift giving, not everyone has a lot of space, and that can be more valuable than percieved usfeulness. Power bank is small but useful, an electric frypan takes up a lot of space in a small kitchen and might only be used once of twice.

    She is right about the contents of generic first aid kits. The consumables are generally shite. If you want to buy a first aid kit, you should look into medical kits from companies (North American Rescue) that are tailored for paramedics, first responders, hunters, military, etc. Those will have quality items, and will include actual trauma gear like tourniquet, chest seal, trauma bandage, compressed gauze, etc., that generic first aid kits from big-box stores rarely include. You can find a lot of quality compact kits for under $100 USD. Then, you can add stuff that you would use more often for minor injury and illness like waterproof bandages, topical ointment, and medications. I think this type of kit for a vehicle would make a good gift.

    As an “old guy” that has just gone out a purchased most aII the gifts you listed as needed. The gifts that have endured over time are things I would not typically purchased for myself and have developed a memory and/or sentiment. They have become treasured so to speak. IE...if I needed a good knife, I would go get an SRK to beat on. While say a TRC would be like Wow on X-mas morning...

  • @mcsquirgle

    For the record, I would be absolutely thrilled to get a gasoline powered generator for Christmas. I think part of the reason Pete and his wife are so far apart in their ratings of the gifts is the context of the holiday itself. Pete has a point that the gift doesn't have to be steeped in the blood of santa clause to be good, but for some people the magic of the holiday does need to be prominent somehow. I don't need that.
    Also loved the master and commander on Blue Ray bit. I love that film and nobody else in my family does but me.

    A few years ago I gifted Prometheus Lights MXS Standby emergency flashlights to a bunch of family members. I was super excited about it. Got a bunch of 3/10 reactions and I’ve never heard of anyone mention it since. I feel you, Pete.
