Hello All

I am doing my Xmas shopping and would like some inexpensive gift ideas for my brother in laws.....I bought them shirts but am rethinking this idea as its so boring.......Anyone have any cool gadgets ideas that are between $20-$30 that would be great gifts.

My one brother in law loves to fish...the other loves Football and to BBQ....so I thought something along those lines...but not sure what to get!!

Help Please..I want to return the shirts.

Thanks in Advance
Linda

So What Happened?

Well 1 brother in law down and 1 to go. I bought my 1 brother in law a tackle kit and some small tool/gadget that is used for fishing. My husband says its atleast a gift that is about something he loves to do..FISH.

For brother in law #2, he likes to BBQ so I was thinking maybe BBQ utensil set and maybe a kit to make his own BBQ sauce or something...need to checkout the stores and see whats out there.

Thanks to everyone for the ideas. They were great. If anyone has any other ideas please pass them along!!! All your ideas helped!!

Happy Holidays to Everyone!!

I have 2 brother in-laws and they love hot stuff, so I get them hot sauces that are different. You can get them at Marshalls or TJ Max. THey run between $4-$9, and they really love them. Good Luck!

I just bought my husband a "conair shower radio". It was only $9.99 from bed bath and beyond. It got very good reviews and I thought he could listen to the news while he was getting ready for work.

Football guy would probably love anything related to his favorite teams. Jersey's, mugs, signs for his car window, even the really cheesey stuff like foam fingers. haha Or maybe a nice BBQ set for his grill. You could probably get a really good one for $30. Another thought, a personalized apron. That might be good to go with the grill tools.

For the fisherman Bass Pro is having a great special right now. A tin of 200 of the assorted rubber warms for only $9.99, and free shipping. It's a $25 value. I don't know if you can get it in a local store or if it's just online. Here's the website http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CFPage?s...

If you don't like that idea then you could just get a gift bag and buy $30 worth of different fishing lure. No true fisherman could resist that! I know cause my husband loves to fish too. Good luck!

I always like brookstone.com for gadgets. They have all price ranges. I guess you could also get a subscription to a magazine he would like. Barnes and Noble and Borders has the subscriptions in their stores that come in a box to wrap.

Hi Linda!

I make my brothers- in- law gift bags of baked goods (cookies, brownies, etc) Brownie mix is $$150/box and you can either make the cookies from scratch or get the pillsbury ready to bake cookies. They're always appreciative. It will also give your boys an opportunity to help you make the gifts for their uncles (if they're old enough)

Good luck!

Hi! I am actually not sure about the inexpensive gifts, but I am interested in your home based business. I did sign up on your website. Any information you can give me would be great. Good luck with X-mas shopping!
