- Grooming gifts make good presents whether you're shopping for a man or a woman. For a man, purchase a toiletry kit he can take with him when he travels. These kits usually include shaving cream, aftershave, face lotion, shampoo and lip balm. For a woman buy lip gloss sets, makeup kits, grooming sets that include a multipurpose brush, a mirror and small scissors and cosmetic bags in a variety of bold colors.
- Choose from several retro novelty items suitable for both men and women. Buy the classic barrel of monkeys and have fun watching the recipient try to link the monkeys. Buy a Magic 8 ball that answers questions you ask, a Mr. Bill bendable action figure or a Gumby flexible doll, a classic diner coffee mug, refrigerator magnets in different shapes such as a burger and fries and a Smiley Face affirmation ball you shake to receive a daily compliment such as "You look marvelous."
- Though many gadgets on the market are expensive, there are some under $10. If you're buying for someone who has a computer, consider a USB drive for more external memory. Buy 4 GB drives for under $10. For a more old-school choice, select an AM/FM pocket radio or a miniature key chain flashlight. For do-it-yourself recipients buy a screwdriver set or a cordless, electric screwdriver with interchangeable bits.
- You can also select from among a variety of items you can have engraved as gifts. Personalize a key chain or a set of miniature photo frames. Engrave miniature place card holders, taper candles, luggage tags, manicure sets, silver bottle openers and chrome bottle stoppers. Personalize a set of chopsticks or a seashell with something fun or inspirational. If you're buying for someone who loves to bake, select heart-shaped cookie cutters and have them engraved. If your gift is for someone who just had a baby, purchase birth announcement pens engraved with the name of the child.
