Odd gifts they'll thank you for (eventually) - a list by esh

Options for This Page

About this list:

Growing up, Christmas gift giving was partly about finding something the other person would like and partly about finding something that the other person would never have guessed was inside that wrapping. It was a badge of honor to give the most unusual gift, something that perhaps nobody else in the world was receiving that holiday season. In your family, the expectant smile may turn into a puzzled "Huh?" but weeks later you'll get a "Thank You", or maybe it will take years, keep waiting...

I am a bit odd myself

The Entertainment Book

First to recommend

Description

My family and some of my extended family have purchased the Entertainment Book each year for probably a couple decades now and it remains a great value.
* Almost all of the coupons have real value: buy 1 get 1 free.
* There are a ton of restaurants in your area.
* You can discover new restaurants using this book.
There are a number of other very good discounts available in the Entertainment Book including hotels, car rentals, movies, etc. but I use it almost exclusively for restaurants. It pays for itself in a couple dinners so why not try it? (via Mom & Dad)

AAA membership

Description

I used to own cars that broke down so often AAA lost money on me every year with all the tows I needed. Even though AAA is making a profit on me now, it's still worth the peace of mind and convenience for the occasional jump start or tow. (via Mom & Dad)
