We have a family gift exchange coming up and I have to take 2 gifts. I spent all day Saturday shopping and came up with nothing. I always over think these things. I could really use some ideas. Here is the criteria; Unisex, young adult to grandparent, $25 - $30, no gift cards.

How about something like this?

They make a bunch of really cool tripods that you can use in pretty much any situation. The legs are super flexible, so you can hang it off a rail, anything. It's also easy to fold them up and take it with you. Pretty much everyone has a mobile phone that takes pictures these days.

Great idea. I know my girls (who are part of the exchange) would love this!

Ok, one down! One to go, LOL

My favorite go to gift idea is a gift basket. There are so many things to choose from or make your own using small Themed items like (food, bath, kitchen, chocolates, etc.)

Here is some idea that I fond at JCP's:
Gift Baskets & Food Gifts - Shop Gumball Machines, Canned Popcorn & Cookie Baskets - jcpenney

Here are some images of basket ideas form google:

Any wine drinkers? This thing is really cool!

At a swap I went to one year, the thing that everyone wanted was the cordless hand held vacuum. Kind of weird but everyone wanted it! Here is one for $35

or one for $25

Kind of cool game

Another thought is a gift certificate for an oil change, car wash etc. Those are things always appreciated.
