National Geographic’s bike book sounds awesome for my cycling buddies. But $35 for a book? Hope it’s got some really good routes in it.

Love the idea of helping elephants with those plush toys, great to see gifts that give back, but hey, $105 for a stuffed animal? Seems a bit steep…

Those date night cards seem like a cute idea! but are the activities actually doable or just cheesy stuff? don’t want to end up with a dud date night.

The football book sounds cool but putting Tom Brady at the top? C’mon, there’s gotta be some bias there, right?

Baby phat’s back? that’s so cool, takes me back to the 2000s! not sure about those low-rise jeans though, weren’t they kinda uncomfortable, lol.

A little skeptical about the ‘tiny house living’ gift idea, seems like a niche thing, not everyone’s cup of tea… and $400 for 3 nights? might as well book a regular hotel.

Those kitchen gadgets sound fun, especially the loch ness ladle, haha. Might pick one up for my sis who loves quirky stuff in her kitchen. But, is it really durable? dont wanna gift something that breaks in a week.
