I'm the world's worst gift giver. Have a family Xmas coming up in a few weeks and need gift ideas. Has to be $25 and under for a male. I google it and all I get are dweeby things like watches, pocket knife, Yetis and whiskey glasses. There has to be a better idea out there.

Gift certificate from Menards or Star bucks, should do the trick.

It could be anyone. We usually do a game like Secret Santa or whatever.

What, that is a terrible secret Santa, the secret is supposed to be who is getting your gift, not who are you getting a gift for. That is messed up, and no gift cards, it's like they are trying to make this as difficult as possible, in the true spirit of the season. So all you know is gender, is their an age range? If you knew the guy was a sports fan that would be something, you got nothing though, rough family dude.

Maybe not Secret Santa. It changes every year. I don't even know why we do gifts anymore tbh, it's just a booze fest. Nobody gives a shit about the gifts.

I can see that, a few drinks is sometimes the best way to spend time with family. They gave you no info, and the gift sounds like an excuse, I say a giant bag of fidget spinners with lights.
