For the more generic 'gift' to, say, officemates. Not something that will start a fight if they're not levergunners, for example.
Always in the market for more ideas, but here's some I've had already:
Last year I gave a pocket Constitution and Declaration of Independence from patriotpost.us (Under $1 in bulk)
This year I'm thinking either a 5-in-1 survival whistle/matchbox/compass thingy ($2), or for cheaper, an emergency poncho (under $1) both at Amazon.
What do y'all think? We're talking under $2, for perhaps 40 people. Don't want to get political with some of them. I'm not a particularly religious person.
OT- Cheap stocking stuffers

Those spring loaded glass breakers to get you out of the car when you drive into a body of water (or are left behind by and up and coming politician).

The rescue hammer was indeed something I glanced at looking for ideas, but they weren't in this price range. Certainly for closer folks. I don't picture a spring loaded one though?

Neither could I. My daughter gave them last year. Of course I can't find mine to take a photo.Idahoser wrote:The rescue hammer was indeed something I glanced at looking for ideas, but they weren't in this price range. Certainly for closer folks. I don't picture a spring loaded one though?
Sorta like an atropine autoinjector. You push against the glass until it wacks with a hard pointy end and yes, mine shattered a piece of test glass (not safety glass though). Hey I guess it is a bit too expensive at $9.95...

No seriously that is really cool, and of course I have folks I'll spend more on than the office stocking-stuffers. The idea is great! Thanks!

Looks like it has a seat belt slicer to. Neat little tool.

Re: OT- Cheap stocking stuffers
I ended up choosing an emergency poncho, $0.88 each at Wally world. I got a six-pack of those window breaker/seat belt cutters like Hobie's for several folks. $50 for the six.
Planning ahead, next year I'll do the 5-in-1 survival whistle, under $2 each and I have a year to get them so I don't have to rush delivery. For those selected folks I want a nicer gift for, there's a similar 7-in-1 for about $10.
