Time for another fun contest We've got a $50 Amazon Gift Card to give away along with 15 Black Friday T-Shirts.
 
To be entered to win, reply to this thread with a link to something on Amazon that you think would make a unique gift idea and post a sentence or two about what it is and what kind of person you think it would appeal to.

If you need ideas, Amazon released their Holiday Gift Guides and Holiday Toy List this morning. They also started their Epic Daily Deals pre-Black Friday sale.

The contest will run through Tuesday, October 13th at 11pm ET. At that point I'll randomly pick someone to win the $50 gift card and 15 more people to win Black Friday t-shirts. As always, if you've already won a t-shirt you can't win another, but you can try for the $50 gift card.

IMPORTANT! You can post & enter the contest once per day for up to 10 total entries. However to make things easier when picking winners, please do not post entries in the thread more than once per day. You can add additional items to your original post for that day if you'd like to post additional gift ideas.

For more info on this year's shirts and to order them if you wish, see this thread.

Good luck to everyone!

Dr. Squatch natural soap. My husband turned his nose up at this when it was gifted to him... but 2 years later, he hasn't used anything else!
The Pine Tar is is favorite.
The scents are "man scents". I plan to also get some for my 2 sons, as they have recently switched to bar soap as well.

This gift idea is for the cat person(s) on your list! I buy these all of the time because my cat adores them! She has a bit of a sensitive tummy and doesn’t care much for solid treats, so this treat paste is perfect. It’s like gogurt for kitties!

I have one of these on my counter.  Had it for nearly a year.  Going to use next Sunday for the first time.  It was an impulse buy (less than $100).

My daughter wants these. I don't get it, but I'm old and don't get a lot of things!

My 13 year old wanted these for his Birthday and I felt the same way... Really, these? I have to admit though, they look really cute around his ceiling and he changes the colors all the time. I recommend mounting tape to ensure they stick to the wall. The stickers it came with weren't great.

For those still a little concerned by being out in public or just wanting a quiet night in there are some great puzzles out there.

This wooden lion puzzle is made up of colorful pieces where no one is alike and are all cute animal shapes:

https://www.amazon.c...0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

This one of the planet Mars would be super difficult because of the lack of distinct color change and would be good for more advanced puzzlers:
