Yet Another Holiday Gift Guide
ptorrone writes "I was tired of seeing all the gift guides that had a lot of useless junk, since I work at MAKE Magazine I thought I'd try another approach and write a gift guide for holidays that might be useful for people that like to make stuff." Most of the stuff here is under a hundred bucks. There are many great ideas in there that could get you on your way to some stupid hack.
most of this stuff is pretty hard to do.
I think my family would be upset if I gave them makefiles for their gifts instead of the gifts themselves... :P

My mom said she wanted something for Christmas that would make her happy, I'm planning to build a dopamine molecule with toothsticks.

I want to get this for my SO so bad, just so I can take a picture of her face when she opens it. The only problem is she will then proceed to beat me with her new PVC whackin' stick, so maybe not.

...not to buy a crappy present.
I had picked one up in the shop before I remembered that I live on my own and I've got no-one to shoot them at!
This, my friend, is why god invented cats.
That's the only thing I want to make for Xmas.
We recommend the Nut-O-Mat 3000 for Christmas. This new model, from Wundo Electronics, features the finest lunatic sensors on the market. The patented "Mad Thoughts X7" detector, which can spot a delusion, psychosis and even some neuroses at up to fifteen feet, is included as is the "Jabbering Relative" sensor net, which can spot the lunatic relative at a family gathering in time for you to get out of the way. This new model runs off of ten AA batteries and features a handsome shoulder strap in six designer colors.
Just look at our testimonials!
"I bought the Nut-O-Mat 3000 in preparation for Christmas, and it spotted my uncle who believes you can turn water into unlimited power by brain waves. It saved me an hour of 'those physicists don't know nothin', let me show you why I know better!"

"The Nut-O-Mat 3000 saved me from two crazy boyfriends. One turned out to be a UFO enthusiast, while the other thought he was good in bed."

The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
got oa thrift store, get the uglies dree you can find. Maybe something with a stain, and definatly the wrong size.
Put it in a very nice box, and have it wrapped professional in expensive paper. Something gold.
Set it where she can see it. Anticipation is great.
Get something VERY Nice that can be put under some paper that the dress sits on in the box.
Take a picture just as she opens the box and sees the stained monstrousity.
This is not only funny, but you will get to see the fake 'oh it's nice ' face. Always good to know.
Then when she setis it aside, point out the other gift.
this is very funny, but be sure the other gift really is nce. Like diamond earings, or a gift card for a new car.
I did this to my third wife...
