My family does a secret santa (we call it Chinese - no racist) gift exchange where we buy a gift for $40-50 and play a game where you first pick a name of a family members and then a numbers and when it's your turn you either steal a gift or open a new one from under the tree that you think the family member you have will like.

I s--- at thinking of ideas. Anyone do the same? If so, what did you buy? We try to stay away from alcohol as it requires little/no thought. I'm an electronics guru but not a lot you can buy for $50.

Thinking about a streaming device like Roku or Chromecast as I think all except my oldest Uncle would like it. The Ouya is also a great idea as it does the streaming and has the old gaming console emulators.

On the non-electronics side, I always buy a good assortment of rubs, marinades, and seasonings from Cabella's. Could buy a bunch of that and have the wife put together a basket for me.

I got an ouya... There's over 1,000 games for it now. Wish there was more support out there for. I have a roku 3 on the TV in my kitchen and a chrome cast I leave in my RV... I kinda like the roku better.... I'd like to check out Amazon's fire tv sometime. I know chrome cast, fire stick and roku stick are all around $40 now.

Thumbdrive or Chromecast would be nice

Portable Bluetooth Speakers are fun too

Last Christmas I bought a nice bluetooth speaker I got on a crazy Black Friday deal and my oldest uncle who uses technology and electronics the least ended up with it and I could see it in his eyes that he didn't know what the h--- he was gonna do with it.
