I would get my dad a nice Colour Laser Printer for printing off all his business related emails/documents, as I'm slowly trying to bring him into the modern world.

Something that will benefit everyone in the family is a Dlink -AC3200 router. The range will reach outside and my mums wifi will not be crap when me, my brother and sister are using our smart phones or consoles. At least then she will not be limited to the same 20 songs on her ipad. win win for everyone.

or I can use it for next years halloween costume as a head crab (thanks to linus for the idea).

(I have multiple options in case...well, for the first item, it's not on sale when/if I'm the winner, but also so there's a bit of surprise in it for us as well.)

 

This is some giant battery. My father considered buying a tesla battery thingy for the household, but I think this would hold him over until...you know...it becomes economical to possess. Also he tends to randomly flip his breakers without shutting down his electronics first...He's not smart, but he's my dad.

 

 

When I actually asked him what he wanted, he said he wanted this sort of tool. I don't know why. But...

 

(Not prefered) Also, my family is really in to magic for some god forsaken reason. So...300 dollars worth of magic cards would be quite nice, and can be spread amongst the members. They probably aren't of the current set, so they will be useless, but...it's the thought that counts. Right?

 

 

(Total is under 100 dollars) And my mother is in to zombies (yes..I know..there's no helping her). So, I was came across a "zombie sword" but then I looked at it and it was just an aluminum piece that's got green painted on it....and costs more than a cheap but usable sword. So, let's get her that instead. And, why not give her a little zombie book (paper back) as well. But what she wouldn't expect is to get a zelda-esque gift. She still has a gamecube to play zelda on, so I think it'd be a nice match.

Dear, Linus

My mom would love a new computer because the one she using right now is so slow it takes 30 minutes to send an email that is like two sentences long. The computer she has now would cost more to fix than buying a new one, but we can't because money is too tight but if she had a new computer hopefully she could do her work faster and more productive. I think that this surface would do her well because she is always taking her computer places and this surface is good for that.

Thank you,

Nickelofyon

I would get an Nvidia Shield (http://amzn.to/1Olkdq4) for my favorite cousin.

 

My cousin likes gaming, and he has a 55" 4K TV, but he doesn't have anything to stream content at native 4K resolution to his TV. The Shield supports 4K at 60Hz, and is considered to be one of the best set-top boxes currently on sale.

I would buy a NVIDA Shield Pro for my parents.

They still doesn't have a smart TV or any dongle to make it smart, so this would be a great way for my dad to start using the Netflix account he set up years ago. Also, my younger brother could have some fun with the gaming aspect of it. 

 

Link to the amazon page (with your referral code ofc):

If I could give a gift to a non-techie, I would choose my mom.  She has always wanted one of these but I'm a young teen and can't afford one.  I am just looking for a way to pay her back and I would really appreciate it.

 

It is called a Bissell SmartClean and the link is:

Hey Linus, Nick and co,  

 

Honestly I'd love to get my sister and I a Bose SoundLink Wireless Headphones II (white) to share, since we live in a pretty tight area that doesn't allow much when it comes to how loud we are allowed to pump our speakers. Nevertheless, I still enjoy my Ellie Goulding and she enjoys her Justin Bieber, it's just that the quality of the stock Samsung in-ear headphones that came with our phones are pretty bad and very uncomfortable to say the least.

(would love to win the White variation, it's not allowing me to post the link for the White version :/)

 

Thanks and good luck to everyone!
