Class gift exchange....?
« on: Fri, 05 December 2014, 15:22:00 »
So I have this gift exchange going on in History class...
But there's a twist. It's not like buy something that you think the other person might like.
You need to buy something that either resembles U.S. History, or something about pop culture like a rubiks cube.

I have a $15 spending limit. And I don't think I'm allowed to use a rubiks because she gave the example of one.

I don't really know what to buy at this point. Nor do I know why I signed up for this. Although, I think it's a nice experience in giving.

Go out and find a model M for $15. IBM counts as US history right?

Seeing as this is geekhack it would be infinitely better if it's keyboard related in some way. I really think finding and cleaning up a model M would be hilarious.

Trying going to a thrift store or the salvation army? My cousin once bought a flame proof aviator jacket for like $12 once, but that's beside the point.

I don't really have any ideas, but report back with what people come up with. I'm intrigued by this idea.

Check out a few thrift stores and you are bound to stumble across some interesting "pop culture"

Otherwise, a vinyl LP with an amazing cover.

$15 could get you an interesting historic coin, particularly if you're willing to take a "cull" (damaged piece, usually only kept for collectors as a placeholder for a  rare or expensive variety).

A large cent (issued up to 1857) could probably be had either "cull" or in a low grade for $15, and they're striking.

Buy her a bed sheet and tell her to make a fort out of it and laugh at all the boys in the 90's for not letting her in.
