REI's got stuff that's good for gifts. Yeah, it's outdoor focused but there's gadgets good for general travel, and a good selection of bike accesories - .🎄 Dec 9, 05:11 9
- They're a good store, that's not my issue. I shop there and will likely shop there again in the future but not anytime soon. -- nm - Krusty Dec 9, 05:19
- Sadly, I bought everything I need for the winter already. I bought a new jacket, new layering clothes, new gloves and more. I don't wait for it to get cold -- (edited) - Krusty Dec 9, 05:17 7

      - I'm going to look into those sites that let you sell your gift cards. If they'll give me enough I'll do that otherwise I'll use it like you said and - Krusty Dec 9, 05:26
  - I know, but those travel gadgets have been successful gifts for me. They're small, packable, and sometimes just nifty things no one would ever buy for - .🎄 Dec 9, 05:20 3
    - I bought all my Christmas gifts already. I didn't want to wait this year and I was done by last weekend. - Krusty Dec 9, 05:24 2
      - Maybe talk to your friends and sell the gift card for cash to someone that would be willing to use it now? -- nm - Volnelk Dec 9, 05:26 1
        
        I'll ask around and see if anyone was planning to shop there. -- nm - Krusty Dec 9, 05:59
