#gifts - #Need to spend another $3 - 8. Ideas??


For a bit of background: It's for my family's Yankee swap, we have a $30 budget (can go little under or over if needed). It's just for the adults, but I think there could be bonus points if those with kids can make use of the gift with their kids as well. My family is my parents (both in their mid-60's), my two siblings and their partners (all 4 in their 40's), and me and my husband (I'm late 20's and he's early 30's).I've bought a game called Castles of Burgundy Dice Game for my main present but want to make a "gift basket" of sorts because there are a few people who may not want a board game (mainly, my dad). My siblings and their partners (even my mom) would play this easy to play and travel with game and they can enjoy it with their kids which is great and will be good because they are all going on big trips next year so could be useful for the airport.The reason I wanted to make it a gift set is so that I could buy some other items that fit the theme (being "influential sovereigns" looking to "expand your estate" in the Burgundy region of France in the Medieval period) so that those less inclined to play the game would still have something to enjoy. The game itself was around $12. I got a dice tray that looks like castle stones/pavement slabs for just under $4 (some of them those in the grab also play D&D so thought it could be useful to them outside this game) and I got some burgundy wine soap for just under $5 (just seemed like a fun idea).I've have spend about $21 and a bit total thus far and need to spend the rest of the budget (so around $3-8). Obviously I could go with a bottle of actual wine and some cheese/crackers to accompany (and might look to get a mini bottle), but was hoping for some ideas of other items that would match this theme and be fun/funny/useful/etc. to non-gamers. It can be silly/stupid stuff, I'm not fussed...just looking for ideas to get my creative juices flowing.Thanks in advance! (got loads of other themed game gift set ideas I can share if anybody is looking for game-related gift sets they want to buy to get somebody into gaming, this just seemed the easiest to execute with my family). via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/a2ew3h/need_to_spend_another_3_8_ideas/?utm_source=ifttt
