Haha - They are always on top of the list of 'man gifts'. We don't know if we have ever seen them used in practice.
There must be millions of small metal cubes sitting in closets everywhere.
Maybe its an uncovered conspiracy...like how flouride was a byproduct that was expensive to get rid of so they convinced you to put it in water... next conspiracy is 'smooth small square metal stones are a byproduct of solar panel manufacturing so they convinced people it was a great gift for putting into booze... :)
I think I have an idea about increasing the number of nuclear power plants without worrying about the waste. (I’m still aware of the minimal amount anyways, just jokes)
But, I’m thankful for the advice and think that they would be a great gift idea to help my Dad get some energy outside his home (assuming he’s planning on bringing whisky?)
Say I know you're into photography, I know dick about photography. So instead, I get you a gift card to B&H or your favorite photo shop, the gift card confers intent. Yes, its a rung above i don't know what to get you and a rung above getting you the wrong thing.
If you know nothing about the hobby a person has but want to fuel it with gift, better to let the person with the hobby pick out what they need for their hobby.
From a strict utility/econ perspective cash is king, but an appropriately picked gift (one that will be used) sayus i want you to enjoy your self in a more intentional way.
100%! I like some combination of no gifts / gift cards to charity / activities. My thoughts on this one are quite aligned but my $0.02 here https://bit.ly/2K7EQ41
We feel like we are in good company then. Even to the point of having 3 closets in the master bedroom and somehow having 0 closet space of our own... :)
Could have used those WSJ charts - was looking for nice visuals.
You seem a little distraught about those whisky stones sitting in you pantry. Jk, I hope you and everyone reading this had a great Christmas!

Stuck on a gift for the manly man in your life?
Considered low-grade uranium whiskey stones and really watch him light-up
Hahaha!
One little issue, I’m a guy

Ill defend gift cards a little bit:
Say I know you're into photography, I know dick about photography. So instead, I get you a gift card to B&H or your favorite photo shop, the gift card confers intent. Yes, its a rung above i don't know what to get you and a rung above getting you the wrong thing.

Fair - that is a solid example with the photography. Or a very niche hobby.
We mostly get restaurants and retail stores which is significantly less than cash.
