Cool Xmas gifts for Gamers

[Christoph the Magus]

Well, it's getting to be the time of year again where I need to find cool gaming gifts for my group. 3 years ago it was RPG books, 2 years ago it was dice bags from the gamers bag, and last year I set up a Pirates of the Spanish Main tourny and bought everyone several packs of Pirates cards.

I've started looking around for some cool stuff. So far I've found Steel Squire's website-which has some pretty neat options. Anyone have any other recommendations? Price is a bit of a factor as I'm poor-I'd like to be able to get something decent/interesting for 15-20 bucks per person. If you've got ideas or websites for me I'd love to hear them!

Thanks in advance,

Christoph

A friend told me (he can't keep secrets) that I'm getting the Special Edition PHB and DMG for Christmas.

I'm very excited about that.

Dice are always good. There's just no such thing as too many dice!

How about this? Imagine it with a grid-

Weird minis might be nice, if you guys use minis. Stuff like the Flaming Sphere and Spiritual Weapon minis from Magnificent Egos http://www.magnificentegos.com/PC_Artifacts&Dweomers.html ... want some, but not enough to rush out and buy myself some (which puts them in the cool gift category).

Interesting dice are cool. My wife has been hinting that she'd love a tube of plush dice.

Plushy Great Old Ones are always popular among the gamer crowd.

If you play Palladium games, you could always get one of their famed Christmas Grab bags and let them split up the contents however they see fit. Alternately, I'd recommend grabbing them a 'gift certificate' at RPGNow:

Or at DriveThru RPG:

You can never go wrong with Cthulhu! Check out A Very Scary Solstice, the CD (and songbook) of Cthulhu carols for the holiday season! There are even musical samples on the site you can listen to! And I can't stop ending my sentences with exclamation points! Please help me!

You can't go wrong with Amazon.com Gift Gertificates.

Or perhaps the new Call of Cthulhu silent movie?

I think you can get a better one with

Thomas & Friends Aqua Draw

Plus it comes with a little train that will follow the lines you draw on it.
