Inspire

You know the one, Mr. 'You don't need to get me anything' or Ms. 'I'll like whatever you get me'. That's not as helpful as you might think, guys. But don't fret, we're here to help you out. Whether your 'difficult' person is more creatively inclined, inspired by travel/nature, keeps up with the latest high-tech gadgets, or spends all their spare time building in their workshop (much like Santa's elves), we've got you covered like a fresh blanket of snow.
Here are our top picks for holiday gifts in 2018:

And if you're a US Citizen at least 62 years old, you can also get a $10 lifetime pass. Of course, you can also get a free pass in one of three ways: if you are currently serving in the military, if you volunteer for the National Parks for 250 hours or more, or if there's a Fourth Grader in your family.

Hands-On Gifts
HAKKO DIGITAL SOLDERING STATION | $96.72 Sure, you can buy a soldering iron for around $20, but why not help someone step up their game with the Hakko Digital Soldering Station? It heats in under a minute and you can solder at a lower set temperature for more delicate projects.
MAKEY MAKEY CIRCUIT BOARD SCIENCE KIT
$
49.95
Turn the whole world into a keyboard. A beginning kit for engineers, artists, or anyone in between, all you have to do is clip two objects together. According to the website: "Alligator clip two objects to the Makey Makey. For example, you and a banana...When you touch the banana, the computer thinks a keyboard key is being pressed, so you can type a letter, jump in a video game, take a picture or play some music." Even though Makey Makey has been around for a while, there's nothing even remotely like it on the market. It should be one of those gifts you give SOMEONE every year because everyone loves it.
