Hi everyone, I just posted this in another subreddit; hopefully that's ok.
​
If anyone is interested, yes, this is available for sale at Amazon here
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0765B1W6R
​
​
I'm an introverted first-time designer and online business owner
so this is all new to me - including posting on Reddit.
I created this mug because I'm a clean freak and I like minimalist designs that are pragmatic.
​
Being a neat freak helped me stay habitually organized amidst the chaos of everywhere I was working and since coffee is my daily fuel, it made sense to help the cup I'm constantly drinking that coffee from.
I began designing the product and getting all the logistics like patenting, barcodes, sourcing, etc during my downtime on daily subway rides, working 60 hrs a week as a cook.
The first 3 rounds of testers/different models have approved the current mug so it seems to work well!
However, I'm always looking for more feedback and we can always improve.
​
​
I appreciate your time and all your comments!
Also if anyone is interested in coffee, food and bad jokes -
IG: thestirlingco
​
Thank you!
p.s. I'm also seeking marketing help/possible partnership, so feel free to message me!
My 12 year old cousin wears a watch that looks very similar to this one. It's also listed as one of the most "wished for" kid's watches on amazon if that means anything.
My best/worst present like that was a photo book where the photos of me were all bad ones. Fill it with great pics of everyone else, and bad ones of her, and if you're really mean, photoshop hers a little. $5 + shipping
Hi there! :) If she is sentimental, one of my favorite gifts to give people is like a cute little book about what you love about them! Something like this!
If you want to kick it up an extra notch, I also usually do those really cheap collage prints at CVS Pharmacy or Walgreens. I’ll find a whole bunch of pictures of the individual I’m making the gift for, myself with that individual, or pictures of things we’ve done together / relate to what I write in the book and put them into the “collage” prints. I’ll cut out the pics from the “collage” and then paste them throughout the book. :) The prints at CVS are only a few cents and usually they have some sort of coupon or promo code also so it’s even cheaper to get the photos made lol. But yes, sorry for such a long answer! Hope this helps and happy birthday to your girlfriend!! Y’all take care! :)
Get him a Raspberry Pi. It's basically a mini programmable computer that someone who's into building things can turn into all sorts of useful gadgets. Here are some examples of the awesome things you can build with one.
Maybe you can get her one of those fitness monitors (http://www.fitbit.com/) they even connect to her phone and I think it's really useful to have if you're an active person. There's also this site called gifttree.com. It has all these amazing luxury baskets. What about an indoor picnic? Put the kids to bed, put on a movie and enjoy whichever gift basket purchased. You can also look into nearby spas, they might have couple packages so you both can enjoy some pampering. After watching the boys and dealing with this cat incident, I'm sure you guys can use some deep relaxation and alone time. Best of luck! Your wife is lucky to have such a caring husband :)
Maybe a camo back pack? Could be used for luggage, playing army, or school. A jansport probably won’t rip apart for a couple years at least.
JanSport SuperBreak One Backpack - Lightweight School Bookbag https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D19CCW3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_sh0SFb5WHE3KT
I think a nice blanket is a good idea, something everyone can use and no age limit. I got a really nice super soft blanket cheap on amazon that has turned into a staple on my couch. Lots of department stores have them on special this time of year.
If you are in an area where it gets cold what about a nice knit hat? I LOVE these, they come in all kinds of colors https://www.amazon.com/Thick-Slouchy-Unisex-Beanie-Black/dp/B00LWAOBR0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1479702917&sr=8-2&keywords=c+%26+c+beanie
Or a portable charger for the ipads and iphones.
If she carries a purse, Coach did a Disney line. Amazon has this cute wallet. https://www.amazon.ca/Coach-Disney-Minnie-Corner-Wristlet/dp/B07DP8S53P/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1537797265&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=coach+disney&dpPl=1&dpID=41nMMiZH6TL&ref=plSrch
Here is the tote. We obviously like nice leather stuff, and I think it's pretty masculine generally (or tomboyish on a girl), so it makes a nice gift.
Another gift for men that's always been a hit for me is tickets to a concert, if there's something he likes coming up.
What about some really nice beer glasses (like these from etsy). If you want to step it up a level, get them etched with a logo from his favorite sports team or monogram them.
I think these zodiac constellation necklaces are kinda cool. Maybe you can get a custom made one with either two charms or both of your constellations worked in?
If she travels a lot and likes to read, maybe she would appreciate an audible subscription for when she can’t read (eg driving). Amazon will finally let you buy a gift membership for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or one year:
There's a bunch of things that can be paired with it. And then Lifehacker has this guide on how to pair stuff that doesn't do so natively. She might get a kick out of automating stuff around the house.
That's the info page for the board, which is essentially a self contained computer. After that it's a matter of how creative/tech savvy he is.
A simpler option would be to pick up a surplus core 2 duo computer somewhere and install MAME with various emulators and games on it. Same idea, but simpler set up.
It's a little device, there's different versions. The basic one works as a pedometer and shows distance traveled. Other versions count calories, track sleep cycles, and pair with smartphones so you can keep track of everything at once. Here's a link to the site, they're sold at Kohls and Walmart, and online. They're supposed to be great for fitness.
Can you organize a picnic for him and your mom so that he could relax a little bit and take his mind off work for a while? Having a chance to do something else and think of something else is very important to people who work a lot. Think about his favorite meals, cook something or maybe get a delivery from the place he likes and plan a nice family dinner somewhere outside.
You say he has a projector which can also be used as a part of your gift if you make a video about him. You can do it on your on or cooperate with your mom or relatives or any friends of his and make a video about how loving, caring, hardworking and appreciated by all of you he is. Use pictures from family archives, maybe take several new ones (for example, ask people to take pics of themselves holding cute signs (something like 'We love you') and add them to the video), use songs he likes, etc. You can do the whole thing via online video maker or a slideshow app for pc and then just download it to memory card or dvd and play for your dad on his projector when you visit them.
A gift card to a makeup store could be a good idea. Same goes to accessories or clothing (like pajamas etc), if you aren't sure she'll like the stuff you can get her or don't know the right sizes, give her a gift card so that she could choose something herself.
You can also make a birthday video for her (would be great is you cooperate with other family members) or a video collage with music (songs she likes) and pictures of her through the years. If you email it to her she'll basically start her day with birthday wishes from her family which is nice imo.
You could do an indoor herb garden. My dad has one and it works really well. The herbs grow like crazy. He’s always giving me basil.
https://www.amazon.com/AeroGarden-901100-1200-Harvest-Black/dp/B07CKK8Z78
Another thing we got my son was a guitar pick punch. This is the one we got him. You can make picks out of anything thin plastic, like credit cards. He loves it. It comes with a small selection of thin plastic sheets to start with.
Pick-a-Palooza DIY Guitar Pick Punch with Leather Key Chain Pick Holder, 15 Pick Strips and a Guitar File - Black/Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012D6KT7M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_QFP0AXVHF1905RSS9G5Z?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
A tea sampler like this for example: Stash Tea Bag & By The Cup Honey Sticks Variety Sampler Including Black, Decaf & Oolong Teas - 40 Ct, 20 Flavor Assortment https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XHR26FV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_FR88KM7SYYDN0A5Z8JTM?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Stash, Teavanna, and Yogi are my three favorite commercially available tea brands (I am a tea enthusiast as well). You could also get him loose tea and a cute tea infuser. You might have a local shop near you that sells nice artisanal loose tea or you can get it online.
Have you ever thought of giving a gift that is an experience rather than material? Pre-covid this would be something like a concert ticket but during Covid I’m sure there’s still many other things you guys could do. You could get an Airbnb for a weekend, go out for coffee or dinner somewhere nice, or buy a streaming service for you guys to watch movies together.
Also for guys I always recommend food. Men love food. You could get him a really nice cake from a bakery for his birthday for example.
I took a book called "the worst alphabet book ever" once. A is for aisle, B is for bdellium. I usually add food as well, since everyone likes food. This year I'm taking "all my friends are dead" and a dinosaur grabber toy.
Mathematician here, who also loves reading and a cup o' tea.
I really enjoyed reading the book by Randall Munroe (the creator of XKCD), about absurd hypothetical questions answered rigorously by science. I couldn't put it down!
You can find it here.
Can't upvote this enough. They're always on sale at Amazon for $12. Colors only slightly more expensive.
This is an ultimate eye shadow palette that I had seen on some other thread of makeup lovers. It has a 4.4 rating on Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/Coastal-Scents-Ultimate-Shadow-Palette/dp/B008FX7B9M
If she also likes coffee/tea there is a super cute cat mug with ears on amazon! I have also found them at five below.
OliaDesign Black & White Cat Coffee Ceramic Mugs, Set of 2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SLKJAR0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_PYiVybWPGK4AY
Your friend sounds a lot like Leslie Knope from Parks & Rec. The complete series is available on Amazon for $25, and that might be a cool present if she hasn't already seen it.
I'm a horticulturalist who grows these little guys (Lithops or Stone plant) in Michigan indoors. They are easy to care for and you can buy them off amazon or sometimes they can be found at lowes of all places.
Have you considered getting him some bands? They're compact, come a variety of weight/resistances and are great for home exercise. Plus, they're affordable and can be used for working out almost any muscle set. (I've been considering getting some for hip workouts and pull-up progression).
Alternatively, there's some nice sets of tiered dumbbells for about 30-40 bucks for about 15kg of weight (if I'm converting correctly) on amazon as well. I got a set off there. The main thing is that it's a pain to have to pick up in the mail.
Maybe you can get him a cheaper drone with a camera if he likes techy stuff: amazon
Or does he like dragon ball z? You could get him some dragon ball z merchandise
These are just things I like and I’m an electrical engineer
A Dodgers party like its 1988 shirt on amazon would be cute and they’re relatively cheap right now since it’s post season baseball There’s also this awesome dodger puzzle on amazon as well! dodger puzzle
Hubby needed a gift for work and I saw an Amazon that they had this multi-purpose pocket knife that was in the shape of a crab. It wasn't too tacky looking, it looked like it would be functional. Since Maryland is known for blue crab that would be something a little less ordinary.
Other ideas would be to get some themed coasters, actually if you just search Maryland on Amazon you can find a whole bunch of stuff.
Kikkerland CD114 Beechwood Crab Multi Tool, Stainless Steel https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYLV3DR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_taa_8r9.BbZ94G17S
Seeing as she likes to read, would you consider a comic book? "Bone" by Jeff Smith is age appropriate, has strong female main and secondary characters and is overall a great read. I bought this several years ago for my 9 year old cousin and she devoured it.
Here is volume 1, of 3 on Amazon
And depending on your budget here is the complete story in one volume although this is in the original black and white, I think it loses something not having the colour.
My husband is also into tech stuff and I never know what to get him. I got this for him for Christmas on a whim and he uses it every night to fall asleep watching the office on his phone... Upgrade Phone Holder for Bed, B-Land Neck Phone Holder Gooseneck Cell Phone Holders, Universal Mobile Phone Stand with Remote for Taking Videos & Group Photos (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SJZT7Q7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_L-HiFbQKW6MCE
I saw a nice ring as well (here) but the reviews weren't very good but it did look pretty. If you have access to Amazon maybe check on there. I just typed in the Amazon search bar "girl airplane" and lots of goodies came up.
Not tech related but the first anniversary is considered the “paper” anniversary (technically that’s for weddings but whatever). You could look for a nice print or, going with the cooking motifs, get a copy of The Joy of Cooking (https://www.amazon.com/Joy-of-Cooking/dp/0743246268) and write a nice personalized note in it. It’s a classic and would be a good addition to any cooks kitchen. Happy anniversary!
You could give her
1) a subscription to the New Yorker (lotsa great writing in there)...short stories, opinion pieces etc.
2) this really fun book on creative writing...called "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott. It's super funny & not one bit boring or theorotical. It's like the bible for aspiring writers.
3) One of these awesome books.
Sounds like maybe he could use a zafu. (Not that I recommend that particular merchant, just gives you an idea of what they look like).
If he doesn't have it yet, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind is quite good.
I'm getting this book for a few whiskey drinking friends:
The Essential Scratch & Sniff Guide to Becoming a Whiskey Know-It-All
If he's already a whiskey connoisseur, then this could be seen as a bit childish, but I think it's still a hilarious gag gift.
EDIT: Then pair the book with a nice sample pack of different international whiskeys.
ATK is a great suggestion, as is Cook's Country! I think that a subscription to that or another cooking magazine like Bon Appetit would be a great gift.
Spices are cool. Perhaps choose a cool cuisine, get some spices from that cuisine along with a cookbook for it.
Cheese making kit is a killer idea.
The Betty Crocker Crocker Cookbook is a great idea. Similarly, even if her mom has it, her own copy of Joy of Cooking would make a nice start to her own personal cookbook collection.
If she is familiar with a wide variety of cooking techniques already from her mom, don't pander to her age with kids cookbooks.
Or, if you live close, you could get her a gift card to a cooking store and take her on a cooking themed date where she got to pick out her own cooking items. At that age I didn't need them, but I loved having my own knife, spatula, pan, weird gadget I've only used once, etc. She's just getting to that age where having her own stuff is going to feel really important as she starts to try and find her own identity, this gift could help support that.
My mom really likes Americas Test Kitchen. She also has a subscription to Cooks Country(you can click on the top of the test kitchen page to get to cooks country) and she seems to enjoy it. Lots of fun recipes and tips! They usually tell you about problems that might arise while you're cooking and then tell you how to fix it.
Or maybe:
stuff to cook like steak or chicken?
Chefs apron/hat?
Cheese making kit?
Herbs/spices?
My community college offers a mother/daughter cooking class but it sounds like she cooks with her mom a lot anyhow.
As for cookbooks I have an old Betty Crocker Cookbook from my grandmother and everything I've made out of it has been delicious from soups to desserts! I can't vouch for any of the newer versions but I'll bet it has only improved. I might be a little biased with this cookbook though also since it's kind of an heirloom at this point.
Does he want to get them organized in the first place? Otherwise you will come off as someone who is just tired of looking at unorganized medals. Sometimes, in all good intentions, we forget to tailor our gifts to the receiver.
If he does want those organized... then let me take a looksie....
Looking at the photo, it is a bit feminine to me. Would it help that I am a guy who is also disorganized, too? XD
Quick browse at Amazon, I would like to put my car keys in this thing:
Hope my post helps.
Give this a try. It puts a hysterical spin on pregnancy from a man's perspective.
Your dad sounds a lot like mine, including the part about being hard to shop for. I tend to make my own meat/cheese gift basket-type things for him (usually in a box rather than a basket, because he doesn't care what it looks like). This year, he's getting this jerky that I found on Amazon and some good cheese and dark chocolate. Exotic meats are a good way to go, too. None of that is really going to run you $150 unless you go big with steaks from someplace from Omaha steaks or whatever.
I'm also getting him a random cool road sign on ebay. Ebay is good for the hard-to-shop -for dads. I got him a boar skull once, old toys from around when he was a kid, random memorabilia from the area where he grew up. You may find something more in the price range there, although it's cutting it close with shipping.
For the 8 year old
- slime is always a good option (if their parents are ok with it)
- A cute journal is good
For the 5 year old
- A squishamellow
- Anything Frozen or Princess themed
I think sweets are perfect! If you want to add a small fragrance item, go check in with the store clerks. They will definitely help you find something. But if you want to go with just sweets, that is great too. They something like those alcohol/liquor filled chocolates or a sturdy coffee mug with some liquor chocolate. (Of course only if your workplace is ok with stuff like this). I think making an effort in getting nice sweets/chocolates will show you put some thought into it.
On amazon, it's alilo bunny.
We are pleased to present this updated and improved hardcover edition of the book.

Ooh, I like the fancy jars idea! I've also posted in a plant themed subreddit for recommendations for an artist plant print for some new wall art. I like the way you think! 😉 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084KPXXXR/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?pf_rd_p=0c758152-61cd-452f-97a6-17f070f654b8&pd_rd_wg=abFou&pf_rd_r=BXJ4QEM3PF1AVDHZ9Q2M&pd_rd_w=2utNf&pd_rd_r=0442d533-649f-4952-9b68-1a5dbaa7f45a&s=kitchen&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzOEZSVjNMMlVBSjJGJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDQ3NjM5MkMxS0JVU0tYNlNVQyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNjQwNjY5M1JLVVNJV1hMNjhJWiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2RldGFpbCZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1 added this one to my list!
Hand mitt is apparently what you want to search for, not hand warmer
You could get her a book with knitting patterns, such as this one with nerdy things such as star wars/doctor who/lord of the things etc http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/knits-for-nerds-joan-of-dark/1121130052?ean=9781449407919
When a person is a fan of something, s/he usually likes everything connected to it. Maybe get him something like collection figures of his favorite game/movie characters if he likes stuff of this kind? Or maybe a poster or some merch of his favorite games/LOTR/Pokemon? You can also find artists who draw portraits and ask them to draw your husband as the LOTR character or the poster of the said movie instead? Or do it yourself, if you know how to make a photo montage- then use some programs like Photoworks or Gimp and make your husband one of his favorite characters.
What about this? Its a mini record player. Or take some scrap material and make some customized record sleeves. Amazon also has mini record keychains, coasters, and even a record shaped bottle opener for under 10$. Good luck!
Have you tried searching r/mechanic or r/MechanicAdvice ? Thats what I did for Christmas. Joined the sub for his job and scrolled to see what tools they liked and were showing off or reviewing. I wound up getting some great ideas without having to make any posts. It might work for you as well. Good luck!
I saw this posted
https://www.amazon.com/32GB-Model-Flash-Disk-Birthday/dp/B018LRQ3WW
Dudes like to be pampered as well. So flowers and a card might not be inappropriate. Or maybe something like this
I was looking on aliexpress and i saw this
If you have a lot of photos of the two of you (you have to! you've been together for 10 years, my god, congrats! how did you make this??), you can make something like a video about your love story. Like, combine the pictures from the very beginning of your relationship to the photos of how you are now and make a slideshow with a cute romantic template. You can use a professional photo slideshow software like smartshow 3d or an online maker, something like bannersnack, doesn't really matter. If the program lets you to add music, go ahead and add a song you both like. And then just plan a romantic dinner and show him this little movie about you!
Or, of you don't have that much pictures... Then it's time to have a couple photo shoot haha
Haha you’re right /u/kylie_ky - it’s supposed to say hannah, but i can see how the cursive n’s are a rather hard to read!
To answer your question /u/ManInTheIronPailMask - I painted Hannah’s first and actually was still deciding what to include in the skyline :) I painted based off of the buildings Gleb included here , but soon realized I was having trouble painting a convincing statue :(
In the end, I decided to leave in some of the differences between the paintings (Michael’s stars and the bridge, the LOVE statue in some but not others) since all my roommates are different in their own ways too ;)
Pair of Fishing Forceps, Straight and Curved, Stainless Steel - Ideal Fishing Pliers for Any Fishing Tackle Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088PBNSWR/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_FGNZJ5NSS9JQ3C071NDR?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Ethereal Visions Illuminated Tarot Deck https://www.amazon.com/dp/1572819251/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_2JDY1AX7ZXWW87AFR9R5
This tarot deck is gorgeous. You could add a crystal set to go with it.
I wouldn't mail makeup because it has a tendency to break, but nail polish would be ok. Essie is my favorite brand.
Someone gave me a soft pink hoodie as a gift 15 years ago or so and it was one of my favorite gifts ever.
She'd probably like any Alfonso Mucha prints.
If your friend is into comics at all, there is one called Girl genius I'd recommend. It's free online so you can check it out before buying a book.
I have found the following to be popular:
Wallet Ninja Multitool Card
Magnetic Wristband Stocking Stuffers for Men, Strong Tool Belt with 15 Magnets for Holding Screws Nails Drill Bits, Wrist Band Tool Holder Cool Gadgets Gifts for Men Women Dad Husband Him DIY Handyman https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VSQZ54V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_WX2JN4XMFXFVY5HSPPTH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Also headlamps or lighted magnetic pickup sticks (not the toys- those grabbers for reaching things that fall)
That's a great idea!
Some of my favorite products that would be in your budget and that I think would make great gifts are a lap desk, a fleece blanket, a neck and shoulder massager (I have one from the brand Homedics, can be found on Amazon or in some stores), and this this wooden foot massager from Amazon (can be gifted with a lotion (peppermint feels extra relaxing on feet), or fun socks if you want).
Pukka Herbs | Tea Advent Calendar | The Perfect Non-Chocolate Christmas Countdown for Tea Lovers | Eco Friendly Gift | 24 Sachets | 24 Flavours https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F8QHLV3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_CKA0VWEYES3WRTRGFG0E?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
That’s the one I got! Mind you, I’m fairly new to tea, so I don’t know if like a super intense tea person would like it lol but I love it! All great flavors so far and looks nice on my wall!
Sex toys seem like they'd be the most inapparopriately appropriate gift, but if you want some more ideas check out thisiswhyimbroke.com. There's a lot of random stuff but some should fit your requirements.
Happy Potter colouring book - hopefully you can get it locally to avoid shipping this late. http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9781783705481?redirected=true&selectCurrency=AUD&w=AF45AU968LTBHDA8Z94P&gclid=Cj0KEQiAhuSzBRDBoZfG56bK9-YBEiQARiPcZUpHK0cFakuvLmbCCw0SlrwNnPKVDuDZqdG2GzyyQiMaAr-B8P8HAQ
Steam gift card, books about famous chess players or strategies, a gaming headset (for a bigger gift) or a nice mouse. If you know what his favorite games are, could be t-shirt or beanie with a print or think of stuff like keychains and mousepads with pictures of characters or game logo. There are also Birthday video makers like Smartshow 3d or VidDay so you can start with a video first.
I used Canva.com to create an invitation for an experience gift - it's free, no design skills needed, if you can edit a word doc then you'll figure it out, you can insert photos etc. and there are several templates to choose from.
Here's a screengrab of what I created: https://www.screencast.com/t/DbnUtnRAIBZI
Hey!
If you’re okay with e-gift cards check out this link:
If you’re looking for physical gift cards, as far as I know, they don’t sell them up here :(
If interested, there is also a project tutorial, including code files, instructions, and the Android application:
I got this one for my BF for Christmas this year. He had his eye on it last year. I haven’t given it to him for obvious reasons but the box looks fancy lol.
Model Airplane Kit with Tool kit- DIY Scale Model - 3D Model kit Heavenly Hercules - Moving Wind-Up Airplane Model | 3D Puzzle for Adults - Metal DIY Kit | Metal Model Collectible | DIY Construction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084HJ276L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_3ENQ4S3R9ATTC3S3QX61
Well, figure out what games he plays and I will think of some ideas for you. If he likes nerdy gamer stuff I suggest taking a look at http://www.thisiswhyimbroke.com/ . The site isnt too handy to surf but if you search for items under $100 you can scroll down through a million things. Lots of Funny classic game references and also lots of current game items, along with a bunch of other awesome nerdy things
Edit: Oh and also the best way to figure out what he plays is to get his Steam ID (assuming he uses steam on his computer for his games which 98% of gamers do) and search his steam ID on this site: http://www.wastedonsteam.com . This will give you his hours played on each game so you can see what he plays the most.
To get his steam ID: You could ask him for it (but he might be curious why).
OR alternatively If you have access to his computer:
1) Open Steam (should be an icon on his desktop) 2) If it asks you to login it will have his steamID there already. If it logs you in automatically
it will say up at the top right "______'s account" That is his ID.
A DNA testing kit from https://www.23andme.com/ would be unique and interesting :) Here's a video about it if you're not familiar.
It would even be under budget and you could also get him those socks and underwear :P
I'm not sure if you live in a warm climate or not; but either way some nice, weather appropriate running gear is always nice. Also my boyfriend just made me a book of pictures through Apple that definitely made me cry. He included pictures of us and of my family and friends too. Just some thoughts! Here is the link to the photo book site: https://www.apple.com/mac/print-products/
Make them a video celebrating their 40 years together. There’s a site called Vidday that let’s you invite friends to add video messages to wish them a happy anniversary. They put all the videos together in a video montage for you so it looks good and it’s easy. You can add photos too if you want. I did it for my parents and they loved it. They even teared up a bit.
E-gift cards actually sound like a cool idea, and you can try to get their addresses via saying that you need them for some company record. Also they may like a photo collage with photos of each team member and some inspirational or funny quote, check out Photo collage maker or Befunky for this.
But first of all you've got to get their addresses, or there are not so many options to get them any presents at all.
Maybe get him a subscription for some online photography courses? Or a subscription to photo editors like Photoworks or Affinity. A gaming mouse or a headset will do, but it would be better to ask him first, if he needs that. As for the fashion, maybe a gift card of his favorite store?

One of these lil guys. They are a phone stand. I have one and my husband would talk about this little headless hippo around the house and I had NO idea what he was talking about until he showed me, and hehad no clue what it was for.
Not sure how common these are where you live, but my mom got one a few years back and it took her a couple of days to figure out what it's for.
A small gift basket with a variety of nuts, trail mix and jelly beans, look online for unusual flavors, a gift card to a sporting goods store so he can buy ammo, socks etc. Does the club he's a member of have any t-shirts with their logo on them? if so throw in one of those. Here is a book about the history of firearms from the earliest cannons to modern warfare weaponry.

Have a cat loving friend. On amazon they have tons of fun and cute cat themed socks she has loved those.
Also, this book: What Cats Want: An illustrated guide for truly understanding your cat https://www.amazon.com/dp/1526623064/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_5JBSQJCARYSD8Y1KPR3Q
It’s fun and cute and interesting.
If you have space in a yard or go camping at all, these camping hammocks are phenomenal. When lock-down started I set mine up in the backyard and it was so helpful just to get some sunshine during the day, even if I was just playing my Switch. Really easy to set up and take down too.

This is a gag gift, but I got it for someone similar to the way your uncle sounds and they liked it alot.

Glass paining kits are amazing and children really love them (some adults do, too). Can't name any particular brand, though, it's just glass paint but doing paintings that go to windows or fridge or cups is fun.
There are also fun digital things like a collage creator or Sago mini big city, an app that allows to explore the life in the big city.
Glad you like it! Another idea that came to me since I commented - maybe a book if he likes to read? Or an activity book of some kind, like sudoku, crosswords, adult coloring book with colored pencils, etc. I feel like it would be good to send something that can help keep his mind occupied.
Something like this could be funny, or this looks fun for true crime fans!
A massage gun might be a good idea for you. Something like this- https://www.amazon.com/JamGym-Backpack-Carrying-Percussion-Massager/dp/B089CVPLS3/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Massage+gun&qid=1629187230&sr=8-3
Just had a few other ideas:
Send him a hand decorated post card every day of his birthday month. You can even predecorate them and just fill them out with something you like about him, something he’s good at, good memories you have together. He can check the mailbox every day and get a sweet card. Order stickers of things he likes and a pack of post cards you can color or hand draw or even of just stuff he likes. Inexpensive, thoughtful, homemade, and he can keep them in an album or on his wall forever.
Learning a song on the ukulele or keyboard takes about two weeks with daily practice. You could learn a simple song and surprise him with a video of you singing to him a song that is meaningful or has lyrics that speak to your relationship.
Making him a bunch of duct tape wallets takes no time at all too. You could get a metal stamping kit and make matching “dog tags” with your initials, your anniversary, the coordinates of where you first met, things like that on it is easy and meaningful and sweet too. something like this
We got this for each of my kids on their first birthday.

Portable phone charger, nice camera bag if she uses a camera, fancy water bottle, compact hair dryer (something like this), maybe a travellers' backpack with wheels or laptop sleeve. Again, if she takes lots of pictures, then maybe a subscription to travel slideshow software that she can use later to make videos about her trips.
