Gift Ideas for the Kid at Heart! - Christmas 2014 - Vim & Vintage Blog

  1. Who says Lego’s are just for kids? This is the perfect gift for the builder, architect, or designer you know.
  2. Because people who park crappy deserve to know about it.
  3. Give the favorite NickToon series for that big kid in your life.
  4. No (adult) party is complete without this game.  Hilariousness served with a side of crude humor.
  5. Growing up with Polaroid’s, this is the next best thing.  Get instant pics with this cute little camera!
  6. This thing is practically an inexpensive drone. It can take pics too.

gift guide: for the entertainer

Hope everyone had a very relaxing Thanksgiving filled with extraordinary amounts of food, family, and fun!  I cannot get over the fact that yesterday was the first day of December.  Did it creep up on anyone else??

I will be starting a series of gift idea posts geared towards different personas.  I’m always on the hunt for gifts that are specific to the person, yet unique and useful too!

The first gift guide is geared toward the Entertainer.  We all know that someone who loves to have dinner parties at their house, cook up a bunch of food, or has that killer wine collection.  It may seem like this person has all their bases covered but here are some interesting items they may not have:
