Holy crap! Those are some damn good ideas. I’m impressed. Especially because the board game you mentioned. My husband, who’s bday is days away, would probably LOVE! He loved make your own adventure books! This may be perfect!Soap. Fancy soaps are an ideal pandemic gift IMO. Helps people clean their hands and you can get some cool ones if you know where to look.
Decent webcams and headphones with a mic have been extra hot this year. Everyone I know either got a new set this year or needs one.
Board games. There's some that can even be played solo out there. Look into modern titles, not hasbro things. Board games help keep people connected, many can be played digitally, and they're lots of hours of entertainment for the money spent. We're going through Pandemic Legacy Season 0 right now which is a board game about being a doctor/spy in WWII trying to stop the soviet russians from releasing a biological super weapon in the US. Every time you play it tells a different part of the story and the choices you make effect future events, like a chose your own adventure. It's VERY good.
Thank you for the ideas !!!! You saved my bacon.
