6. Coffee or Coffeeshop Gift Cards
There may be no more appreciated gift by those that love coffee, than coffee itself or a coffeeshop gift card... think Starbucks, Scooter's or your local coffee haven.
Maybe it's individual coffees like Grass Fed Coffee
 
Or Coffee companies that give back, like Fire Dept. Coffee
If there’s one thing we learned during our years in the military and fire service, it’s that a good cup of coffee and a well-timed jolt of caffeine are essential for long nights and high-octane lifestyles.
We also discovered that we had a true passion for roasting high-quality coffee beans, so we made it our mission to make great-tasting, easy-drinking coffee for hard working people everywhere.
It’s received the stamp of approval from firehouses, job sites, and offices all across the country.
We guarantee quality, so every batch of Fire Department Coffee is fresh roasted. You order. 
We roast. We deliver. It’s that simple.
** 10% of proceeds from every order goes towards supporting ill or injured firefighters and first responders. It’s great coffee for a great cause. Together, we’re helping take care of our nation’s heroes, one cup at a time.

Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on Radio 105.7 and iHeartRadio - Extreme Last Minute Tech Gift Ideas

If you've waited until the last minute, Rick and Sully have some last minute ideas so you can complete your holiday shopping



Rick and Sully discuss:



** But first, Rick and Sully met up this week and Sully got a new Bluetooth speaker and some wrapping paper with his face all over it from GiftWrapMyFace.com

Now some last minute gift possibilities

1.  Stockpile
Stockpile - Give the Gift of Stock by Dollar
www.stockpile.com

Gift cards that allow you to give gifts of stock in top companies. No account is needed to give a gift of stock without buying a full share. Many top stocks are pricey, which makes it hard to get started. Take Amazon, at $1000 a share. At Stockpile, you can buy fractional shares. Buy $50 of Amazon and get 0.05 shares. A great way for parents to teach their children about investing.
 

2. Movie Pass
www.moviepass.com

MoviePass gives you access to Unlimited Movies in Theaters Nationwide for a monthly fee.
Starts at $29.99

3. Kindle Books
www.amazon.com

When Kindles first arrived on the scene, you couldn't gift books. Now you can. It's simple and who doesn't like getting books as a gift. Especially when you put some thought into it.
Maybe something from a great local author to the Atlanta area. Like Amy Lyle
The Amy Binegar-Kimmes-Lyle Book of Failures is a bestselling humorous memoir.
If you have ever failed at love, finances, been fired, not fit in, self-diagnosed yourself with disorders and conditions and/or said "I really need to get my s*** together," this is the book for you.

 
or..

‘The Hidden Light of Northern Fires.’ A runaway slave’s escape and a feisty abolitionist’s efforts to aid him fuel this action-packed debut novel by AJC Decatur Book Festival founder Daren Wang. The vividly drawn backdrop to the fast-paced drama is a true but little-known piece of Civil War history surrounding the secession of a town in upstate New York and its role in the Underground Railroad.

4.  Event tickets
www.stubhub.com
www.ticketmaster.com

Need a present for someone who loves going to concerts, plays, sports games or events of any kind? No need to buy them tickets for something specific. Send them a StubHub or Ticketmaster gift card or e-gift card and let them decide. You can even option to be that special someone who will go with them to that unique art installation.

 
5.  Amazon Gift Card

www.amazon.com

The old stand by. You can't go wrong with an Amazon Gift Card.
