For the cook, the baker and the BBQ fan
A hundred dollars buys the tool they have been meaning to replace: a decent knife, a cast-iron pan, a proper thermometer. These outlast the cheap versions by years.

Tech, gaming and music
Under $100 the strongest buys are accessories rather than devices, because a cheap device disappoints and a good accessory improves something they already own.

Common questions
How much should you spend on a birthday present?
In Australia, $30 to $50 is normal for a friend or colleague, $50 to $100 for close family. Milestone birthdays tend to run higher.
What is a good last-minute birthday gift?
Something with fast delivery, or a consumable: good coffee, a candle set, chocolates or a bottle. Anything that needs to fit or be assembled is a bad last-minute choice.
Still stuck?
Tell the gift finder their age, the occasion, what they are into and your budget, and it will suggest ten gifts. Not right? Ask for ten more.
