#2 evilbob76 Dec 13, 2008 12:07:10	You can't use a forum to get ideas for a gift and then label it as "most creative!" :P What price range are ya lookin at? Oh, and what's their age/gender?
#3 susannymn Dec 13, 2008 16:11:12	Animal shock collars. For the players.
#4 johnfdonohoe Dec 13, 2008 19:04:19	"What price range are ya lookin at?" Hmmmm $50 or lower. "Oh, and what's their age/gender?" A thrity-something-ish man child.

Practical: more credit, or everyone just pitch in and buy the DM's dinner/beer/etc every game night for 'x' amount of sessions. Get a firm committment on this. Inspired: discretely find out their favorite RPG artist. Get said print (nothing too garish, something to accent "gaming room/area"). An 11 X 14 Parkinson, Mimura, Elmore, whatever. Buy a prefab matte/frame, not custom (pricey). Intimate: uh, PVC hood & ball gag? Bring out the gimp for ultimate LARPing

#9 crazy_monkey Dec 14, 2008 9:17:11	One of my Play-by-Post players from a while back was an artist and did a custom piece for me, the face of which is now my avatar. ;) So, if any of the players in the group are creative, doing something personal like that is a surefire bet.

Never really saw the point of gift vouchers. The art one I think is a great idea, this year I've commisioned some pieces for a few of my players. Can't think of a player of mine that I'd want to get the last one from, but that's a problem with the sort of players I end up with.
