Christmas Gift Ideas on Craigslist

From bears to "beer water," there are options aplenty.

Happy Friday, Morristown. Happy December (2nd), too. With Christmas just weeks away, you may have gotten all your shopping done. You may be scrambling. You may only want to get items you know people will love, with a little thought put into them.

Maybe you'll find the perfect gift on Craigslist? Here are five options.

  1. Want to Give a Diner-Themed Kitchen? Well, this may be a good place to start. These tchotckies came from this seller's former diner-themed kitchen. A proven success! Listed since Dec. 1, $30 and these are yours.
  2. Want to Give a 12-Disc CD Changer? Once upon a time, this $50 item (listed since Nov. 30) would be an amazing deal. It still is, but with the mass popularity of digital media, many have abandoned compact discs. If you (or, a gift-getting loved one) have not, however, here might be the deal of the week for you.
  3. Want to Give a Vintage Corn Husker? According to this seller, who has listed the item since Nov. 29, it was purchased from the Morris Museum. So, you know it's authentic. And, c'mon, everybody loves corn (as opposed to Korn, which has a decidedly more limited audience). $75 and it's yours.
  4. Want to Give Perfect Beer Weather? To be honest, on first glance, we thought this Miller Lite sign read "perfect beer water," which did not cause us to flinch. Listed since Nov. 28, pony up $40 and this is yours.
  5. Want to Give Boyds Bear? Not every present has to be brand new. Sometimes, the best gifts are those loved once, in need of a new home to be loved again. Listed since Nov. 26, $5 and this fluffy, soft teddy is all yours.
