What are good $20 gift ideas for family you don't see very often?

Solar phone charger. People don't even realize what they've been missing until you give them one.

Gift cards.

Cheap gift baskets of candy or something. Gift cards. Alcohol. Groupons are pretty cool too I got my dad a nice massage for cheap. You can also look at pinterest for ideas.

Last year I bought a bunch of binder clips of different sizes I put them in a paper gift bag with the label " Congratulations you have received the ultimate life hack." It was well received. =)

See if you can find out what they like, and I'll bet you can find it for a decent price on eBay or Amazon

Pick a gift card, any gift card.
