Best thing to gift for less than Rs 500!

[ajayritik]

I'm planning to gift a friend on his birthday something which is worth Rs 500 or less. Earlier I was thinking about gifting him a Flash drive but a 2 GB Flash drive costs Rs 650! What are the other options? 1 GB costs around Rs 400 but I think its too small in size!

1 gb best ade koni gift ivvu,inkoka vishayam vaadi ki favourite songs all languages collect chesi CD okati ivvu,ammayi aite inka manchidi

Earlier I observed that in my 2 GB Flash drive I have only 1.98 space. Most of the DVD movies with each VOB file is of 0.99 GB! Is it possible to copy this into a flash drive? I know he will be mostly use this to copy movies and most of them maybe DVD movies and each file will be around 1 GB.

[MetalheadGautham]

yes he might like it. specially if he already has a PD, because a hand full of pendrives are dead useful to anybody.

Idea: how about giving him a bootable pendrive with a distro running in it? you could customise that distro with all things he likes, make user name too his, and give him a personalised feel?

I would love that as a birthday gift. an os in your pocket.

[ajayritik]

Thanks for the response Metalhead! What do you mean by PD? What do you mean by bootable pendrive with a distro running in it? Can you give me more details?

[cool_techie_tvm]

PD stands for pen drives i presume.

A pendrive can be made bootable, the pc should also support booting from a USB flash drive.

The pendrive can be configured to run a linux distro.

Pretty nifty idea @gautham

1)If he loves reading buy him a good book according to his interest.

2)Get a wrist watch.

[ajayritik]

Cool G5 he isnt much into books! Last year I had gifted him watch!

[amol48]

What about a Message T-Shirt ? Or Personalized T-shirt...
Or you can gift him a Gift Voucher Instead ! e.g. Shoppers Stop, Central or Westside

[xbonez]

gift him sony mdr818 earphones, they cost rs500 n are really gud

or, order him a t-shirt from TPB (i'd love that)

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^heh.TPB t-shirts are cool.

@a_k_s_h_a_y:umbrellas: rofl.I don't know how can anybody gift 'umbrellas' on b'days.

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

^^ areey bhai i thought the b'day boys gf will give him a gift for which he might need umbrella

[praka123]

or if he is vegetarian give him 500Rs in a cover!and let him choose the best

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^prakash bro har baat mein drinks kahan se aa jati hain?heh.


@a_k_s_h_a_y:yea never thought about it.hmmm cos never got such gift.dammit.

[xbonez]

a rapidshare premium account ?? or web hosting and domain??

[vivekrules]

lol... arey yaar .. give sumtin cool... give him sum perfumes .. .. it ill not cost above 500Rs/-

[amol48]

^^ Perfumes ,Deo's and wallets are most common things. Imagine you gave perfume and three others also gave the same thing..!! LOL what a situation :-P

[ajayritik]

What are TPB Tshirts? Amol gift voucher is not a bad idea but I thought when you gift someone he should not know the price of it! However if you give a gift voucher he will know the price! I may settle for a flash drive but that is after I know what TPB T- shirts are! I have gifted all these things in the past to him like wallet, perfumes, belts etc This time I thought it should be something different! I was almost going to finalise the flash drive but its little expensive! Maybe I should settle for a 1 GB Flash drive or a TPB Tshirt!

[chesss]

voh teri gf hai kya jo itna soch raha hai? kutch bhi dede . just give him cash if u can't think of anything

[cvvikram]

You can get some ideas from the following site-

[xbonez]

@chesss : +1

@ajay : TPB t-shirts are t-shirts from The Pirate Bay

[ajayritik]

chess if it was a GF, I wouldnt have to think much coz the budget will go up and hence I will be having more options. Infact at that time I will have many options. But since this is a friend I have lesser options!

By the way can anyone tell me if its possible to store a 1 GB file in a 1 GB Flash Drive or you can store only 0.98 GB?

[xbonez]

@ajay : no, it is not possible to store a 1gb file on a 1gb pen drive...however, if u're talking about dvd movies, after ripping u can get them down to 700mb so they'll easily fit in a 1gb PD

[ajayritik]

Hey someone please give me some more info on Pirate Bay T-Shirts! From where can I get it? How should I purchase them?

[xbonez]

u can but the t-shirts from their website.....below the search bar u'll find a link saying Shop...however, their t-shirts are expensive, plus they'll charge u for shipping...however, u can get TPB t-shirts from other sites too for a lot less (though they aren't official TPB store, but who cares...)

[amol48]
