Christmas is almost upon us , so I was wondering , what can you buy for $10 .....

Yeah , dont need to be a flashlight ....

Just a nice gift for $10 or less even ....

Christmas is darn close ....

If the gift is needed by Christmas (for Christmas), shouldn't anything from DX be off the list because of their shipping times(or has something changed)?

Not really. If you order anything now, you might get lucky and get it in time for Christmas (depending on where you live), but unless they already have it in stock in a warehouse close, any store that has a JIT-business model and uses either China Post or HKP probably won't be able to get your order delivered until after Christmas (possibly even after NYE).

Could be too late to order , unless its in stock ...

Something like this should have been started a month ago ....

Most stuff from Ebay should still make it .... [ Should ]

Well...the last couple of things that arrived from China were beaten-up pretty badly. Time of year I guess.

It's never too early to shop for next Christmas, birthdays, etc. I try to shop year round. I hate Christmas shopping, but if I don't have to rush through a mall elbowing people, I'm ok (I don't actually elbow people).

I heard many Chinese retailer now have overseas warehouse like DX and FP, is this true?

it will shorten the time?

I am trying...

Your correct but if it needs to arrive on time Amazon is probably the only sure bet hope for timely delivery.

My DX orders seem to take 6-8 weeks, they should rename it SX slow-extreem

That's a pretty good find on the DMM - amazing, really.

Christmas under 10 bucks.... hmmm....time is running short..... how about a cheap bottle of wine, and a 3 pack of condums

My punt would be a C8.

Would like to suggest the E01 at DD

With their current coupon, they can be had for under 10 bucks a pop if you go the below route.

Get 3 for $ 5 bucks off (oneworldweshare will bring it down to $ 9.3 each)

5 for $ 13 bucks off (SAVE13OFFME a low $ 8.4 each)

The best bit is, they are a no brainer gift light, just pop in an AAA and hook onto key chain, use as needed.

I'm sure you'll need more than one gift stocking right?

Great suggestion I was going to recommend the E01 from DD...great light, great price. Quality is very nice on these lights. Very handy.

you can get a cool little green laser for $7.77 It ships from the U.S. , I bought one but haven't received it yet. Runs on AAA's.

I got one of those with a kaleidoscope attachement. Freaks me out.

Try the Adult Toys section of DX, for some great Xmas presents...Tongue Out

No links will be presented, you're on your own.

Maybe not a good idea.........Undecided

My mind wanders to the ghosts of Christmas Past.Wink

Riderbike, since i already got the regular green laser, can I buy just an attachment for kaleidoscope? or is that just a whole seperate animal? Ooops, nevermind, now I see it. You can get one that comes with the kaleidoscope attachment, for $8.88 …FFFuuuuuuuuddddge!
