12 Gifts for the trendy Gen X-er

5. Monthly craft beers

Millennial can also mean hipster, and nothing says, “ironic alcoholic beverage” like craft beer. This craft-beer-of-the-month club means that your Gen X friends can act like 20-somethings and join a local kickball league month after month. (Beer Month Club, $33/month)

 6. Crowdsource an affordable vacation getaway

This may be the most genius and trendiest gift yet. It costs you nothing but you’re giving your friend the world! Start an Indiegogo.com, RocketHub.com or Kickstarter.com page asking strangers to pay for your Gen Xer’s stylish jaunt to the first Moxy in Milan. (These sites are free to set up, but they will take a percentage of the total you raise, so make sure to calculate that into your total amount requested!) 

7. Amish beard balm and a beard aid kit

I’ve made the assumption that all of your wannabe-Millennials are female; but in case you have a beard-loving male in the bunch, you’ll want to grab him the hottest beard balm to keep his facial hair silky. (Amish Beard Care, $13-$90)

8. “Greatest hoodie ever made” according to Business Insider

American Giant is more than a giant but a monster when it comes to selling the perfect sweatshirt to Millennials. (American Giant, $89)
