Here is a short list of ideas for stocking stuffers or holiday gifts. Click on the highlighted text or image for link to more info or to purchase.
For your favorite technophile (or absent minded family member!)
Apple air tags - label anything so you can find it with the app on your iPhone….from your luggage (For when the airport sends it somewhere you weren’t intending, so you can help them locate it…or even just to know when it’s time to muscle your way in to the luggage carousel crowd), to your car in the parking lot, your wallet, your keys…pity they aren’t small enough to attach to eyeglasses :).
My daughter just ordered these for her luggage and I’m swiping one for my car! They’d make great stocking stuffers!
For the gadget lover (or drink snob)
Mini Frother - I scoffed when this appeared on the counter courtesy of The Diva, but darned if I don’t use it every time I make hot chocolate or to quickly make foamed milk to add to coffee for a cappuccino, or pretty much any time I want to whisk something in a small container.
It is super fast, and easy to clean up with a quick rinse under the faucet. We have the standard issue black one, but it come in dozens of pretty colors to suit whatever room or personality is getting this! In any case, it is sure to be a hit!
For the puzzle enthusiast
Pretty puzzles - this company makes THE prettiest puzzles in the most attractive cylindrical boxes. The box is pretty enough to leave out on display. There are dozens of designs and I’ve given many of them to my mom (the puzzle queen!) over the years. I think I’ll order this hummingbird one for her next!
For the discerning coffee or tea drinker
Ceramic Travel Mug This ceramic travel mug with a silicon sleeve is the BEST travel mug for the sophisticated coffee or tea drinker on the go! Infinitely better than drinking from a metal or, God forbid, plastic to-go cup, this retains the experience of drinking from your favorite ceramic mug. Comes in a variety of colors and patterns to match your mood and two sizes. I love the pretty minty aqua one, of course….
Just for fun
Okay, I’m throwing these in because they made me laugh…
Fun novelty gifts for your resident…carbohydrate lover, I guess?!…. A Tortilla blanket and a Baguette pillow. I can’t, in good conscience, suggest these for your living room, but they might make a fun gag gift and photo prop!
And…last, but not least, the most ridiculous Unicorn head squirrel feeder. Seriously?! I’m trying to imagine the thought process in the development of this…”you know what would be fun? a squirrel dressed as a unicorn…how can we get that to happen?…” Also available as a horse head?!
Happy Shopping!
