Gift Ideas for Adults

I usually do “Gifts for Her” and “Gifts for Him,” but this year I’m combining them. I realized that a lot of the gifts in the “him” section are things that I personally love for myself (like the tech gifts, for example). I don’t want to perpetuate the myth that women can’t enjoy tech gifts, or that guys can’t enjoy spa products! So, this year, one category encompasses both!

California Design Den Sheets

As someone who owns just two sets of sheets (one is this set), I can tell you that I love getting them as gifts! These sheets by California Design Den are super comfy and pretty! I have the Smoked Pearl, but the Snowflakes set is a super cute gift idea!

2018 Holiday Gift Guide

This portable car battery jumper  is small enough to fit in the corner of your trunk, yet powerful enough to provide up to 20 jumps on a single charge. It’s ultra-safe and totally mistake-proof, meaning it won’t spark or cause  problems with reverse polarity. It includes a bright flashlight so that you can jump your car in the dark, plus an SOS strobe to alert others that you need help. You can even recharge your phone, tablets, and more with it. It’s a must-have for anyone who drives, especially during the winter when dead batteries are more likely and also more dangerous.

Gift Ideas for Little Kids

The Gift Ideas for Little Kids section includes toys appropriate for birth through age 5. Please check the age recommendation for each toy, because obviously a toy that’s good for a toddler may not be ideal for a young baby, and vice-versa.

2018 Holiday Gift Guide

Epic! Subscription

Give kids the gift of an unlimited library with Epic! They set me up with a 3-month membership to check it out, and I absolutely adore it!

Toy Library

Toy Library is a bit different from the other gift ideas for little kids because it’s not a “one and done” deal. You can gift a subscription, then kids get toys to play with until they’re done, and trade them in for new (to them) toys. It’s kind of like old-school Netflix but for toys.

2018 Holiday Gift Guide

Kuler Sky Lamp from Brightech

I’m in the process of reviewing this lamp, and my son is crazy about it.

It includes the Killer Prioritization Engine, which helps reduce peak ping by up to 77%, provided your teen’s gaming system is Killer-enabled.

FPS Freek Battle Royal

KontrolFreek products are on my son’s wish list every year. This year, he’s getting FPS Freek Battle Royale and the KontrolFreek Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Grav Slam in his stocking. That way, when one pair wears out, he’ll have a backup. They do last about 6 months per set, depending on how much your teen uses them. Jake uses his pretty much every day, so I think 6 months is quite a good amount of time.
