I need some holiday gift ideas (that I will probably gift to myself as well)!
This is stupid. But socks and underwear. All new socks and underwear.
I love throwing out all my old ragged socks and having a bunch of brand new pairs in the drawer.
Adding mine:
- hot water bottle
- weighted blanket
- rice cooker/steamer
- mini electric kettle for work
- ceramic mug with tea strainer insert and heavy lid shaped like a big fat cat: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ceramic-Infuser-Steeping-Holiday-Birthday/dp/B0B6DTKPFT/ref=sr_1_6?crid=3QRXCXJ0WZL7C
- mini desk wrench set
- pink sea salt
- my beloved PINETIME!!!! (how could I forget) It's an under $30 FOSS smartwatch. I haven't even customized it lol. https://www.pine64.org/pinetime/
If they don’t already have a decent kitchen knife, get that. The victorinox fibrox pro goes for around $40. There are also rosewood handle versions that feel a bit fancier for just a little over $50. You may want to pair it with a budget honing steel (can be had for around $15).
bluetooth headphones. love being able to stay active without the buds yanking out of my ears all the time.
Yep. I was the first and the last to rip on Apple for getting rid of the headphone jack.... but wireless headphones are just superior in terms of what you can do. You can start a video, walk to the kitchen to check on something, walk back, do laundry
So many things in your house that are probably pissing you off:
- it's very easy to replace an outlet that doesn't hold a plug or is a little off for whatever reason.
- ditto light switches
- door handles and shit. We hated the jank handle on our patio door that barely worked and required specialized training to get to lock. $12 for a new one, that was much more aesthetically from this decade. (that said, some lock lube, which is a thing, goes a long way)
- ditto for the various shitty faucets in this house (or any slightly older house.) You can get a ton of bathroom fixtures for under $30.
- hinges. Unless you're trying to re-hang a safe door, you're going to be under $20.
- faucet diffuser. They just screw on. Have you lived in your place for more than a few years and haven't replace them? Just do it, it's like $4 a faucet.
- doorbell. Smart doorbells can easily be had for under $50. A little easier often than replacing the traditional bell because you usually have a plug in chime rather than something wired.
- a can of sprayfoam. Seal that area that is letting in air. Trim it with a box knife, chances are you won't know the hack exists.
This. Made a huge difference in the summer for me when working at my desk.
Great topic idea! Here are some of mine, I'll add links later:
- Heat resistant cooking gloves. These are basically oven mitts, but because they're gloves, you can keep them on while cooking. I've gifted a few pairs of these and everyone loves them!
- A percussion massager is great for getting out muscle knots. Foam rollers too.
- Collapsible creates for the car and around the house - mine are made by InstaCrate
- A refillable oil sprayer so that you can buy any oil you want and evenly coat a pan. Great for searing and air frying
- Stainless steel pots are amazing. IKEA sells a set that's around $50. Totally dishwasher safe, heat tolerant, just all around easy peasy
- Costco membership
- A refillable oil sprayer so that you can buy any oil you want and evenly coat a pan. Great for searing and air frying
What kind do you have? I bought one off Amazon and it was dogshit
Here you go: Mistifi Oliver Oil Sprayer for cooking, Spray bottle 6oz, Non-Aerosol Refillable Dispenser Oil Mister FS601 Green Vegetable https://www.amazon.com/Mistifi-grilling-displenser-Non-Aerosol-vegetable/dp/B088D23YJQ
Sawyer squeeze. Used to spend more than $100 a month on bottled water. Not anymore.
Body pillow. I got one off of Amazon for like $30-$40 on a whim to try out sleeping with one. Can't even imagine trying to sleep without it anymore
I have a dog-shaped teddy bear which I almost need to support my arms. It has such a novel shape as a pillow, there are so many uses compared to a rectangular/square cube or tube.
You don't have to get weird anime covers for you body pillow. There's just normal covers lol.
no it has my waifu on it. my waifu is a delicately woven bamboo fiber square pattern in off white
A water pik machine. An electric toothbrush.
A car phone holder. A bidet.
New kitchen towels.
And some more of the other stuff people already said.
