Gifts for Home

 

Dash Mini Maker Grill, Griddle, Waffle Iron

Now I’ll admit, sometimes the last thing we think we want is another gadget in the kitchen, but I’m hear to tell you, I loved my dash so much that I ordered a second! We use them to make “Chaffles” (lots of recipes on Pinterest) in a jiffy. You can make more than waffles with these personal sized gadgets: paninis, hashbrowns, and even biscuit pizzas! You’ll thank me for this one! Buy from Amazon

 

My Pint Electric Ice Cream Maker Machine for Gelato, Sorbet & Frozen Yogurt

This is one of those gifts that will please just about anyone on your list. Who doesn’t love ice cream, gelato, sorbet, or frozen yogurt? And during times when we want to make more memories than ever, why not whip up a batch to share with the drop by holiday visitors? Buy from Amazon

 

Pancake and Cupcake Batter Dispenser

I hate a messy kitchen, and yet, my family loves big breakfasts on the weekend. One way to minimize the mess when cooking or baking is to use this batter dispenser that has its own measuring label. Buy from Amazon

 

Hand Foamer/Frother/Blender/Whisk

This little gadget takes up very little room and yet helps foam milk, lattes, milk shakes, hot chocolate, eggs, etc. It’s easy to use with a simple one touch switch. It is battery operated and easy to clean. Buy from Amazon

 

Rapid Boil Electric Kettle

Would it surprise you that I grow impatient waiting for my water to boil for tea or soup or hot cocoa? This kettle boils water rapidly, has a cool touch handle, is cordless, and shuts off automatically. Buy from Amazon

 

Compact Air Fryer

Most air fryers seem to take up a lot of counter space. This compact air fryer is perfect for small kitchens, apartments or dorms. It’s easy to use and clean up, and makes food perfectly crispy without the use of oil. Buy from Amazon

 

Waterproof Outdoor String Lights

For the longest time, I wanted string lights out on our deck and patio. I love the ambiance it brings as it invites me back outside in the early evening. These lights are the perfect brightness, but come with a dimmable feature, and are easy to hang. For an added bonus, pick up an automatic timer (listed below). Buy from Amazon

 

Water Resistant Outdoor Timer

We picked up two of these timers this fall to connect to our waterproof outdoor string lights, so that they would turn on and off at the same time every day automatically. Buy from Amazon

 

Hand-Blown Glass Hummingbird Feeder

I absolutely love it when the hummingbirds come to visit. My boys gave me this beautiful hummingbird feeder for my birthday this year. It’s a beautiful addition to any garden setting. Buy from Amazon

 

Deluxe Blend Wild Bird Seed

This deluxe blend wild bird seed attracts both perching and ground birds to support any bird watching enthusiast. Buy from Amazon

 

Pruning Sheers

Every gardener needs a new pair of pruning sheers every few years. This pair has a soft handle, and lasts longer thanks to the titanium used to design these. Buy from Amazon

 

Durable Gardening Gloves

Every year I go through several pairs of gardening gloves, leaving holes in the fingertips. This particular pair of outdoor working gloves are made out of durable bamboo and have lasted me longer than any other pair I’ve owned. Buy from Amazon

 

Digital Photo Frame

One of my favorite gifts is always updated family photos. This digital picture frame has 16GB of storage, and allows family and friends to share photos via app, email, or the cloud. Buy from Amazon

 

Over the Door Shoe Organizer

Shoes take up so much room. An over the door shoe organizer like this one takes advantage of otherwise wasted vertical storage and makes it easy to find that perfect pair of shoes for your next outfit. Buy from Amazon

Beautiful Easy to Care For Orchid

This year with the stores shut down and social distancing in effect, I had to resort to ordering gifts for many online. I was given one of these beautiful orchids for Mother’s Day and loved it so much. Not only is it beautiful, but it’s so easy to care for: you add an ice cube to the soil once a week and forget it! I’ve never been known to have a particularly green thumb, but my orchid is still thriving! Buy from Amazon

Christmas Cactus

Want to cheer someone up this Christmas and bring a little color into their life? Do it with this beautiful Christmas cactus! Buy from Amazon

 

Inverted Umbrella

Have you ever wrestled with an umbrella, trying to close it while you get yourself into the car? This ingenious new invention is your answer to those rain-soaked days. They have lots of beautiful colors and patterns to choose from (I’m personally hoping to receive one for myself this Christmas!) Buy from Amazon

 

Melodic Deep-Tone Wind Chimes

 

 

These windchimes are as beautiful to look at as they are to listen to. They turn the breeze into a musical symphony. A sure treat for any nature or music lover on your list. Buy from Amazon

 

Flameless Candle with Timer

As a candle lover, I don’t always want the scent or the flame from traditional candles. Luminara candles have the look of a traditional candle but the bonus of being flameless and offer a timer feature so that you don’t have to remember to turn the off each evening. Buy from Amazon

 

 

Gifts for Personal Care

Travel Foam Neck Pillow

This lightweight foam neck pillow offers comfortable support for resting when traveling by car or airplane, or even within the home for additional neck support. Buy from Amazon

One Step Hair Dryer Brush for Faster Blowout

This is one of my absolute new favorite tools this year. This hair dryer brush both dries and styles your hair at the same time. It adds volume and leaves hair smooth and healthy. This makes a perfect gift for almost every female on your list. Buy from Amazon

 

Hair Straightener Brush

I don’t particularly like using flat irons…they are harsh on my hair and I don’t find them particularly easy to use. This hair straightener brush, however, is so easy to use, and works wonderfully on wavy and curly hair. Buy from Amazon

 

Lighted Makeup Mirror with Magnification

I’m probably showing my age here, but I can use all the help I can get putting on my makeup in our suboptimally lit bathroom. This bathroom mirror is both lighted (dimmable) and magnified to help making my daily makeup routine much easier. Buy from Amazon

UV Nail Lamp for Gel Manicures

I love how long a gel manicure lasts, but I don’t like to go to a nail salon, and prefer to do my own nails at home. This UV LED Nail Lamp is perfect for your at home gel manicure, and fits an entire hand at once. Buy from Amazon

 

Infinitipro Conair Curl Secret

A friend had an earlier version of this, and when we roomed together at a conference I watched her quickly and perfectly curl her hair. I had short hair for 20 years, but when I decided to grow it out, I realized how much more time it took to style. A friend gave this to me last Christmas. It took a couple of times to get used to it, but I’ve come to think it’s one of my favorite gifts she has ever given me. It works well with all length hair. Buy from Amazon

 

Microwavable Neck and Shoulder Wrap

This heat therapy is a wonderful way to deliver moist heat to your neck and shoulders helps relieve pain and stress. Buy from Amazon

 

Portable Blender

Need to blend a smoothie or protein drink on the go? Take this portable blender bottle with you. It’s rechargeable with a USB port. Buy from Amazon

 

Gifts For Family Fun

 

Indoor Snowballs for Hours of Family Indoor Fun

This is one of the most memorable gifts our family has received in recent years. Every so often one of the boys gets this out and a new indoor family snowball fight will ensue. Just good clean fun for kids of all ages. Buy from Amazon

 

Classic Boardgame Jigsaw Puzzle

Every year during the holidays, we always have a jigsaw puzzle out on a card table for anyone or everyone in the family to sit down and assemble for a few moments or few hours at a time. This is one of our newer puzzles, and I love the nostalgia with this picture. Buy from Amazon

 

Nerf Laser Tag

A literal lazer blast! We invested in a 2-pack when the kids were in middle school, and then added another 2-pack when we realized how much fun they were. Us parents joined in and ended up using these as much as our children. Oldest is in college now, but these still work fine and come out of the toy bin when everyone is home. Make sure to pick up plenty of AA’s. Buy from Amazon

 

Kringle Danish

I cannot even begin to tell you how many Kringle Danishes we have given over the years! And every year this goes on my husband’s Christmas wish list. It’s that good! We’ve never had a bad flavor, but our favorite is the almond. This makes a perfect gift for bosses, coworkers, friends and family who live far away. Just ask for it to be shipped, and wait for the phone to ring with them thanking you! (And don’t forget to get one for yourself while you’re at it!) Buy from Amazon

 

 

Accessories

2021 Planner

A new planner is on most people’s list by the end of December. This planner gives weekly and monthly views, with a flexibly hardcover, and useful tabs. Buy from Amazon

 

 

 

Waterproof Wireless Speaker

This was one of my favorite gifts from last year, and since I continue to use it absolutely every single day, I had to share it with you this year. This portable wireless waterproof speaker is perfect for taking your tunes or favorite podcast with you while you get ready in the shower or bathroom every morning. Also perfect for camping trips or on the boat or kayak. Comes in a variety of colors. Buy from Amazon

 

Apple Airpods

These were given to me a year ago, and not a single day has gone by when I didn’t use them! They are perfect for exercising, or just listening in a crowded place. Buy from Amazon

 

 

Heated Poncho/Wrap Blanket/Throw

Sometimes you just need something “extra” to take off that winter chill. This can be especially true for the older generation who tend to get cold easier. What I like about this one is that it can be used as a throw blanket or like a poncho around your shoulders sitting at a desk or working around the house AND it has an automatic shutoff! Buy from Amazon

 

Swarovsky Annual Edition Ornament

 

 

When my children were small, I started collecting two ornaments a year for them: one fun that had something to do with the past year, and a small annual crystal Swarovsky star/snowflake so that by the time they move into their own place or marry, they will have some ornaments of their own to put on their tree. This is the larger version of Swarovsky’s annual edition Christmas ornament with the tag delineating the year. It makes a beautiful addition to any tree. Buy from Amazon
