Gift ideas by Me / Part 10

You and I both know your gifts should've been put in the mail yesterday;) But since you're obviously still out there looking for inspiration and ideas, of course I have some more to share!

Things are flying off the internet shelves faster than ever; it's a major mailing season this holiday (courtesy of the current pandemic). But even a plague can't keep the spirit of Christmas, humanity, friendship, and love down.

“Christmas, my child, is love in action. Every time we love, every time we give, it's Christmas". - Dale Evans

I stood in line at the post office for one hour on Monday to send out my gifts. Of course I got stuck behind a woman who had more then I did but once it was my turn something more important dawned on me.

Let's all cut our postal workers some slack these next few weeks. They are overworked, underpaid, understaffed, and feel extremely unappreciated (esp since the lockdown started back in March). Surprise, bless, and shock them with a round of donuts & coffee, or just asking how they're holding up and thanking them genuinely for coming in to work that day. They are the ones literally delivering Christmas for us this year, truly.

Below are a few more gift ideas that I hope you can get in time and maybe skip the mailing line by shipping it direct to your loved one(s)! (But stock is running low, so hurry!!)

Gifts that are meant for kids but end up feeding the soul of the big kid INSIDE of us instead

• DIY Handmade Ukulele - say "aloha" to your very own Ukulele! This kit contains all the pieces for your instrument and features smooth, unfinished wood to paint and decorate as you like. If that's not quite your style, maybe this will be :)

• No-Your-Average Reusable Ice Cubes - a set of 30 cool and colorful cubes to chill your favorite drinks without watering them down! Just freeze, use and repeat.

• Cottage-style House Tent - crafted from polyester for durability and easy to clean. Use indoors or outdoors — set up easily in seconds and fold flat for convenient storage.

• Solar Gnome - this magical earth dweller smiles on your windowsill/or car dashboard while using the sun power it's hand to wave "Hello!".

• Huckleberry Popcorn maker - invite your friends to gather around your fireplace/campfire and listen for the oil to sizzle. Shake the popper over the flames and listen for popping.

• Inflatable Bowling Game - bowling without a bowling alley! Can be set up almost anywhere indoors and outdoors. Abide by standard bowling rules, or make up your own!

Gifts that you might just want to keep (or end up keeping) for yourself

• Self-Care Prescription - This pad offers permission to actually carve out time to nurture ourselves. Think of it as a gentle but official-ish push for friends, loved ones, and yourself.

Need vs. Want vs. Who Cares - I have to have it!

• Official Bob Ross Chia Pet - One word: classic. Grow Bob’s signature hairdo in just a few weeks and watch in glee as you achieve luscious green growth.

• Solar Powered Rainbow Maker - all you need to create a rainbow is a little sun:) This little guy attaches easily to your window and creates an explosion of rainbow patterns when the sun hits it. The Feng Shui belief says it brings great Chi into your home as well.
